When the wrestling schedule dropped nearly one month ago, this coming Sunday, Jan. 31, was one of the few tri-meets all wrestling fans eagerly circled with anticipation: #1 Iowa vs #2 Michigan vs Illinois.
Unfortunately, earlier this week, the University of Michigan halted any and all athletic activities, including the suspension of all games, contests, and wrestling meets due to a Covid-19 outbreak. Outside of the upcoming meet with Penn State on Feb. 12, this was a chance to finally see the best team Michigan has assembled in years. I won’t dive too heavily into them right now, but they have three All-Americans coming off Olympic redshirts, with two of them ranked #1 and the third, ranked #2.
