The University of Wisconsin wrestling team’s season came to a close this past weekend at the NCAA Championships.
Six wrestlers headed to the tournament, each picking up at least one victory, but only two advanced to the quarterfinals.
In his first season as coach, Chris Bono led the Badgers to a 9-6 record in duel-matches this season, including the team’s highest finish at the Midlands Championships since 2010 and the first season with two All-Americans since 2017.
“This team is a bunch of fighters,” Bono said. “We’ve got some really great kids.”
Wisconsin was represented in the quarterfinals by the two-time All-American, Evan Wick, who weighs in at 165 lbs and his All-American teammate, Trent Hillger, who weighs in at 285 lbs.
