It’s March, and while many people associate this time of year with basketball, the college wrestling season is approaching crunch time as well. The dual meet season is over and individual competition is here, starting first with the Big Ten tournament March 5-6 and followed by the NCAA tournament in Detroit, Michigan March 17-19.
As a team, Wisconsin (12-2, 6-2 Big Ten) had a very strong year, losing only to Nebraska and Iowa. With experienced veterans as well as some quickly rising fresh faces, there are several Badgers with serious aspirations to compete and place at nationals in Detroit.
