Participating programs included Virginia, Gardner-Webb, The Citadel and Army West Point from the NCAA Div. I men, Newberry and Lander from the NCAA Div. II men, and Campbellsville and Presbyterian from the NAIA and NCAA women’s divisions.
Move of the week
Arizona State’s four-time NCAA All-American senior Cohlton Schultz punctuated a title at the Journeymen Collegiate Classic with a pin over Isaac Trumble of NC State. Both Schultz an Trumble wrestled in the finals of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, Schultz in Greco-Roman and Trumble in freestyle.
Performance of the week
Utah Valley’s Terrell Barraclough continued his hot streak with an 8-0 major decision over No. 12 Bubba Wilson of Nebraska during dual meet competition last Friday in Orem, Utah. The Huskers won the dual, 32-7, but Barraclough continues to be a highlight for coach Adam Hall’s Wolverines as he moved to 6-0 on the season. Already this season, Barraclough has a win over NCAA All-American Hunter Garvin of Stanford and won the Menlo Open.
