Lehigh certaintly had a great year in wrestling!! Looked like like a pretty standard year with the usual programs at the top. However, I didn't expect to see Edinboro on that list!

I think Cornell has 9 - the 7 that qualified in the EIWA tourny, plus 2 wild cards.

Haven't seen the wild cards yet, just going on tournament qualification. AS for Edinboro, their jump is attibutable in no small portion to some transfers--most notably former disgraced and dismissed NCAA Champ from Nebraska, Donohoe. I think they may have brought in a few others.

I'd like to see UNI get in the top 20 at the National Championship meet. I believe last year they got 17th, so any finish in the top 20 would be fine by me!

I must admit, I generally don't cheer for Iowa or ISU, but I'd like to see them finish one, two. I think it bodes well for the state in general.

Hawkeyes will certainly be the prohibitive favorite---but then, again, so was Minnesota last year! I agree on ending up in the Top 20..That is a good benchmark. I think we'll be 'close' to that line as well. We're not as strong a tournament team. I'd be happy with a couple all-americans. I think we have a decent shot at 141, 149, 184 and 285.
