University Nationals (updated with freestyle)
The University Nationals started today in Akron, Ohio, with the greco-roman competition. There are not many DIII athletes in that event, though John Carroll’s James Nemunaitis is in the semifinals at 96kg and Heidelberg’s Jerry Knapp is wrestling 120kg. There will probably be more in the freestyle event, and the final list of competitors will be available tonight after the weigh in and bracket draw.
