Season outlook:
The Johnson & Wales Wildcats will have their hands full this year as they have lost National Finalist 184 lbs. Senior Brennan Ward and 197 lbs. All-American Bill Mulligan (Year ending injury), but have a solid bunch of upperclassmen that will be looking to make it to the NCAA National Championships in March. Leading the way will be 2010 National Qualifier Colin Lenhardt 174 lbs., who sustained a major injury at the National Duals last year and never fully recovered. Healthy now, he is looking for a return trip. TJ Webster will be moving down from 149 to 141 this year and should make a significant impact at this weight. Senior captain John Donaleski will also be looking to improve on his 3rd place Conference finish from last year. The Wildcats have built up their squad at 149, 157 and 165 lbs. with the addition of 5 high school stars and 2 transfers. Down at the lower weights; Gauthier, Yim and Ferinde could all vie for their starting weight class positions by seasons end. Coach Lonnie Morris will be looking to grab his 200th Win milestone. JWU will be looking to win their 8th straight Pilgrim League title. They are on a 40 match unbeaten streak with their last loss coming in 2004.
