Here is the first of three weights with a returning 2011 champion. Ecker started the year at 141 before making the cut to 133 a few weeks after dropping a decision to the returning champ at 141, Yewah of La Crosse. He has gone 7-0 since then, wrapping up the regular season with three first period falls in the Empire championships. If he is hitting on all cylinders, he can put a lot of points on the board.

and 8th twice. He wrestles a lot of close matches but finds a way to come out on top almost all the time.

Other All-Americans include the 4th place Mirocha, 5th place Sheley, and 7th place Henle. Mirocha did drop the IIAC final to Westfall of Coe, however and has also lost to Hohbein, Sheley, and Mileski as well. Sheley’s only DIII loss so far is to conference foe Wunnicke. Wunnicke was on a tear this year and is among the DIII falls leaders, but he lost twice in the WIAC championships, making him hard to read heading into the NCAA Championships. Mileski and Frederickson both topped Wunnicke in a weight class that brough four to the tournament from that one conference.

Herr, Grippi, Snider, and Hohbein were all here last year, though Grippi was at 141 last year and almost all of this year. Grippi lost twice the first weekend but has been undefeated since. Herr was another late dropper to this weight, though he did start the year at 133. Snider and Hohbein both wrestled tough schedules to get this far.

Ecker will be tough to beat, but there are pinners like Wunnicke and proven winners like Brown scattered throughout the weight, and any weight where more than half the entrants have NCAA experience makes for a tough weekend.
