Messiah’s Kaleb Loht is the leader in wins for all of Division III with 43, and 11 of those wins are against wrestlers in this weight class. He is undefeated against DIII opponents and has a common opponent win over #2 Jones of NYU. Jones was 5th at 133 last year and has just a pair of non-DIII losses on his record. He won the East Regional for the second year in a row and has settled into his new weight class nicely. #3 Bistis was an All-American in 2012 but, much like Loht, was unable to overcome a late season injury to qualify for last year’s tournament. Of the rest of the top ten, only #9 Giacolone and #10 Travis were in the tournament last year, but unranked Nathaniel Behnke of Eau Claire had a great tournament and won five matches to place 5th. He won the West Regional and is looking to shake off a few regular season losses to guys in this weight and put together another great run.
Logan Meister became Ferrum’s first ever national qualifier in their first year of having a program. He had seen very little DIII competition before the regional due to Ferrum’s relative isolation from the rest of Division III, but he does have a win over Behnke this season. He overcame his 8th seed position to finish third in a very good East Regional tournament. Just five wrestlers from Maryland are in the tournament this year, but two are at this weight. Meister is from Sykesville, while Banaszak of Chicago is a Bethesda native. Both freshmen are making their first of what could be many trips to the Championships. The last All-Americans from Maryland were Matt Cross and Tim Stewart who both made the podium for Messiah in 2012.
