Arch, Hoerle lead initial season-long awards standings
The NCAA has released the first set of standings for the season-long awards for most falls and most tech falls. Mitchell Arch of Case Western Reserve University leads with 15 falls. He is tied with two other wrestlers but wins the tiebreaker based on least time. Luke Hoerle of Stevens Institute of Technology leads the tech falls list with 13, one ahead of his nearest competitor. These totals only count matches between Division III opponents.
