Isaiah Bellamy made a late season change to HWT last year and has put on 30+ lbs. of quality mass which will bode well for him now as a legitimate heavyweight. A young, but talented, lightweight group is looking to make their mark after having quality mat-time experience last season. The Cardinals are looking to have another winning dual season along with a stronger, successful finish at both the Northeast Regional and NCAA Championships.

With high levels of talent and experience returning on the roster, combined with a solid incoming freshmen class, it is easy to see why optimism abounds in the ONU wrestling camp. “We are excited about the upcoming season,” Head Coach Ron Beaschler said. “Our goal each season is to win the OAC title and we feel that we have the talent to compete for that. This season we have great upperclass leadership along with an excellent freshmen class that we feel can help us get to the next level.”

Season Outlook:
Johns Hopkins featured just one senior on its 2015-16 team so a majority of the team returns intact. With four Centennial Conference place-winners and the healthy return of junior Christian Vallis (133) and sophomore Ricky Cavallo (125), the Blue Jays will push for a spot in the top half of the Centennial Conference. The Blue Jays may still be a year away from contending for the title as only two of the 10 projected starters are seniors.

Springfield College wrestling team is ready for an exciting season as it pursues its 1000th dual meet victory. Springfield will become the 4th NCAA program to accomplish this feat. After the loss of national qualifiers Tyler Keane and Jake Benedict, the team will rely on a mix of solid veterans as well as a group of young talented transfers and freshmen. Springfield College will have one of the toughest schedules they have wrestled in recent years. The squad will be competing at the Ithaca Invitational, Doug Parker Invitational, Petrofes Invitational hosted by Messiah College, NWCA National Duals and the Budd Whitehill Duals hosted by Lycoming. Springfield College will certainly be battle tested come post-season.
