Wrestler of the Week: Brady Koontz
The d3wrestle.com Wrestler of the Week is Brady Koontz of the University of Dubuque. Koontz began his season this past weekend at the NWCA National Duals and won in all six of his team’s duals at 125 lbs. as the Spartans finished in 11th place with a 3-3 record. The highlight of his weekend was a 4-1 overtime win against two-time NCAA finalist Jacob Decatur of Baldwin Wallace. He also defeated d3wrestle.com Contenders Jalen Dunson of UW-Whitewater and Cristian Chavez of Luther.
Koontz, a grad student from Plover, Wisconsin, is completing his final semester of eligibility at Dubuque this spring. He joined the team in the second half of last season after transferring from Ohio State. He finished in third place at the Lower Midwest Regional and went on to take 7th at the NCAA Championships. Koontz has competed on multiple age-group world teams in Greco-Roman and made his senior level world team debut this past September at the 2023 World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. Dubuque is off this week before competing in three American Rivers Conference Duals next Saturday against Wartburg, Central, and Buena Vista.

National Duals and Weekend Wrestling
The NWCA National Duals start today at 11am Eastern time from the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa. 23 Division III teams will compete for the title. Top-ranked Augsburg leads the pack and will be favored to repeat as champions. The bracket on TrackWrestling is difficult to follow. The first seven duals are separated out into one-off brackets called Division III Prelim and are numbered 1-7. If you select a prelim bracket, it will show you where the winning team will go in the full bracket. The full bracket currently shows byes that will be filled by prelim match winners. One hopes this will become more clear as the matches happen and the brackets are filled.
