last year. He is currently undefeated, though he only began competing in the second half of the season. He has had some close calls this year including a 7-6 win over #4 seed Kyle Hatch of Wabash. He has show the ability to put up big results, but he will need to be on his game. The #2 and #3 seeds are from the East with #2 Taylor Shay defeating #3 Nick Racanelli of Wilkes early in the year. Shay’s only loss is outside DIII, while Racanelli’s only loss is to Shay.

There are two unseeded All-Americans here. Nick Remke of Coast Guard finished 5th last year, while Mark Choinski of Oshkosh is a 2x All-American at 157 who is up at 165 this season. His first round match is one of the best in the tournament, as he is set to take on Anthony Arroyo of Baldwin Wallace, the 3rd place finisher at this weight last season. Kyle Hatch finished 8th last season but is seeded 4th here. He has a loss to Jeske as well as one to the 5th seed Eddie Smith of Loras who won the Lower Midwest Region.

Nicholas Bonomo of Whitewater did not wrestle any matches at 165 this year until the regional where he placed second to Jeske. He did the exact same thing last year, making his 165 debut at the regional where he placed 3rd. He will take on the 3rd seed Racanelli in his first bout. Michael Suarez of Luther entered the regional with a 12-12 record and promptly went 5-1 to finish third and earn a spot in the championships.

This is the only weight where returning champs could meet up. Ryan Epps of Augsburg won this weight class last year and has a single DIII loss. That loss is to Wartburg’s Cross Cannone, the champion at 149 last year. Cannone is riding a 61 match winning streak dating back to his loss in the 2017 finals at 141. Cannone provided a crucial win for the Knights over Epps in the annual Battle of the Burgs won by Wartburg on a tiebreaker.

Cannone and Epps are the favorites, but the 3rd and 4th seeds at this weight are both undefeated so far. Kaidon Winters of RIT lost in the round of 12 last year but has not lost since. He has wins over five wrestlers in the bracket. Antwon Pugh of Mount Union sports an identical 31-0 record to Winters and also has five wins in the bracket. Epps is the only returning All-American at the weight, but Bradan Birt of Millikin and Trevor Corl of Lycoming wrestled for 7th at 149 last year with Birt taking that matchup.

Keone Derain of Elmhust and Christopher Muce of Centenary are both back at the tournament after qualifying in 2017. #5 Brandon Murray of Loras is a former NJCAA All-American and 2x national qualifier for Iowa Central. Tyler Marsh is a 2x qualifier for WPI and the first to qualify in consecutive years for the team since 2004.

It looks like a two man race at 174 with Darden Schurg and Jairod James on course for a finals matchup. The two wrestled the first week of the season with Wabash’s Schurg topping defending NCAA champion James 4-3 at the Michigan State Open. Neither has had too much trouble with DIII competition so far this year. They would have had a rematch at the regional final, but Schurg forfeited to James, postponing a potential match until this weekend.

There are three other All-Americans in the bracket. Fourth seeded Daniel Kilroy of TCNJ was 8th in 2017 and in the round of 12 last year. Tanner Vassar of Augsburg and Jake Voss of Coe wrestled for 7th last year at this weight with Vassar coming out on top. Vassar had to beat last year’s 6th place finisher to get 3rd at the regional and earn his spot. Voss defeated fellow qualifier Jacob Krakow of Loras in the regional semifinal to grab his spot in the tournament.

Kyle Briggs of Wartburg spent last season behind 3x All-American Eric DeVos but has shined this season. He has just one DIII loss to Schurg and wins over Vassar and Voss. A.J. Aeberli, Colin Kowalski, and Malik Settles all qualified last year, though Kowalski was at 165. Blake Rosenbaum of Ferrum placed 4th in his region in both 2017 and 2018, but he finally qualified with a regional championship this season.

This is the lightest weight without a returning champion, as Cross Cannone has moved up to 157. There are a good number of wrestlers with a shot at taking this weight. Top seed Da’mani Burns of Johnson & Wales is tied for 2nd in DIII with 21 falls and is 6th in dominance heading into the weekend. He has wins over #3 Maloney and #5 Kaliner this season. Second seeded Zachary Cooper of Alma has a single loss this year which avenged in the regional final. He had to work to get here, winning in overtime in the region semis and making a 2nd period rideout stand up in a 1-0 finals win.

Brett Kaliner of Stevens was the national runner up at 141 last season. This year, he has losses to Maloney and Burns and wins over several others in the bracket including 3x All-American Gregory Warner of York. Stephen Maloney qualified for Messiah last year and comes in as the 3rd seed this year after a good season. Alex Wilson of Augsburg fell in the round of 12 last year and hopes to finish his career on the podium.

Sean Sax is the first ever qualifier for Westminster College in their second season as a program. Logan Schlough of La Crosse qualified this year while his brother Hayden qualified at 141 last year for the Eagles. Ryan Budzek of TCNJ made it back to the NCAA Championships in 2019 after last qualifying in 2016. Kristian Rumph started the year at 141 but moved up to 149 at the end of January and found his way to the top of the regional podium with a win over Kevin Kelly of Loras, a round of 12 finisher at 141 a year ago.

Victor DeFrance, Messiah

Dylan Roth has put together an outstanding season to take the top seed with a 38-0 record. He missed the entire 2018 season with an injury, but he appears to be making up for lost time. 184 is a good weight class with the 3rd, 4th, and 8th place finishers from last year as the next three seeds. Jake Ashcraft won the Most Dominant award from the NCAA last season. John Boyle split a pair of matches with Ashcraft at last year’s tournament, though Ashcraft as the win this season. Khamri Thomas of Johnson & Wales split wiht Boyle, winning the regional final and was 2-1 against 5th seeded Paul Detwiler of Coast Guard.

Justin Ransom of Baldwin Wallace is the only as yet unmentioned wrestler who qualified last season. He has moved up to 184 after qualifying at 174 last season. He also has a win over #2 seed Ashcraft. Nick Stencel wrestled all last season at 184 before dropping to 174 for the postseason. This year, he stayed up and it paid off with a trip to Roanoke. Both of his losses this season were to Coe wrestlers, with Josh Edel being the one who qualified here.

Jake Paulson is the first qualifier for the second year Penn State-Behrend squad out of Erie, PA. He lost his first match at the regional and reeled off five wins in a row to make it here. Kyle Peisker spent almost the entire season at 174 before moving up to 184 at the very end of the year and placing third at the Upper Midwest. Devon Pingel transferred to Adrian from Cleveland State and made the regional final where he fell to Roth. He also wrestled 174 lbs. defending champ Jairod James while representing CSU last season.

Mario Vasquez, Ferrum
Robert Dinger, TCNJ
Tommy Stokes, Wilkes

Troy Stanich is undefeated against DIII competition and has just two non-decisions this season in that streak. He is the odds on favorite to win this tournament. This was true the past two years as well, but he dropped matches to a pair of Johnson & Wales wrestlers before storming back to 3rd each time. The JWU wrestler is on the other side of the bracket this year. Also on the other side is the defending champion at this weight, Ben Brisman of Ithaca. Brisman’s only loss this season is to Stanich back in December.

There are three returning All-Americans at this weight that are unseeded. Evan Drill was 4th for NYU last year at 149 and has dropped to 141 this season. Jimmy McAuliffe of Elmhurst topped Joseph Ferinde of Johnson & Wales in the 7th place match at this weight last year. There are also a couple of more seeded All-Americans. Brendan Ladd was a surprise semifinalist last year for Alma and has just one loss this season. Chris Williams of Millikin is a three time All-American who beat Ladd in the consolation semis last season.

Clint Lembeck of Loras was an All-American and regional Outstanding Wrestler in 2017. David Flynn of Augsburg was the 4th seed last year but fell in the All-American round to Ferinde. This year, he lost in the regional semis to Hazen Rice of Whitewater, the 3rd seed with just two losses ont he year. Brandon Woody is part of a three-man Averett contingent making its first NCAA appearance.

Travis Ogden, Lycoming
Tyler Hammack, Heidelberg
Zeckary Lehman, Baldwin Wallace

Just three All-Americans are back at this weight including the top two seeds. Eiini Udott of Centenary is a four time NCAA qualifier and was 5th here last year. Guy Patron was 3rd as a freshman and 2nd last year as a sophomore. Udott is undefeated against DIII competition, though he has perhaps not seen the same level of opponent as some of the other top seeds. Patron has wins over the 4th and 7th seeds but losses to the 3rd and 8th seeds. Keajion Jennings, the 4th seed, was an All-American at 184 last year, and he has a win this season over #3 Benick of Augsburg. Seeding this weight must have been a challenge.

Michael DiNardo (JWU), Jonathan Wagner (Coast Guard), Ken Burrs (Waynesburg) all return to the weight after qualifying last year, while Zeckary Lehman (Baldwin Wallace) and Tyler Hammack (Heidelberg) join Jennings in making it at 197 a year after qualifying at 184. Thiel’s Gage Gladysz was a qualifier at 197 in 2017 before moving up to 285 and missing the tournament. Back down to 197, he is making a second trip to the championships.

Mount St. Joseph has not had a national qualifier since 2014, and they went through a rough stretch where the team was shut down for a season to give them time to build the roster back up. Freshman Ohio state champion Antonio McCloud won the Central Region and gives the Lions a shot at an All-American in their return to the national stage. Michael Curtis is one of two qualifiers for WPI, and the Engineers have multiple qualifiers for the first time in 16 years.

Yoseph Borai, Stevens

Brock Rathbun became the first freshman national champion in Wartburg’s history last year, but he will have a tough road ahead if he wants to repeat as champion. He will be the third seed this weekend with a familiar foe potentially awaiting in the semifinals. Second seed Sam Bennyhoff of Augsburg was Rathbun’s finals opponent last year and took the win in their dual this season. The top seed spent last year at Iowa Lakes Community College but Jordin James now mans 133 lbs. for Mount Union. His only loss this year was a disqualification in the season’s first week, and he has wins over four other wrestlers in this tournament.

Fourth seed Bobby Jordan of Johnson & Wales has qualified several times to the championships and was an All-American in 2017. An injury cut short his season last year, but he is back in 2019 with a win over Bennhoff at the National Duals. Owen Doster returns for Wabash and was an All-American in 2017 before going 0-2 at last year’s tournament. Charles Nash was a round of 12 wrestler at 141 for Baldwin Wallace last year, and Ricky Cavallo returns at the same weight hoping to improve on last year’s single win in the event.

Ben Vosters of Stevens Point qualified for the tournament in 2016 and gets to return for the first time in 2019. Jacob Forsman of Norwich was unseeded at the regional but became the first qualifier for his team since 2008. Kimo Dial of Merchant Marine did not place at his conference tournament but defeated an NCAA round of 12 finisher in the 3rd place match to earn his way into the tournament.

There is a lot of firepower at 285 this year. Jake Evans is the defending champion and has 186 career wins. Top seed James Bethel is undefeated in DIII and leads the NCAA in dominance. He is second behind Evans in falls. Adarios Jones missed last year with an injury but is undefeated this season. In 2017, he defeated Bethel and Evans at the NCAA Championships. Konrad Ernst of Lacrose is also undefeated this year and is third in dominance. Garrett Wesneski of Lycoming defeated Evans in the regional final and has split with the Waynesburg wrestler this year for his only loss.

Fifth seed Jake O’Brien is the remaining All-American in the weight. He was a semifinalist last year before finishing 5th with a win over Ernst in his final match. Of the wrestlers not yet mentioned, only RIT’s Connor Calkins was in the bracket last season, though Otterbein’s Drew Kasper qualified in 2018 at 197 lbs. Hoping to make the most of his chance is Bowen Wileman of Wartburg. He has been behind All-Americans the past few seasons for the Knights and has qualified as a senior is his first chance in the starting lineup.

Two of the wrestlers that qualified here did not compete until February. Grant Miller of Wheaton is a football player for the Thunder, and his first competition was February 7th in the CCIW Championships. Brandon Ballard came to York after earlier stops at South Dakota State and Labette Community College. He has a few more matches than Miller under his belt but his first one came in a dual on February 1st.

Sawyer Sarbacker, La Crosse
Zack Murillo, Wesleyan

The first three weights all feature the 2018 champion in the bracket, but the only one of the three to be the top seed this year is Jay Albis of Johnson & Wales at 125. He wrestled a tough schedule this year that included Midlands, the National Duals, and a dual with the 7th ranked wrestler in Division II. He is currently 2nd in the DIII tech falls race with an outside shot to take the award this weekend. His only DIII loss was to Peter Del Gallo of Southern Maine way back on the second Saturday of the season.

The next highest returning finisher here is Mike Tortorice of Whitewater. He finished 3rd last season, winning five matches in a row after taking an opening round loss. He has a win over the 3rd seed Victor Gliva and was the champ at the Pete Willson Wheaton Invitational. Fourth seed Dante Ginnetti of Baldwin Wallace only wrestled 125 at the regional and was a qualifier at 133 last year, while 5th seed Cam Timok of Central dropped to 125 halfway through the year and was a 2017 All-American at 133. Ferdinand Mase is the 8th seed and finished 7th last year for Ithaca.

A pair of wrestlers are the first NCAA qualifiers for their schools. Eron Haynes gives Nebraska Wesleyan a qualifier in their third year. Samuel Braswell is one of three Averett wrestlers competing this week, but he is technically the first to have earned his spot for the second year program. Jordan Burkholder of Muskingum is the first qualifier for his school since 2008.

2019 NCAA Championships Brackets (TrackWrestling)

All Brackets in One Document

With no more wrestling before the NCAA Championships, here are the standings in the season-long awards presented by the NCAA. It is important to keep in mind that these standings only take into account matches within Division III. Falls and tech falls are self-explanatory. Most Dominant is a calculation of average team points per match with losses counted as negative (e.g., a fall is worth 6; losing by fall is -6).

James Bethel and Jake Evans met in the 285 finals last year and are in the top two spots for both Most Dominant and Most Falls. Bethel is one fall behind Evans but is much lower on time, so a tie will favor the Oneonta wrestler. Da’mani Burns of JWU is also one back and could win the award if things break his way. Stephen Maloney has a 2 tech fall lead over last year’s winner Jay Albis, and the times are close enough that Albis will likely need three more tech falls than Maloney in Roanoke to take the award again.

NCAA Championships matches will count and the final awards will be presented at the conclusion of the tournament.

Augsburg was the top ranked team after winning the National Duals over Johnson & Wales. They have dipped to #2 after a tight 16-15 loss to rival Wartburg at the end of last month. They are a strong tournament team with five returning All-Americans, seven returning qualifiers, and two NCAA champs in Ryan Epps and Lucas Jeske. Sam Bennyhoff was a national finalist as well. Along with the returning qualifiers, the Eagles feature Lance Benick who has just one DIII loss and is ranked 4th at 197.

A pair of Wisconsin powers will attempt to dethrone Augsburg this weekend. La Crosse has another typically strong team with two All-Americans, three returning qualifiers overall, and four top ten wrestlers. Whitewater features 3rd place finisher Mike Tortorice at 125, three top ten wrestlers and returning qualifier Nicholas Bonomo who will drop to 165 after spending the season at 174. Concordia Moorhead, Oshkosh, Stevens Point, and Chicago all have multiple individuals looking to punch their tickets to Roanoke. Tops among these is two-time All-American Mark Choinski of Oshkosh.

Two CCIW wrestlers will be looking for their second All-American awards. Jimmy McAuliffe is a sophomore from Elmhurst who finished 7th as a freshman last year. Carlos Fuentez came back from a medical redshirt year to make the 125 final as a #5 seed last season, and he returns to take one more shot at a national championship. He has his work cut out for him with a potential semifinal matchup with #5 Gliva before seeing #3 Tortorice in the finals. Tortorice dealt Fuentez both of his DIII losses this season.

Ithaca won this region a year ago on their way to a 3rd place NCAA finiah and is well-positioned to take home the title again. With four returning All-Americans including NCAA champion Ben Brisman, they will be a formidable opponent this weekend in Brockport. #1 ranked Jake Ashcraft is back after an abbreviated season and is looking for another podium finish while Ferdinand Mase and #6 Jake O’Brien were also wrestling on Saturday last season.

TCNJ has just one ranked wrestler in 2017 All-American Dan Kilroy, but there are five other Lions elsewhere in the rankings, and the team usually puts a strong wrestler at each of the ten weights. RIT is a little more top heavy with Winters, King, and Calkins all in the top ten. Winters and Calkins both qualified last season but failed to place.

Brett Kaliner of Stevens and James Bethel of Oneonta were both NCAA runners-up last year who are hoping to take one more step up the podium. Kaliner is up a weight and has taken a few DIII losses, while Bethel is 37-1 with his only loss to the #2 wrestler in Division II. Eyes will be on Troy Stanich of Stevens. Stanich entered the last two postseasons undefeated before finishing 3rd each year. This year, he is up to 141 and his only loss is to a DI wrestler at the Princeton Open. Is this the year he breaks through for his first title?
