Season outlook:
With a young squad in 2011-2012, the rebuilding process is on its way at Simpson. Only one senior and two juniors are on the team, so the young guys will get the chance to shine. The IIAC is trial by fire, so Coach Manny is hoping his young charges will learn quickly and make the adjustment to college wrestling while keeping an eye on the future. Even with a young team, there are five or six returning starters who should again make the lineup looking to improve on prior year finishes.
