The Lakers, who are back on the mat after a 32-year hiatus from varsity wrestling competition, have turned in a solid opening six weeks of competition. GVSU is 5-1 in dual meet wrestling, while also recording solid performances at the Muskegon Open, Michigan State Open and Findlay Open.

Sophomore Josh Kenny (10-2) is ranked 10th nationally and seeded fifth at 174, followed sophomore Wyatt Miller (11-0) who is the number eight seed at 197.

Freshmen Collin Twigg (11-4) and Jak Keller (7-8) will compete at 133 and 141, while junior Caden Jacobs (7-8) will compete at 157. Freshman Trammel Robinson (18-5) has been impressive as a true freshman and will look to turn some heads at 165. Senior Seth Konynenbelt (11-6) will compete at 184 and freshman Owen Hawley (13-5) will wrestle at heavyweight.
