juco wrestling at its finest - 12/28/02 12:42 AM
On January 10th and 11th Colby Community College will host its annual Tournament of Champions. Historically this has been one of the most competitive regular season junior college wrestling tournaments in the nation.
Names like T.J. Williams, Dana Holland, Tony Davis, Reggie Wright, Eugene Harris, Ramico Blackmon and Daniel Cormier have all graced the wall brackets at the TOC in past years. And you can bet that many of this year's names will one day find their way on to the podium at the NCAAs too.
The 12 teams expected to compete in this year's event accounted for 49% of last year's NJCAA All-Americans. Of those 12 teams, 7 are ranked in the top 10 of the NJCAA Division I poll and another is ranked 2nd in NJCAA Division III. Together those same 12 teams currently account for 55% of the individuals ranked in the NJCAA poll that was released on 12/16/02.
And if you want to make a weekend of it. The host school, currently ranked #1 in the nation, will take on #3 ranked Neosho County Community College in a dual on January 12th at 3:00 pm. Neosho currently has 5 individuals ranked in the polls and Colby has 7 ranked - with 5 of those individuals being ranked 1st in their respective weight class.
January 10th - 12th will be a great weekend of wrestling action in Colby and we'd love to have you in attendance.
Let me know if you'd like additional information.
