For those who do not visit themat.com forum or kansaskrusaders.com I thought I would post these results for you. There are no Kansas wrestlers on the results but they are interesting to see and show the increasing size of college wrestling for females.
College Nationals were this past weekend with some awesome competition from all around the United States and Simon Fraser University(our neighbor to the north). OCU won the tournament with an impressive showing and 8 finalists.
