The NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships are set for Friday and Saturday in Birmingham, Alabama.
St. Cloud State has won the last two NCAA Championships and has been ranked No. 1 all season. Head coach Steve Costanzo’s squad packs a powerful and experienced punch led by national champion 125-pounder Brent Velasquez and three-time All-American Austin Goergen at heavyweight. SCSU was bridesmaids in 2011, 2012 and 2013 but got over the hump two seasons ago in St. Louis.
If SCSU and Notre Dame College of Ohio wrestle as well as they are capable, they will separate from the field and go toe-to-toe for the 2017 trophy.
