Four Earn All-American Honors at NCAA Wrestling Champs
Posted: Mar 10, 2023

ROANOKE, Va. --- Four wrestlers remain in action from the ODAC's original contingent of 11 competitors and have secured All-American honors following the first day of competition at the NCAA Division III Men's Wrestling Championships. Competition resumes at the Berglund Center in Roanoke on Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. ET.

Averett University's Mason Barrett at 125 pounds is joined by Greensboro College's Josh Wilson at 141 pounds, Ryan Luth from Washington and Lee University at 157 pounds, and Mahlic Sallah from Roanoke College at 184 pounds as the remaining active wrestlers from conference schools. Each competitor finished day one with a victory, but they came in the consolation second round after losing in the quarterfinals section of the championship bracket. Still, those victories were important as they assured All-America distinction for each of them.

Third place remains an option for all, with additional placement matches for fifth and seventh positions. All that will be known by tomorrow afternoon with placement matches closing Saturday's early session before the championship finals are showcased on Saturday night.
