#6 Muskegon CC Jayhawks Finish 7th at the NWCA Multi-Divisional National Duals

The Jayhawks traveled to Fort Wayne, Ind. on Friday and Saturday, January 9 & 10 to complete in the

2015 NWCA National Duals. The Jayhawks finished in 7th place with a 3-2 record in the two-day

tournament and are now 9-2 overall.

The #6 ranked Jayhawks have complete most of the season with a line up missing a couple weights. It

was no different this weekend. The Jayhawks were short two weight classes. “It’s tough to win at this

level giving teams a 12 point lead. Our guys wrestled well and showed a lot of toughness placing 7th.”

said Head Coach James Tietema. “We plan to have all ten weights class filled at the individual NJCAA

Nationals and feel we can improve on our 7th place team finish.”

This week the Jayhawks will complete against Grand Valley State University at the Rick Stenberg

Memorial Duals at Reeths-Puffer HS on Wednesday, January 14th and Saturday, January 17th at Bartel-

Rodes Gymnasium in a Tri-Dual with Indiana Tech, Alma College, and Olivet College.
