    2025 NCAA DI National Championships Preview (197 lbs)

    The 2025 NCAA DI Wrestling Championships are less than a week away! In a few short days, 330 wrestlers will make the trek to Philadelphia, with hopes of a national title on their minds. Now it's in a city that hasn't hosted nationals since 2011, but it’s within driving distance of some of the top wrestling areas in the country. The atmosphere for the national tournament is always great, but I expect these East Coast fans to bring a little extra to the Wells Fargo Center. 

    Before the action on the mat starts, InterMat will go through each individual bracket and highlight the favorites, top matches to watch, and much more.

    A Big Ten finals win for Jacob Cardenas gives him the top seed at the NCAA Championships for the first time. Cardenas was a two-time All-American for Cornell but was unable to use his final year of eligibility with the Big Red due to Ivy League rules.
