The Huskers finished 2008-09 with a 17-3-1 record, including a share of the Big 12 title and their second straight fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. Nebraska returns a pair of All-Americans from last year’s squad, including 157-pound national champion Jordan Burroughs and 197-pound NCAA runner-up Craig Brester. The Huskers also welcome back 2008 All-American Stephen Dwyer at 174 pounds and 2009 NCAA qualifier Tucker Lane at Heavywight.
Behind its four returning national qualifiers, Nebraska is ranked No. 7 in InterMat’s preseason top 25 poll. Eight opponents on the 2009-10 schedule are also in the rankings.
Fans will be able to pick up free posters and schedule cards at the wrestle-offs. This year’s poster features a taste of the 2009 NCAA Championships, an event co-hosted by the University of Nebraska at Qwest Center Omaha from March 18-20.
The 2009-10 Nebraska wrestling media and recruiting guide will be available for free online this Friday. It can also be purchased for $5 at the Huskers’ first regular season dual on Sunday, Nov. 15, when NU hosts the Wisconsin Badgers at the NU Coliseum at 1 p.m.
