Trice is the first Chippewa to compete at the event since 2005, and he is the fourth different CMU wrestler to appear at the event.
Trice, who is currently in Italy preparing for the World University Championships this weekend, earned All-America honors with an eighth-place finish at the 2010 NCAA Championships. He is the 2010 Midlands heavyweight champion, a two-time national qualifier and boasts a career record of 50-17.
Gelogaev is moving up to heavyweight after earning All-America honors at 197 pounds last season. The junior from Moscow, Russia was 30-9 overall last season. He won the 197-pound title at the Reno Tournament of Champions and placed seventh at the NCAA Championships.
Trice (No. 2) and Gelogaev (No. 4) enter the season ranked in the top four nationally at heavyweight by both Amateur Wrestling News and W.I.N. Magazine.
