    Northwestern heads to Reno Tournament of Champions

    EVANSTON, Ill. -- Following a full week of rest, the ninth-ranked Wildcats will head west for the Reno Tournament of Champions. Competition in the full-day tournament begins Wednesday at the Reno Downtown Convention Center. This year's field features grapplers from several top programs including No. 4 Oklahoma State and No. 10 Central Michigan.

    "The event allows us to evaluate the progress of certain individuals on the team," head coach Tim Cysewski said. "We use Reno as a measuring stick and it is a great segue into the Midlands Championships."

    Featured Wildcat entries include third-ranked heavyweight Dustin Fox (Galion, Ohio/Galion) and 11th-ranked Mike Tamillow (Oak Park, Ill./Fenwick) at 197 lbs. They will be joined by freshman Brandon Precin (Orland Park, Ill./Carl Sandburg), ranked 17th by W.I.N. Magazine at 125 lbs., and junior Nick Hayes (Council Bluffs, Iowa/Lewis Central), ranked 19th at 174 lbs. by W.I.N. Hayes and Precin went 2-0 in the 'Cats' last dual matches against Northern Illinois and Eastern Illinois with Hayes downing EIU's 12th-ranked Kenny Robertson.

    Eric Metzler (Luxemburg, Wis./Luxemburg-Casco), James Kohlberg (Rolling Meadows, Ill./Rolling Meadows), Marty Gould (Lincolnwood, Ill./Niles West), Vincent Colletti (Naperville, Ill./Montini Catholic), Dominic Marella (Roselle, Ill./Conant), Jim Friend (Libertyville, Ill./Libertyville), Greg Hagel (Linwood, N.J./Blair Academy) and Carl Howe (Three Rivers, Mich./Three Rivers) will round out Northwestern's entires.


    Wednesday's college tournament is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. CT and end at approximately 9:30 p.m. For a complete schedule and a list of teams competing, visit the Reno Tournament of Champions Website.
