| Ty McGeary West Liberty |
The story of Ty McGeary is one that every wrestler who has ever doubted him or herself should here. During his high school days, McGeary made the high school state tournament twice & only placed once. Hard to believe, considering the phenomenal collegiate career he had wrestling in NCAA Division II. A three-time NCAA D2 finalist, McGeary won the NCAA D2 title the past two seasons. He was 3rd-1st-1st-1st at Super Region III.
The Bear had an outstanding career full of many credentials and accomplishments. 4th-2nd-3rd in the D2 nation, Matt Weinberg was 2nd-1st-1st at the Super Region I & 6th & 1st at the Midwest Classic.
It's uncanny how ironic wrestling can be. Coming into '24-'25, I easily named Cade Mueller as one of the best yet to All American at 184 lbs. Low & behold in order to achieve that goal, he had to defeat someone who had been an All American thrice in his career. Mueller was 1st-3rd-2nd-1st at Super Region V.

| Jacori Deal Nebraska Kearney |
Like brother Jacobi, Jacori Deal came to Nebraska-Kearney after a standout career at Fort Hays Tech Northwest where he won an NJCAA title. In his final season for the Lopers, Deal earned a runner-up finish at Super Region VI & an 8th place finish in the D2 nation.
I've said it many times in my 23 years of covering collegiate wrestling. This sport can rip the heart straight out of your chest. Yet in looking over someone's career, it's important to see it as a journey & not a destination. 8th-7th-4th in the D2 nation in his first three seasons, Worachek came up a match short of his fourth All American honor. With that said, what Worachek did achieve this year, was the rare distinction of becoming a four-time Midwest Classic place-winner with finishes of 6th-7th-4th-2nd. He was also a four-time Super Region V finalist with finishes of 2nd-1st-1st-2nd.
A two-time NCAA DII qualifier for the Huskies, Bryce Fitzpatrick took an 8th place finish at the D2 national tournament last year as a junior. He was 5th-3rd-3rd at Super Region V.
In his final season with the Fighting Falcons, Austin Gibson qualified for the NCAA DII championships with a 3rd place showing at Super Region I.
We could very well be looking a future Detective Bynarowicz of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. During his collegiate wrestling career, Jason Bynarowicz saw NCAA DII qualification finishing 4th-3rd-6th at Super Region VI.
Most of the time in wrestling if you see you have a Bye, that's a good thing. Not the case with Colter. The Peacock was an NCAA DII qualifier during his career, with 2nd-4th-6th place showings at Super Region V.
During his career with the Braves, Shylike Scriven placed 5th at the Super Region II on three occasions.
