2023 NCAA Division III The Season: SUNY Cortland

 


Looks to be a pretty competitive season for the Red Dragons this season as two of their four NCAA Division III qualifiers return with a potential to once again crown four qualifiers this year. Gone is two time qualifier Demitreus Henry who took 8th place in the nation as well as qualifier Brian Torres. 

125 lbs
Cody Merwin 

For good reason Cody Merwin was crowned rookie of the year last season for the Dragons. The sophomore put together a 23-7 record coming within one match shy of qualifying for the NCAA Division III championships in his first try when he finished 4th at the Mideast Regional. 

133 lbs
J.C. Cardenas 


Winning a Mideast Regional Title last season on a 17-5 record, Jayden Cardenas will look to win another championship this year. 

141 lbs 
Ryan Burgbacher

Another Red Dragon that came within a match of NCAA Division III qualification last season was Ryan Burgbacher who finished the year on an 11-5 record. 

149 lbs
Chandler Merwin 

Two time NCAA Division III qualifier Chandler Merwin has twice made the Mideast Regional finals finishing as the runner-up in 2020 and as the champion this past season. With tough backup Kyle Klien pushing him in the room, he will look to have another outstanding season after having gone 30-7 last year.
