2023 NCAA Division II The Season: Adams State

 


21'-22', what an outstanding year it was for Grizzlies wrestling. Three NCAA DII qualifiers & all three of them go undefeated in route to winning NCAA DII titles! I mean who does that!?!?! It'll forever go down as one of the greatest moments not only in Adams State history but in DII wrestling period.  To think, two of those champions are back!  Noah Hermosillo, who also earned All American status with a 6th place finish in 2021 has since graduated.
