Talk about domination. The Yellow Jackets put 9 of 10 into the North Plains District finals & 7 of those 9 walked away as champions. Sending all 10 to the NJCAA championships, Rochester Tech returns 6 of their varsity starters from last season. I do know that Leo Tukhlynovych will be competing for Arizona State this season.

| Bismarck State |
Bismarck State reinstated its wrestling program & after a very short time back in the NJCAA, the Mystics will be moving up to the NAIA division. What does this mean for those returning to the program? I don't know. Anxious to see if everyone remains at Bismarck State or if last year's freshmen find other NJCAA schools to continue competing at.
The Mystics sent four to the NJCAA championships last year.
Dillon Spaulding (157) & Dale Spillman (184) both made the North Plains District finals, as Isaiah Horan (197) took 3rd. Both Spillman & Horan finished one match shy of NJCAA All-American honors. Brendan W Kelly was another qualifier.
