JT1Wrestle Takes A Look At Marian 2026-2027

 



What a great season it was for the Knights of Marian last year.  11 NAIA national qualifiers, two All-Americans & a national finalists.  We say goodbye to 5, as we look forward to more achievements out of the 6 with remaining eligibility. 

What a career it was for Anthony Hughes.  A two-time NAIA All-American with finishes of 4th & 6th, he ended his career a Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) champion & 3rd at the Missouri Valley Invitational. 

I honestly thought that Logan Wagner would end up a four-time All-American & win an NAIA national title before his career was all said & done.  I was so happy to see him finally break through & win that quarterfinal match that secured his All-American status.  Even happier to see him win in the semi-finals & wrestle in the finals.  A three-time WHAC champ, he was also 3rd at the Missouri Valley Invitational. 

Jeff Dunasky, 2nd at the WHAC & 6th at the Missouri Valley Invitational.

Jevian Ross ended one match shy of being an NAIA All-American, 3rd at the WHAC. 

Noah Hollendonner, a WHAC champ. 

Returning for the Knights....
