LET'S REVIEW
With a 5-1 WHAC record, the Warriors enter the tournament with the best conference finish in program history. At home, the Warriors earned key victories against #RV Lourdes and #RV Marian while achieving road wins at #RV Cornerstone, #RV Siena Heights, and Cleary.
Rochester has received votes in every iteration of the NAIA Men's Wrestling Coaches' Top 20.
Rochester will look to send multiple wrestlers to the NAIA National Tournament for the first time in the program's history. Last season, current senior Kyle Scott punched his ticket for the second time in his career, marking the first time a Warrior has qualified more than once for the event. Scott will look to three-peat this time around.
Five Warriors - Scott, Nathan Young, Rico Brown, Julius Polk, and Jackson Schenk - are in the top three for total season wins amongst the WHAC in their respective weight classes.
In his second season, Polk will aim to build off his robust WHAC Tournament debut in 2023, where he placed third. Polk was one of three wrestlers who placed third in the tournament (Scott, Anthony Gonzales).
