Sacquitne wrestled one of his better matches of the season against Ohio State's Robert Sessley, who is seeded fourth. Brad Harper will wrestle at 149, unseeded, but has finished his rookie season in the Big Ten at 3-3. He has a record of 16-8 with three pinfalls. Clovis Crane is the eighth seed at 157 with a record of 14-7. Not nationally-ranked, Crane surprised many this year as he battled his way into the starting lineup to earn his spot at the Big Ten Championships.
Crane is third on the team with five pinfalls.
Kirk Moore , one of four returning national qualifiers on this year's team, looks to return to the NCAA Championships once again. Moore placed seventh at the Big Ten Championships last season. He has a 12-9 record this season, and is ranked 15th. He finished his Big Ten season with a 2-6 record, with two of those losses coming by one point. Despite the 2-6 mark, he is still a threat to qualify for Nationals because of his ability to keep matches close.
