INDIANAPOLIS – The No. 23-ranked UIndy wrestling team will wrap up their GLVC dual schedule this Sunday Feb. 15 at the GLVC Championships, hosted by McKendree in Lebanon, Ill.
The Hounds are set to take on the No. 6-seed Quincy in their opening dual, with the winner set to take on No. 7-ranked McKendree in the second round.
"We haven't been healthy all season, but we are excited for the opportunity to wrestle for a GLVC title this weekend," head coach Jason Warthan said.
The Greyhounds enter the GLVC Championships after a 2-1 weekend at the Greyhound Duals, where they took down both Kentucky Wesleyan and Montevallo in shutout victories. The Hounds have won three of their last four GLVC duals, with their only loss during that stretch coming to their potential championship round match up, Upper Iowa.
The lineup UIndy will send to the GLVC Championships, consists of four of the five NWCA preseason national poll honorees for the Hounds to start the season; Jackson Hoover (149), Trey Sizemore (174), Derek Blubaugh (197), and Cale Gray (285).
Those four have combined for 44 total wins, including six pin victories this season.
Along with those four, UIndy had another wrestler emerge to create some noise during duals for the Hounds this season, Brayden Lowery in the 141 weight class. Lowery currently sits at No. 20 in 141 in The Open Mat rankings after his two wins over the weekend at the Greyhound Duals.
Lowery and the rest of the team will look to best their 2024 GLVC Championship showing on Sunday at 10 a.m. against Quincy.
