UIndy Wrestling Set to Compete at NCAA Super Regional IV

INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy Wrestling team will be competing in this years' NCAA DII Super Regional IV hosted by Central Oklahoma in Edmond, OK.  

The lineup of 11 teams this year consists of three ranked inside the top-25 including; No. 2 Central Oklahoma, No. 10 McKendree and No. 13 Central Missouri. The rest of the field along with the Greyhounds includes; Newman, Maryville, Quincy and Thomas More who all received top-25 points, and Drury, Kentucky Wesleyan and Ouachita Baptist rounding out the 11 team field.   

The Greyhounds have faced off against six of this year's 11 teams in the Super Region IV, holding a 5-3 dual record in eight meetings against those teams. 

UIndy arrives to the event with a strong 10-man lineup that consists of seven 2025-26 All-GLVC honorees, as well as the GLVC Freshman of the Year, Ethan Farnell, in the 197 weight class. 

The Greyhounds bring a handful of Super Regional experience to this year's event, with the likes of Nathan Smith (125), Aidan Sprague (133), Shane Bates (174), Christian Chavez (184) and Cale Gray (285) are all making return trips to the NCAA DII Super Regional. Chavez is the only Greyhound to have not competed in the Super Region IV, as he competed in the Super Region III at West Liberty.

Along with those five, the Greyhounds bring five first timers to Edmond, OK, that are not short of experience. Zach Haughton (141), Gavin Garcia (149), and Ethan Farnell were all recognized on the 2025-26 All-GLVC honoree list. Freshman Michael Ortega (157) makes his debut appearance in his first year with the program, while the brother of Ethan Farnell, Logan Farnell (165), appears in this year's event for the first time in his three-year Greyhound career.

The Hounds will get things underway at the University of Central Oklahoma on Sunday at 10 a.m. ET on March 1.
