Colleges have shifted into the second semester academically and the wrestling season is starting to heat up.
The Big Ten conference season started this weekend with #5 Michigan knocking off Michigan State and Maryland handily to open the conference slate.
Central Michigan hosted the Chippewa Challenge featuring three other schools coached by former Chippewa wrestlers - American (Jason Borelli), Campbell (Scotti Sentes & Wynn Michalak), and Cal State Bakersfield (Luke Smith).
In addition, virtually every D1 program was in action with duals this weekend.
Read below to see the Michiganders who competed and the latest rankings to see where Michigan wrestlers stack up.
