GLENVILLE, W.Va. – Glenville State Wrestling will be heading to the NCAA DII Super Region 3 Championships at the University of Findlay tomorrow (Feb. 28) as the Pioneers will be looking to capture a second-consecutive title and qualify individuals for nationals.
 
Sixth-year head coach Dylan Cottrell and the 11^th ranked Pioneers have dealt with the injury bug all season long, much like many wrestling programs do, and have constructed their best lineup to defend the program's first-ever regional championship.
 
Colton Drousias gets the nod at 125, holding a (14-4) record and No. 8 national ranking. Zachary Parker, who has wrestled his way into the lineup as the season progressed, enters the weekend (12-9) overall. 141 pounds fifth-ranked wrestler Ethan Hardy spent a portion of the season as the nation's #1 grappler, is (21-2) this season after redshirting a year ago. Gabe Onorato recently re-joined the lineup after a mid-season injury and is (20-3, No. 5 nationally) this season. True freshman Jimmie Bailes has been what the Pioneers needed and more out of the youngster, boasting a (20-6) record in his first collegiate season.
 
The lineup flips to recent addition Leo Hess III, who joined the action mid-year and is (2-0) through a limited amount of action at 165. Drexel transfer Roman Onorato has wrestled at a pair of weight classes, and will be the 174-pound grappler for the Pioneers, showcasing a (9-5) overall record. Mid-year addition Ethan Lopez has been a sparkplug for Coach Cottrell, logging a (6-2) record at 184 pounds. Nick Johnson has lost just once this season (18-1) and is No. 2 in the country at 197 while Colby Whitehill is (18-3) and ranked 8^th at heavyweight heading into the weekend.
 
The action starts at 10 a.m. and will be streaming on FloSports ($) inside Robert A. Malcolm Athletic Center.
