While Michigans basketball team struggles to make an NIT bid and Michigans hockey team is busy giving up 30 shots on goal per game, Michigans wrestling team is playing lights out.
The #1 player in his weight class, Kellen Russell, is riding a 28 match win streak and Michigan has been beating everyone placed in front of them.
This year, several Wolverines are expected to compete for Big Ten championships. But with eight of nine starters returning next year, the future of Michigan wrestling looks bright.
“You realize they’re only going to get better and you can continue to build and develop off that,” McFarland said. “I think we’ve got good chemistry on the team. I like their commitment, their work ethic and everything that comes with it. And it makes it a lot of fun. These guys are in the room everyday, working their tails off and they’re getting better week to week. It’s very rewarding as a coach to see that.”
