University of Wisconsin wrestlers Isaac Jordan and Connor Medbery will get a taste of some quality competition before their teammates open up the season on November 11.<\/p>\n
That’s because the duo was invited to take part in the National Wrestling Coaches’ Association All-Star Classic in Cleveland, Ohio November 5.\u00a0The event features two of the nation’s top wrestlers in each of the 10 weight classes.<\/p>\n
Jordan, a national runner-up at 165 pounds a season ago, will take on Daniel Lewis of Missouri in the 165-pound bout.<\/p>\n
Lewis, a redshirt sophomore was Midwest Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year a season ago, claiming the MAC title at 165 and achieving All-American status with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Tournament. Jordan and Lewis have never faced one another.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Medbery, fresh off an Olympic redshirt season, will go toe-to-toe with Virginia Tech’s Ty Walz in the heavyweight match. Walz is a three-time NCAA qualifier and two-time All-American. He placed fourth at the NCAA Tournament in 2016.<\/p>\n
This year marks just the fourth time ever, and the first since 1980, that a pair of Badgers wrestlers were selected for the event. In total, 22 UW grapplers have participated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
