Notre Dame, Wartburg, Grand View winners at 2014 Multi-Divisional National Duals
By Mark Palmer, College Wrestling Examiner
The top seeds were five for five at this weekend’s Mat Mayhem. In each of five divisions, the No. 1 seeds – Notre Dame College, Wartburg, Grand View, Clackamas, and King – came out on top at the 2014 NWCA Multi-Divisional National Duals Mat Mayhem at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines Sunday afternoon. The two-day event, now in its third year, features dual-meet matches between top teams in NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), Women’s, and NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association). A separate Division I “Mat Mayhem” 24-team, two-weekend, dual-meet tournament will be held at Ohio State February 16-17. Only two of last year’s team titlewinners – Wartburg, and Grand View – were able to successfully defend their 2013 National Duals championships.
