Season outlook:
Trine took three to the NCAA Championships last season, and Elias Larson ended his career as a three-time All-American. Ryan Pieper qualified at 174 but has also graduated, leaving Brandon Preston as the only returning qualifier on what promises to be a young team. Preston moves up to 133 for his junior year and will be looking to repeat as a Midwest Regional champion in 2014. Outside of upperclassmen like Preston and Mack Green (moving to 285 this year), the team will feature as many as seven freshman and sophomores in the lineup as Trine enters their tenth year of varsity competition.

What about incoming freshman Tyler Prater wrestling at 285 who placed 6th at the Michigan State Finals last year??
