Joel Sharratt is looking to transform Navy into a consistent Top 15 wrestling program. Midway through his third season as head coach, Sharratt believes the Midshipmen are well on the way to reaching that goal.
Navy wrestling will find out exactly where it stands in the national heirarchy when it hosts ninth-ranked Lehigh on Friday at Alumni Hall. The Mountain Hawks, led by head coach Pat Santoro, are a perennial powerhouse with a loaded lineup.
Lehigh has wrestlers ranked in the Top 20 by InterMat at eight of 10 weight classes. The Mountain Hawks are 5-1 against a difficult dual meet schedule with the lone loss coming against second-ranked Penn State.
