Big Ten Wrestling Championships Preview, The Lightweights

For the first time ever, No. 16 Rutgers Wrestling will enter the Big Ten Conference tournament with all three of their lightweights (125-141lbs) ranked nationally.

The group, which features two freshman and a graduate student, has been a catalyst for the Scarlet Knights throughout the season and they look to do the same this Saturday and Sunday in Lincoln, Nebraska.

All three wrestlers earned seeds that put them within the automatic qualification window to get to nationals if they wrestle to their anticipated placings this weekend.
