With his wins this weekend, Colin improved his record to 21-4 on the season. 

 "Colin wrestled a great tournament and has been progressing each match that he competes," said Head Men's Wrestling Coach Mike Machholz.   "Conditioning was the main factor in a couple of his losses earlier in the semester against Division I opponents but we are getting that where we want it.  He has dominated all of the NAIA opponents and is focused toward winning the National Title."
