Centerville, IA – The Indian Hills Wrestling programs opened up the new year in the national rankings as the Warriors set their sights on a run to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Tournament in Council Bluffs, IA in March.
The latest NJCAA Men's Wrestling rankings, announced January 9, saw the Warriors check in at No. 14 in the team rankings, the third-highest ranked team from the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) behind No. 3 Iowa Western Community College and No. 8 Iowa Central Community College.
The latest men's individual NJCAA rankings placed six Warriors in the top-10 of their respective weight class, led by sophomore Arojae Hart (Murphysboro, IL/Murphysboro) at No. 6 in the 133lb class.
In this week's The Open Mat NJCAA Women's Wrestling rankings, the Indian Hills Women's Wrestling squad regained the No. 1 in the Team Tournament and Team Dual rankings after its previous spot at No. 2. The Warriors have used a series of dominant dual victories over the last month over nationally ranked opponents to take the top spot.
The Open Mat rankings placed three Indian Hills individuals at No. 1 in their respective weight class – No. 1 Yaracely Saenz (Bernalillo, NM/Bernalillo) at 170lbs, Tiffany White (Oak Park, IL/Oak Park & River Forest) at 191lbs, and Eliana Bommarito (Brighton, MI/Hartland) at 235lbs. In total, the Warriors placed 17 individuals in this week's The Open Mat poll.
The Indian Hills Men's Wrestling team returns to action January 13 at the Spartan Invite in St. Louis, MO while the women head to the York Open in York, NE on January 13.
