NIU will host some of the top wrestling programs in the Midwest and some of the best wrestlers in the nation over the weekend when the MAC Championships come to the Convocation Center on March 5-6. NIU wrestlers believe this event being in DeKalb helps their NCAA chances, so there is no reason for NIU students and the local fan base not to attend one of the biggest wrestling events NIU has ever held.
With most wrestlers having family and friends at the event, NIU wrestlers are hoping the local community will flock to see them represent their school for the chance to win the MAC title. Junior Brad Dieckhaus described the hometown advantage as a huge asset if the community can attend and get involved.
Action will be nonstop through the weekend, starting with the preliminary matches at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday March 5th, and ending with the award ceremony set to take place at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 6th. For more info. visit their website.
