Coach Eric Van Kley’s club won 13 duals.
The steady ascent continues for the Central wrestling squad and coach Eric Van Kley.
Last in the Iowa Conference with a roster that included five open weights five years ago, the Dutch moved up another notch to sixth in the league tourney, regarded as the nation’s toughest. And after a seven-year drought, Central sent a wrestler to the NCAA Division III tournament for the second straight year.
Junior Joseph Atwell went 1-2 at 157 pounds at the national tourney at La Crosse, Wis., March 8-9.
Meanwhile, the Dutch posted a 13-11 dual record, its highest win total in 18 seasons.
