The Rochester Community and Technical College Yellowjackets competed in the NWCA National Duals this past weekend in Des Moines, IA. The Jackets went 3-2 to capture 7th place in the NJCAA Division.
Rochester started the event with a loss to IA Central, and then rebounded with a pair of wins over two top ten-ranked NJCAA schools – Lincoln and Nassau. During the second day of the event the Yellowjackets lost to North Iowa Area Community College before finishing in 7th place with a win over Iowa Western Community College.
Leading Rochester with 5-0 records were Dakota Trom and Garret Miller. “Dakota and Garret looked very good at this event. Both of them had no issues going up a weight class to pick up wins for the team,” said Coach Rager. Trom not only had five wins, but three were by fall.
By watching Miller this past weekend, you would never know that he has been out with an injury and removed his own cast to compete in this competition. Miller wrestled 174 and 184 depending on where the team needed a win. He also picked up three falls in his five matches.
