By Matt Krumrie
Roger Kish enters his 12th season as head coach of the North Dakota State University wrestling program excited for the challenge ahead. The Bison return a strong core lineup that includes four returning national qualifiers and four returning starters.
“This is probably the most complete team that we have put on the mat since the 2019-20 season,” said Kish. “We have several key upperclassmen that we expect strong seasons from, as well as a lot of talent from our last two recruiting classes.”
Returning national qualifiers include Dylan Droegemueller (141), Jared Franek (157), Owen Pentz (197), and Brandon Metz (285).
