WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Six Purdue wrestlers have earned a pre-seed for the Big Ten Championships. The two-day tournament will take place at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington on Saturday and Sunday.
The highest pre-seeded awarded was No. 7 to Jacob Morrissey. The 174-pounder owns a 6-3 record against the probable competitors. Luke Welch and Christian Brunner were tabbed at No. 8 at 133 and 197 pounds, respectively.
Five weight classes have all 14 competitors seeded due to the fact the Big Ten received nine or more NCAA Championships qualifier allocation slots. These weight classes include 133, 141, 157, 174 and 184.
Half of Purdue's wrestlers with a pre-seed are in a weight class that is seeded 1-14. Alex Griffin is No. 10 at 157 pounds, Tanner Lynde at No. 11 at 184 and Kyle Ayersman is No. 12 at 141.
Brackets for the Big Ten Championships are scheduled to be released Friday.
