After a productive weekend at the University of Nebraska-Kearney Holiday Inn Open, MSU Moorhead 174 Adam Blees has broken into the NCAA Division II Coaches Association rankings. Blees, a two-time North Dakota state champion from Bismarck, jumped from unranked all the way to seventh with wins over Bruno Niccoletti (Colorado Mesa) and Miguel Barreras (Central Oklahoma).
Blees is currently the only NSIC wrestler ranked in the top 12 at 174 pounds. He and the rest of the Dragons will be on the mat at home this weekend as MSUM will play host to the Dragon Open.
