WIN Magazine Ranks 2012 Recruiting Class in Top 10  

Second top 10 recruiting class in last three seasons for Northwestern

   

EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern has pulled in another top 10 recruiting class according to WIN Magazine. The wrestling publication recently released its annual recruiting rankings and the group of five new Wildcats is slated as the 10th best class in the country.

Additionally, WIN ranks three NU recruits in the top 10 for their respective weight classes including Jason Tsirtsis (No. 1 at 145), Dominick Malone (No. 6 at 126) and Garrison White (No. 8 at 120).

Here’s what WIN Magazine has to say about Drew Pariano’s second recruiting class as Northwestern’s head coach:

“Coach Drew Pariano scored his best class yet, built on three lower-weight cornerstones: National Prep champion Dominic Malone (125) of Kingston (Pa.) Wyoming Seminary, two-time North Carolina champion Garrison White (125-133) of Concord Jay M. Robinson High and arguably the nation’s top recruit, three-time Indiana champion Jason Tsirtsis (141-149) of Crown Point High. Ben Sullivan (165) of Apple Valley (Minn.) High is a former Alaska champion.”

This is Northwestern’s second top 10 class in the last three seasons as the 2010 class earned a No. 2 ranking by WIN Magazine and InterMat.

The Wildcats return to the mat Sunday, Dec. 11, hosting its first two true home duals at Welsh-Ryan Arena with the NU Duals. NU takes on SIU-Edwardsville at 3 p.m. and hosts Indianapolis at 5 p.m.

Northwestern fans have plenty of chances to see the Wildcats in action during the month of December and early January. Following the NU Duals, Northwestern hosts North Central College at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16 and then the 49th annual Ken Kraft Midlands Championships Dec. 29-30. NU then turns its attention to the Big Ten season, hosting Michigan in the conference opener at 7 p.m. on Jan. 6.
