Dynamic Duo
Evan Barczak and Mickey O'Malley will be representing Drexel in their respective weight classes at the 2022 NCAA Championships this weekend. This will be Barczak's second appearance on the national stage at 165lbs and O'Malley's third appearance at 174lbs.
Both wrestlers competed at the 2021 Championships with O'Malley advancing to day two of competition. Barczak found a tough matchup in #3 Jake Wentzel from Pitt in his opening matchup, followed by a close sudden victory loss to EIWA rival Ricky Stamm (Hofstra).
Despite getting a loss in the opening round against #14 Hayden Hasting (Wyoming), O'Malley powered to a win over Jacob Nolan (Binghamton), advancing him to the second day of competition. He then came out strong against #20 Trent Munoz (ASU) but lost to a top-seeded #5 Logan Massa (Michigan) in a 5-1 decision to close out the weekend.
Barczak and O'Malley both enter the championships with 20+ wins under their belt. At the #30 seed, Barczak was selected to face #3 Alex Marinelli (Iowa) in the opening round and #8 O'Malley selected #25 Gerrit Nijenhuuis (Purdue), who he previously pinned in the Dragons season opening dual with the Boilermakers.
All-American Status
The Dragons have only had two NCAA All-Americans in program history including Rob Rebmann (04') and Ryan Hluschak (07').
*Any athlete who places in the top eight of his weight class earns All-American honors.
