Out of the New England College Conference, 12 wrestlers moved on to the national meet. Springfield College took the team title by a margin of 136.5-116.5 over second place Johnson & Wales College. The top wrestler in each weight class automatically qualifies for the national meet in addition to two wild card selections.

The other conferences that have already competed their tournaments include the MAC Championships which will send 12 qualifiers, the Great Lakes Regional which qualified 13 competitors, the Empire Conference Championships and the Metro Championships which qualified 15 participants each.     There are only three conferences left to battle for a place at nationals. These tournaments include the Midwest Regionals, the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships and the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. They will send 13, 10 and 14 qualifiers respectively to nationals.    The Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) will be hosted by Ohio Northern on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 10:00 a.m. in the ONU Sports Center in Ada. The Midwest Regionals will be held on Saturday, Feb. 23, at Rose-Hulman IT and the MIAC Championships will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 26, in Northfield, Minn. At the OAC Championships, there will be seven teams competing for the conference crown and bids to the National Championships.     These teams include eighth-ranked John Carroll University, nineteenth-ranked Ohio Northern University, twenty-ninth-ranked Muskingum College, Baldwin-Wallace University, Heidelberg College, Mount Union College and Wilmington University.    Ohio Northern is the defending OAC champion by a slim margin of 3.5 points over John Carroll. Look for John Carroll to make a run at the team title putting the pressure on Ohio Northern.  John Carroll was undefeated in conference dual-meet action this year going 6-0.    The OAC will qualify 12 men for the NCAA Championships this year. The winner of every weight class will automatically move on along with two other wild cards. Seven OAC individual champions from the 10 weight classes return to the mat this year to defend their 2001 titles and six runner ups will look to upset those plans.    In the 125-pound weight class both Joe Metcalf (Parma, Ohio/Mount Union) and Jose Smith (Cambridge, Ohio/Muskingham) will be returning to the OAC Championships to battle for a place at nationals.  Metcalf is the defending OAC champion with a mark of 10-2 on the season and Smith who was the runner up.    At 149 pounds, Mike Markovic (Brecksville, Ohio/John Carroll) is currently ranked seventh in the nation and the defending champion from the 2001 OAC Championships.  He was undefeated in dual action this season with a 29-7 record.    The 157 pound division is expected to feature the champion and runner-up from last years meet. Top-ranked Jimmy Wallace (Germantown, Ohio/Wilmington) is the defending champion boasting an impressive 25-0 record going into the tournament. Drew Zollars (Canton, Ohio/Mount Union) seems to be the big obstacle for Wallace to overcome again this year and has a 16-6 mark of his own for the season.    A solid match up at 165 pounds could come if the defending champion Dan Anderson (Chardon, Ohio/Mount Union) faces off with last year's runner up, Dan Kull (Perrysburg, Ohio/John Carroll). Anderson has an outstanding 12-4 record while Kull will bring in an 18-8 record.    Ohio Northern has dominated the 184-pound weight class with both the champion and runner up from last year on this year's squad. Jeremy Kosch (Oakwood, Ohio/Ohio Northern) is the
