Rochester, Minn. - The 2003 National Junior College Wrestling Championships are underway in Rochester, Minn.

Leading the Division III team race is top-ranked Nassau with 58, with Harper trailing at 47.5, and Ridgewater with 22. Host team Rochester holds the No. 4 position with 16.5.    The first day of grappling found very few upsets, and in most cases, left many of the top ranked wrestlers still in the mix heading into the semifinal round.

No. 1 ranked and 2002 runner up Nick Vogt (Meramec) will face No. 3 Josh Collins (Lincoln), while No. 2 Brett Allgood (Iowa Central)  will see Hector Mendez (Neosho).
