WICHITA, Kan. – In the first year as a program, Head Coach Chris Williamson and the Golden Eagles are excited to send two athletes to the NAIA National Championships in Wichita, Kansas, as Trevor Marsman (125lbs) and Thade Radosa will compete in the double-elimination invitational. Action will begin on March 4 and the semifinal/finals will be wrestled on March 5. To view the event, please visit the link HERE to see live video and statistics links. 
 
Trevor Marsman (125lbs)
The freshman Trevor Marsman has had the most successful showing in the first year of any athlete in the Cornerstone men's wrestling program posting a 29-7 overall record. He will have a tough opponent in his first match taking on Brandon Orum from Life University out of Georgia. Life ranks second in the country as a team and Orum is second individually in the 125lbs weight class with a 21-2 record. 
 
Thade Radosa (157lbs) 
Freshman Thade Radosa also qualified for NAIA Nationals earning the final wild card spot out of the WHAC after the WHAC Tournament Championships two weekends ago. He is 11-11 overall and will take on a more favorable opponent in Gabe Blough from St. Mary's out of the KCAC. Blough, the senior, is 11-8 so far this season but is not ranked in the top 20 in his weight class. 

All matches at the national championships will be stream live via FloWrestling. Access to the live results and brackets can be found through TrackWrestling. Additionally, the championship session on Saturday will also be distributed on ESPN3 (www.watchespn.com).

Brackets were verified and approved by the NAIA-Wrestling Coaches Association Bracketing Committee Friday afternoon. Previously, the 18-member committee consisting of conference raters and oversight members met to select the remaining at-large qualifiers. Next, the 18-member committee along with three new oversight members determined the ranking order of each weight class. This was used as the basis for the Bracketing Committee and later verified. 

Each conference tournament was awarded automatic bids per weight class based on the final regular-season poll, which can be seen HERE. Each conference was awarded automatic berths based on the amount of wrestlers ranked in each weight class. Each conference was awarded a minimum of one automatic bid per weight class, which will go to the tournament champions, even if the conference did not have any wrestlers ranked in the final regular-season poll.
