The season's first NAIA wrestling coaches poll is out. This is the first poll or ranking of the year for collegiate wrestling.
There are four different regions that are polled. The Central Group, North Group, East group, and West group where the University of Great Falls is in. The West Group has seven colleges within it's region.
There are two colleges from Montana, one from Oregon, one from Arizona, and three from California. The west region is considered to be one of the toughest. The University of Great Falls took third place at the national wrestling tournament in the 09-10 season.
The team that took second by a point and a half ahead of the Argos is also in the west region. They are Southern Oregon University located in Ashland, Oregon.
The University of Great Falls is leading the west group with a 169.5 points. MSU Northern is in second place following the Argos with 147.5 points.
These early polls tend to change in the second semester of the season as some student's are no longer eligible due to grades, or athletes being injured.
The Argos will make their first trip this weekend to Spokane Washington where they will wrestle their second inter-squad dual of the season. This makes it easier for families to come and watch their son compete at a more central location.
