[NU Sports] Northwestern cracks top 10!!!!

[Brad Wilson]

 ... at the NCAA wrestling championships in St. Louis, where I am matside for my paper.

NU with 41.5 points is 9th! 5 Big Ten rivals are ahead of NU -- PSU, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio State and (yuck) Illinois (along with Cornell, Oklahoma State and Lehigh). NU leads such longtime powers such as Oklahoma, Iowa State and Missouri.

NU will have 2 All-Americans, Jason Welch at 157 and Mike McMullan at 285, both wrestling for third.

Great job mat 'Cats!!!! Who needs hoops!!!

"But to provoke -- in the good sense -- is the performer's role. It's not just to give one more concert. That's not culture. That"s marketing." -- Pierre Boulez
