@kjpilcher @katiepilcher34 @BraylenConlon @KristinePilcher @hawkeyebiggs @amyconlon12 I don’t think you need to apologize for anything. Family first. Congratulations for a great career — her, not you.

2018 national champion Brock Rathbun will not place at Lower Midwest Regional after being pinned by Cornell's Klayton Keller in wrestlebacks at 149.

Wartburg has lost two of its first three matches in regional quarterfinals; the win was in OT.

Sad news out of Waverly, Iowa, as the Wartburg wrestling program reports that three-time national champion Kenny Anderson has passed away.

[Jon Gremmels @d3onthemat]

@kjpilcher I like the idea. The MAC tried it a few years ago, but had trouble getting enough players in the second or third year. Since the MVC has more schools, it might work. Scheduling also might be an issue.

Congratulations to d3onthemat follower Lucas Walker for his fourth-place finish at the Cadet National Freestyle Tournament in Fargo.

Augsburg qualified nine wrestlers Saturday at the Upper Midwest Region to lead the way, Wisconsin-Whitewater (Upper Midwest), Baldwin Wallace (Central) and Wabash (Central) each will send six to nationals.

Half of the field is set for the 2019 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships, and the other half will be decided today.

Also congrats to Coach Voss on his 400th career win!

[Jon Gremmels @d3onthemat]

In an exciting dual, Wartburg beats Augsburg 16-15 on criteria, 47-43 edge in points. Some great wrestling. National champ Rathbun (W) and Epps (A) are beaten.

Proud to say my former high school is hosting Iowa's first high school girls wrestling state tournament today. Good luck to all.

[Jon Gremmels @d3onthemat]

@kjpilcher Congratulations, K.J. In this line of work that is a great accomplishment. Here's to 16 more.

Saddened to hear of Bob Siddens passing. Legendary HS coach served in interim at Wartburg after Dick Walker's death before Jim Miller era.

@jasonmbryant @NCAADIII Conferences have been made insignificant in D3 wrestling, and although this change is not a surprise after NWU joined, it is not good for the state of Iowa or its schools. What state in U.S. doesn't have rivers?

@brendanroberts @TheAthletic @TheAthleticKC @TheAthleticSTL Congratulations to my favorite part-timer ever. Quite proud of you.
