Eugene Harney (149) earned the program's highest pre-seed, checking in at No. 1 heading into this weekend's conference tournament. With the top seed, Harney will advance directly to the quarterfinals when competition begins.

Junior Cort Vann (174) also secured a top-eight pre-seed in his respective weight class, positioning himself for a strong run at the championship and earning placement among the conference's top contenders.

Head coach Kenny Monday expressed confidence in his squad heading into the conference championship.

"I feel good about where our seeds are in the EIWA. We have an opportunity to really have a great performance and qualify some wrestlers for the NCAA tournament in a few weeks. It's March Matness and anything can happen. Like I always tell the team, anybody can be beaten on any given day!"

"Eugene Harney earning the number 1 seed in our second year in the EIWA conference is monumental for the program."
