And hats off to Coach May for recruiting and training at such a high level. Jacob Nowak should be showing up in the rankings pretty soon I would think.

The team is off to Kearney, Nebraska this weekend. Drive carefully!

Has Carrillo turned 30 years old yet?

You may be thinking of Cody Carrillo who would be around 28, but he is also on the Dana wrestling team I believe wrestling at 157. He graduated high school in 2000.

Andrew is probably 23 years old, and graduated high school in 2005 if memory serves right.

Andrew graduated in 2005, and is a redshirt senior.
His brother Cody coached for a while, and is now continuing his education and wrestling.
