So RI has an NCAA Division I qualifier for the first time since 2011. That was Corey Peltier of Hendricken - and later Blair Academy - from the University of Maryland after winning the ACC Championship at 184. Mike wasn't the most likely candidate since he didn't break into Brown's starting lineup until late in the season, lost a couple of OT matches, then won half the remaining bouts and placed an impressive 4th at Easterns. Looking back just a few years he, Fallon and Leete were 2, 3 and 1 respectively at high school New Englands, and here they were along with multi-NE champ Hunter Adrian in the Eastern Championships. I used to think that a RI wrestler, or any New England wrestler for that matter, had to be a NE champ to even start in Division I let alone qualify for Nationals. But Joyce has made it as a State champ and NE placer, as did Peltier. And Coach Ebed Jarrell qualified twice and was nationally ranked wrestling for Drexel after being a repeat RI champ and "only" 4th in New England. The other New England qualifiers are Max Leete of American University and Brevin Casella of Binghamton, both of whom did win NEs. Fallon almost made it too, beating 3X NE HS champ Adrian of Brown on one second of riding time in Sudden Death, then similarly losing to Leete who had been his teammate and nemesis at American after splitting with each other in two New England Championships. That's a lot of NE wrestling represented in one of the top four wrestling conferences in the country.
Mike Joyce will wrestle-in against Tristan Lujan of Michigan State from the 32 seed at 125, then if successful faces No. 1 seed Braeden Davis of Penn State. Below is the link for the NCAA Wrestling brackets from Intermat Wrestling:

Well, actually, Coach Ebed was much more recent than Peltier, having qualified in 2019 and 2020. I really should follow my own timeline. I don't recall any other RI NCAA Division I entries this Century but I'm probably missing someone.
Speaking of NCAA championships, former Coventry NE champ Joziah Fry successfully defending his NCAA Division III title last week. Representing Johnson and Wales, Joziah absolutely dominated the competition, with three technical falls in a row followed by an 18-8 major win in the finals over Christian Guzman of North Central (IL). J&W placed fourth in the tourney won by Augsburg (MN), with Coast Guard seventh and Castleton (VT) 12th for a very good showing by New England wrestling.
