INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - On Wednesday evening, the NCAA released its brackets for the 2010 Division I Wrestling Championships. Air Force freshman Cole VonOhlen (Jackson, Minn.), who earned an automatic bid at 141 pounds, will be the Falcons' lone representative at this year's national championships.
VonOhlen, who is ranked 18th in the latest Intermat rankings, earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships after placing second at this year's West Regional. He enters next week's championships with a 31-7 overall record.
