Courtney made his season debut this week after missing the first five events of the year due to injury. In five matches he outscored the competition 18-8 along and had a pin. He was bested by Wisconsin's Eric Barnett in the title match. Chlebove was the star at 133 this week after Michael McGee was forced to pull out of competition. Chlebove recorded two tech falls and two wins by decision in seven matches. His two losses both came against Illinois' Lucas Byrd.
 
Parco, the 1 seed at 149, recorded a pair of major decisions to open his weekend but was ultimately bested by Northwestern's Yahya Thomas in the championship bout. Schultz recorded three pins throughout the tournament, but a quarterfinal upset from Pittsburgh's Dayton Pitzer had him fighting in the consolation bracket. In the bronze medal bout against Harvard's Yaraslau Slavikouski, Schultz earned a pin just 13 seconds into the second period.
