ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Old Dominion wrestling team will be sending 15 wrestlers to compete in the Navy Classic on Saturday, November 23. The action is scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m.

This will be the 42nd Annual Navy Classic and the third-consecutive year that ODU will be competing in the event. Last season, ODU placed fourth out of 16 teams in the tournament, with Larry Early leading the way after winning the 157-pound bracket. This year the Midshipmen welcome 17 other teams to the Wesley Brown Field House, among them are No. 22 Lock Haven and T-No. 4 Virginia Tech. 

Two new Monarchs cracked national rankings this past week after strong starts to the season, as WIN Magazine ranked Killian Cardinale 13th in the country at 125 pounds and Shane Jones 19th at 165 pounds. Both wrestlers will be competing in the Navy Classic and are coming off of strong performances in the Monarchs' loss to No. 9 NC State last Friday, dispatching ranked opponents. Cardinale earned a 6-5 win by decision over No. 13 Jakob Comacho with a late takedown, and Jones carried an early take down and riding time to beat No. 10 Thomas Bullard in a 3-2 win by decision. 

Sa'Derian Perry, who is featured at No.13 in TrackWrestling's rankings at 141 pounds, will also be competing in Annapolis, as well as No. 24 Will Hilliard in the 285-pound bracket.
