ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Maryville University, McKendree University, and Upper Iowa University were crowned Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Wrestling Tri-Champions on Sunday afternoon at the Simon Athletic Center on Maryville’s campus in St. Louis, Missouri, after all three teams finished the regular season with a 5-1 league record.
The Saints claimed their first Conference title after taking down the defending GLVC champions, University of Indianapolis, along with Drury University and Davenport University this afternoon.
The ninth-ranked Bearcats secured their fifth league championship, following shutout wins over Davenport and Drury today.
In their inaugural GLVC season, the No. 15 Peacocks garnered the school’s first-ever GLVC crown in any sport, picking up dominant wins over Quincy University and UIndy on Sunday.
Per GLVC Bylaws, the Conference declares multiple champions should the regular season end with identical league records. This is the first time in the eight-year history of the sport that more than one program has secured the Conference crown.
The All-GLVC teams and major award winners will be determined in the coming weeks, pending a vote of the league’s head coaches. Additionally, Conference teams now await the NCAA Division II Super Regional, which will be held March 2 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
