Junior Riley Shaw and redshirt senior Ben Willeford will travel to St. Louis for the Division I Wrestling Championships on Thursday (Mar. 19) through Saturday (March 21). Shaw and Willeford will look to become CSU's first All-American since 1995. 

Ben Willeford was seeded 13th where he will wrestle Ethan Lizak (26-13) of Minnesota. Willeford, who finished 27-8 and nearly perfect in the EWL, will wrestle Thursday morning in the first session of competition. 

Shaw, who went 6-0 in the EWL and finished with an impressive 31-4 record, will wrestle against the #5 seed Connor Medbery of Wisconsin. Shaw and Medbery met earlier in the season at the Navy Classic in the Championship match. Riley will look for redemption in this Thursday morning showdown.
