The University of Michigan wrestling team will not compete at the Midlands Championships, scheduled for Dec. 29-30, head coach Joe McFarland announced on Tuesday (Dec. 19).<\/p>\n
“After evaluating our first semester, “said McFarland, “we just felt it was in our best interest to come back here and let a few of our guys heal up a little bit. We just felt we needed more time to adequately heal and get some good training to get ready for the second and most important part of our season.”<\/p>\n
The Wolverines will return to the mats in the early in the new year when they square off against Hofstra on Saturday, Jan. 6. The non-conference dual is slated for a 7 p.m. start at Cliff Keen Arena.<\/p>\n
