The Evergreen State College men's wrestling team is gearing up for the 2025 Cascade Collegiate Conference Men’s Wrestling Tournament, taking place this weekend at Simpson University in Redding, California. All 10 teams in the CCC are participating, making this championship event vital for wrestlers looking to qualify for the NAIA Championships. Head Coach Greg Ford expressed enthusiasm about the team's preparation, stating that they are more dialed in this year compared to their previous outing. Notable athletes include Seth Dawkins, who is performing exceptionally well at 149 pounds, and Jeramias Sandoval, who has been consistent at 141 pounds.
