The only difference between the pair of 197 pounders is the time differential, with Vasbinder logging in with 20:29 and Mason at 30:23. He is one of two G-MAC athletes on the Top 10 list, as Lake Erie's Evan Loughman leads the nation in falls with 11 at 285 pounds.

Grine is tied with eight other wrestlers for third in the nation with 4 tech falls, with once again timing being the difference maker. Overall Grine ranks 9th with a time of 20:37. He is the only G-MAC wrestler on the list and is separated from the third place wrestler by 7:30.

Bronne, meanwhile, is ranked 9th in the Most Dominant wrestler category. He manages a 3.71 team point average and is the lone G-MAC wrestler represented on the list. He is 3rd overall in his 174 pound weight class in the category, and 1.03 points removed from leading the country.
