2023 Ted Reese Invitational Recap

This was certainly one of the toughest meets MIT will be at all year, with most of the competition at Ted Reese consisting of strong NCAA varsity teams. Our wrestlers, despite falling short of some of their goals, put forth courageous efforts in their matches and have plenty of takeaways and learning from the experience.
