Ness commits to the University of Minnesota

October 10, 2008

Bloomington Kennedy junior Dylan Ness has verbally committed to wrestle for the University of Minnesota following his senior season (2010).

Ness placed third at State in Class AAA at 119 pounds as a sophomore and third at 103 pounds as a freshman. His current record is 79-5.

Nationally, Dylan won the prestigious Cadet Triple Crown this year. It is awarded to wrestlers who win USA Wrestling national titles in folkstyle, Greco-Roman and freestyle during the same year. Only five wrestlers have ever accomplished this feat. He was also named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament after winning his freestyle national title.

Dylan's older brother Jayson, now in his junior year with the Golden Gophers, is a two-time All-American.

Parents are Jay and Sally and his coach is Charles Vavrosky.
