(March 2, 2012) - Loudoun County High School grad Dan Scanlan, and Limestone College wrestling standout, remains No. 1 in the 197-pound division for NCAA DII. Scanlan demolished the competition at the region tournament on his way to winning his weight class. He was so dominant in fact that he earned the honor of Most Outstanding Wrestler for the entire two-day event.

Limestone College, a DII in Gaffney SC, wrestling team (9-8) has moved up one spot to No. 14 in the latest NCAA Division II Wrestling Coaches poll as released on Tuesday, February 28. The Saints moved up on the merit of a fourth place finish at the Super Region II tournament this past weekend.
Limestone had a tremendous showing at the Super Region II tournament as a program record eight wrestlers placed and a program record four qualified for the NCAA Championships that are to be held on March 9 and 10 in Pueblo, Colo.
