Wisconsin also had a poor showing in their 2021 dual meet schedule in compiling a 1-6. This can mainly be contributed to a tough schedule and a mixed bag of results from their top guys.

The Badgers did pick up a huge transfer in the offseason as No. 10 ranked Andrew McNally (174) transferred to Madison from Kent State. The talented senior compiled a record of 77-19 while at Kent State.

Wisconsin has already had their first dual meet of the season, a 30-3 thrashing of Buffalo in front of home fans at the Field House for the first time in 18 months. The Badgers are next set to take part in the Michigan State Open on November 6th.
