As the first session of the 42nd Midlands Championships came to a close Wednesday, Northwestern found itself in a tie for seventh place with Iowa State in the overall team standings. The two teams are knotted at 25.0 points apiece. Northern Iowa is the current leader of the championships with 34.5 total points.
Six Wildcats won their first two matches of the day, helping NU to a seventh-place standing at the end of session one: No. 3 seed John Velez (125 lbs.)
