Wrestler Pernevlon Sheppard won the Super Region title at 141-pounds, helping the Rangers capture the team title for the first time in program history on Feb. 27. For his performance Sheppard was additionally named the region's Freshman of the Year. The 141-pounder won his first two matches by technical fall (18-0) and major decision (13-3), and that led to a semi-final matchup against the nationally ranked No. 3 wrestler, Bryce Killian from King University. Sheppard edged out the No. 1 seed, 11-10, winning the match with riding time. In the weight class finals, Pernevlon had 1-0 lead after the first two rounds, but closed out the match 3-2 claiming the first Championship of the day for the Rangers.
