CENTERVILLE - The Iowa Central wrestling team will begin their journey to another national title here Sunday.

The third-ranked Tritons will be joined by their fellow ICCAC rivals at the North Central District Championship hosted by Indian Hills. 

Wrestling begins at 10 a.m. 

Iowa Central finished off the regular season with a dominating victory over No. 5 Indian Hills to share the regular season dual crown. The conference features five teams in the Top-10 overall with North Iowa Area seventh, Iowa Western ninth and Iowa Lakes 10th.

Last year, Indian Hills won the team title followed by the Tritons. Iowa Western, North Iowa Area and Iowa Lakes rounded out the Top-5. 

Six of the 10 weight classes feature a top-ranked individual from the ICCAC with Iowa Central's Jose Rodriguez and Jorden Pryor leading the way. Rodriguez, a returning national champion, is No. 1 at 174 pounds and Pryor, who reached the finals last year, is No. 1 at heavyweight.

Keaton Geerts, another returning finalist, is third at 149 pounds with Nolan Miller-Johnston third at 157. Josh Ramirez is fourth at 165, Aidan Harris sixth at 125 and Hayden Halter eighth at 133. 

Rodriguez is also a returning district champion with Harris and Pryor having placed second in the spring. Miller-Johnston finished fourth. 

Track Wrestling will provide live results with a live stream available at GoHills TV.

The NJCAA Championships are set for March 4-5 in Council Bluffs hosted by Iowa Western.
