Roosa ’13, Lark ’12 to Represent Wesleyan at NCAA Championships

Two Wesleyan athletes are going to the NCAA Championships.

Kyle Roosa ’13 will represent Wesleyan at the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships at The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse March 11-12, while Tommie Lark ’12 will participate in the NCAA Division III Men’s Indoor Track Championships at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, March 11-12.

Roosa ’13 recently extended the wrestling team’s string of claiming at least one New England Wrestling Association (NEWA) title when he claimed the crown at 174 pounds during the annual NEWA Championships hosted by Trinity Feb. 26-27.

The Cardinals, with two runner-ups, three fifth-place finishers and one sixth-place finisher, placed third in the field of 14 NEWA teams.

Lark earned his trip to the NCAAs at the New England Division III Men’s Indoor Track Championships hosted by Springfield on Feb. 19. There, Lark ’12 broke his own school record in the triple jump while winning the event with a leap of 48′-2 1/2″.
