GREELEY, Colo. – The Northern Colorado wrestling team is gearing up for an exciting season, led by standout senior Dominick Serrano, who enters his final year ranked among the nation's top competitors.
Serrano, competing at 133 pounds, has earned a No. 15 national preseason ranking from FloWrestling—highlighting his consistency, relentless work ethic, and major contributions to the program.
A Windsor native and veteran leader for the Bears, Serrano brings an outstanding track record to the mat. Last season, he captured the Big 12 title at 133 pounds, earning a spot at the NCAA Championships. He also ranked second on the team in total wins and recorded an impressive .850 winning percentage.
His return provides UNC with a proven force in the lineup and a key piece as the team prepares for a challenging schedule ahead.
With Serrano at the forefront and a new and experienced coaching staff now in place, Northern Colorado is poised to keep building momentum in the tough Big 12 Conference.
The Bears kick off their season on October 31 with the Blue and Gold Scrimmage at the Bank of Colorado Arena.
