2024 NCAA DI National Championships Preview (133 lbs)

The 2024 NCAA DI Wrestling Championships are less than a week away! In a few short days, 330 wrestlers will make the trek to Kansas City, with hopes of a national title on their minds. Now it's in a city that hasn't hosted nationals since 2003 , but by all accounts, should be a great host. 

Before the action on the mat starts, InterMat will go through each individual bracket and highlight the favorites, top matches to watch, and much more.

The Top Seed: Daton Fix (Oklahoma State)

Will this be the year that Daton Fix comes out on top? Since 2018-19, Daton Fix has been a contender or favorite at 133 lbs. In his first three NCAA appearances, Fix’s title run was halted in the national finals. Last season, Fix was soundly defeated by Vito Arujau in the semifinals and settled for fourth place. 

Despite his lack of an NCAA title, Fix has been one of the best wrestlers in the nation for his entire collegiate career. Only once has he suffered defeat prior to the NCAA Tournament. This year is no different as the Cowboy star. He sports a 17-0 record after becoming the first wrestler to claim five Big 12 Championships. Fix holds the top seed at the NCAA tournament for the third time in his career. He’s never been seeded lower than second.
