Plowman is a senior from Sunfield, Michigan and has started at 133 for the last two years. He had big conference wins last year over Kent State, Ohio and Central Michigan. Coach Lange said, "Phil was a member of our first recruiting class here 5 years ago and has done nothing but get better everyday. Phil is a quiet leader within the team, but his actions speak loud. His work ethic and determination will pay off come March."
Roush is a senior from the powerhouse high school program in Davison, Michigan. He has been the starting 157 pounder for his entire time at EMU and has been on a number of awards stands in the MAC, the EMU Open and other tournaments. His big win against Buffalo last year led Eastern to a big dual meet victory. Lange said, "Chad came in 4 years ago and led the team in wins as a freshman and looks to do the same this year. I believe that Chad is now comfortable in the leadership role and it showed during the preseason training. He is ready to make that trip to nationals."
Walker is a senior heavyweight from Romeo, Michigan who transferred to Eastern last year from Olivet College. He surprised a number of wrestlers with his intensity and finished 4th in the Mid American Conference last year. Of Walker, Lange said, "Charlie is new to the program only transferring in last year, but has made the complete transition quickly. His continued hard work in the spring and summer earned the team's, as well as the coaches', respect. Since placing in the MAC last season he has taken huge strides toward the top of the podium."
Conklin is a junior from Milton, Wisconsin. After a late start last year, he placed 3rd in the MAC at 141 pounds, with big wins over Kent and Buffalo. Lange said, "Nick is the perfect example of what hard work can do. He is a nonstop wrestler and I feel it has rubbed off on the younger guys in the program. The greatest thing about Nick is that he backs up his words about working hard with his actions. He is going to make a great leader for our program."
