The Muhlenberg men's wrestling team closed out its 2025-26 season on the second day of the NCAA Region 3 Championships.

Junior CJ Horvath placed fourth at 125, missing qualifying for nationals by one place. He went 1-2 on the final day, with his win coming by major decision against the same Ursinus wrestler he beat in the Centennial Conference final. Horvath (pictured above) finished his season with a record of 25-4, setting a school record with 12 technical falls. 

The other Mule to make it to the podium, senior Ryan Fairchild, dropped a pair of close decisions on the second day to place eighth at 197. He finished his career with a record of 73-39, ranking in the top 10 on the program's all-time list in both pins (33) and major decisions (18).
