Chillicothe's Dan Demick scored a sixth-place finish in the heavyweight division for The College of Notre Dame at the Edinboro Open two weekends ago. Now, the former Cavalier heads into the National Collegiate Wrestling Association North Central Conference tournament in Edwardsville, Illinois.

His last time out, Demick went 5-3 en route to earning his seventh top-6 finish in his collegiate debut season. The 2010 CHS graduate dispatched three NCAA-I foes on the day, including a 4-2 decision over Ohio State's Orry Elor who had downed Demick twice at the Jan. 28 Simonson Open.

This Saturday's tournament includes collegiate teams not currently sanctioned for postseason competition in the NCAA or NAIA. 

Freshman heavyweight Dan Demick is 18-14 in 32 collegiate bouts this season.  He has placed in 7-of-8 tournaments entered this season and has pinned five foes.  Demick placed first in the Grand Valley (Mich.) Wrestling Club-hosted Laker Classic on Feb. 5 and is 12-6 over his last 18 matches.
