Led by a strong senior class and with an influx of new talent, the Case Western Reserve University wrestling team turned in one of their best seasons in recent memory. The Spartans had their best finish at the regional meet since 2012 and finished the season with an 11-4 record in dual meets.

CWRU placed 11th at the NCAA Central Regional meet, held at the Veale Center on campus for the first time in over 10 years. Sophomore Calvin Cai and first-year Art Martinez each placed fifth in their weight classes to lead the team to 36.5 points. Cai, competing at 157 pounds, went 5-2 at the regional meet, and Martinez, competing at 141 pounds, went 4-2.

The fifth place regional finish capped an impressive first year of collegiate wrestling for Martinez, who led the team with 34 wins and a .739 winning percentage. The NWCA Scholar All-American finished the season with a 34-12 record, including 12 pins and three technical falls. He advanced to the second day of competition at the historic Pete Willson Invite and won 12 consecutive matches from January 10 to January 27, including five pins and two technical falls.

Cai, an NWCA Scholar All-American, competed at four different weight classes for CWRU during the season. He finished the campaign with a record of 21-19, winning six matches by pin and two by technical fall.

In addition to Martinez and Cai, senior Mitchell Arch and first-years Marty Landes, E.J. Alizio, Calvin Rowan, and Thomas Wagner were among the team's top performers during the 2022-23 campaign. Arch was named an NWCA Scholar All-American for the fourth consecutive season, finishing the year with a 23-11 overall record and a team-high 15 pins. Landes led the team with five technical falls, ending the season with an overall record of 18-16 and three pins. Alizio was a consistent contributor at 125 pounds, finishing the campaign with a record of 22-17, six pins, and two technical falls. Rowan, a 149-pound wrestler, won 22 of his 36 matches, with four pins. He also went 2-2 at the University Athletic Association Championships, placing third in his weight class. Wagner tied for second on the team with 14 pins, totaling 21 wins in 36 matches during his first collegiate season.

After an eighth-place finish at the Adrian Invite, Case Western Reserve won its first dual of the season, a 39-8 victory over Ohio Wesleyan. The Spartans also recorded impressive dual wins over Thiel, Washington & Jefferson, Waynesburg, and St. John Fisher. In invitational action, Case Western Reserve placed fifth at the Baldwin Wallace Invite, with senior Stephen Andryc reaching the final in the 197-pound bracket. At the 2023 UAA Championships, CWRU placed third with five members of the team finishing third in their weight classes.

The Spartans continued their success in the classroom, with Andryc and Arch named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team. In addition, Andryc, Arch, Cai, junior William Kerr, sophomore Cole Mullenix, and junior Ben Stites received UAA All-Academic honors.
