Joining the first-time women's field will be a stacked field of 41 men's programs. Seven Big Ten Conference teams are scheduled to be in action, including event host Northwestern, Michigan, and Nebraska, all of which placed inside the top six at this past March's NCAA Championships.
This year's tournament will also honor longtime Northwestern wrestling head coach and founder of the Midlands Championships Ken Kraft, who passed away at the age of 85 on October 27, 2020. Kraft was a member of the Northwestern Hall of Fame and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame for his contributions to the Wildcat community and the sport of wrestling.
