Marable is the third Missouri wrestler in five years named to the All-Star team. Recent graduate Tyler McCormick was selected to the 2007 squad but was unable to compete due to injury.

Marable is currently 2-1 on the season, most recently collecting a 3-1 decision over Hofstra's Ryan Patrovich Saturday afternoon in the Hearnes Center. The bout was Marable's second overtime contest of the season.
