Eagles Wrestling Club takes second place in tournament
|
The Eagles Wrestling Club took second place with 117 points in the Wildcat Invitational Wrestling Tournament on November 19 at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana. Bowling Green State University came in first with 143, and USI was followed by University of Toledo with 68.5, University of Rio Grande with 68, and Indiana Wesleyan University with 50. The student club has close to 50 members and supporters. The club’s faculty advisor is Paul Kuban, associate professor of engineering. “We are planning to compete in upcoming tournaments, but of course finances are always an issue because it’s quite expensive to travel,” said Kuban. “We have very generous support from the community. There are several members of our booster club who have been very generous.” Fifteen members of the club competed in the tournament, which is divided into weight classes. USI took three first place wins, five second places, and two third places. For complete results, go to the National Collegiate Wrestling Association Web site. The club will compete in a tournament December 2-3 at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana. The season ends with a national tournament in March.
