HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Nebraska Wesleyan wrestling team left the Luther Hill Invitation in Indianola, Iowa on Saturday, with one bracket winner, three finalists and nine placers.
- In the first open of the year, Travis Guzman ran through his field of competition. The junior earned his third fall of the day over Simpson's Riley Kovalesk to bring home gold in the Open 157 division.
- After a bye in the first round, sophomore Quinton Chavez won by tech fall over Graceland's Riley Harger (TF 19-4) to her one of the spots in the Open 125 finale. Chavez matched up against Southeast Community College's Lance Olberding, where he was defeated in an emotional 6-4 decision.
- It took Caleb Schwerdtfeger three matches to earn a shot at gold in the Fresh/Soph 197 bracket. The freshman squared off with Iowa Western's Luke MacDonald. Unfortunately, Schwerdtfeger came up short in a tech fall finish.
- Other placers on the day included: Isaiah Graves (3rd), Jared Gallub (3rd), Tashaud Nelson (3rd), Dawson Schwerdtfeger (4th), Christopher McClanahan (4th) and Seth Littrell (4th).
