Wrestling's Barretto and Chavez Pick Up Wins at Pete Willson Invite

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Nebraska Wesleyan wrestling team traveled to Wheaton, Ill., to compete in the two-day Pete Willson Invite held by Wheaton College on Friday and Saturday.
  • Michael Barretto and Emilio Chavez were the only Prairie Wolves to find the win column for NWU.
  • At 141 lbs., Barretto bounced back after losing by a technical fall in the first round. The sophomore pinned Alma College's Gabe Sultzbach to advance to the second round of the consultation bracket. Unfortunately, his day ended there as Kaiden Schrandt of Wisconsin-Lacrosse won by a technical fall over Barretto.
  • Emilio Chavez caused havoc in the 184-pound bracket, rattling off back-to-back wins in consultation rounds two and three after receiving a bye. Chaves won by decision over Cortland State's Robert Cunningham and earned the pass over the University of Mount Union's Bryce McCloskey due to medical forfeit. The Colorado native would meet his match in Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Connor Collins and be pinned in the opening minutes of the first round.
