WHEATON, Ill. — Nebraska Wesleyan University's wrestling team used the final multi-day tournament of the regular season as a proving ground, competing against a deep national field at the Pete Wilson Invitational on Friday and Saturday, hosted by Wheaton College.

The Prairie Wolves finished 26th among 30 teams in the two-day event, with several wrestlers stringing together wins through the consolation bracket in what served as the second-to-last meet of the 2025–26 regular season.

HOW IT HAPPENED

At 125 pounds, Quinton Chavez opened his weekend in convincing fashion, earning an 11–1 major decision over a Mount St. Joseph University opponent in the first round. Chavez battled through a challenging bracket and finished the tournament 2–2, providing valuable points for Nebraska Wesleyan.

Robbie Fisher responded well after a narrow setback at 141 pounds. Fisher dropped his opening match by sudden victory before regrouping in the consolation bracket, where he secured a pair of decision victories to also finish 2–2 on the weekend.

Cy Peterson followed a similar path at 157. After being pinned in the opening round, Peterson bounced back with authority, posting a technical fall and a pin in consolation action before being eliminated, closing the tournament with a 2–2 record.

The Prairie Wolves gained critical experience against quality opposition as the postseason approaches, with the focus now shifting toward preparation and refinement.
