Hambrick Places Fifth at Knox Invite

Jobi Hambrick led the way for the Trojans in a what was like a “wrestling marathon” finishing the day in 5th place at the Knox College Invitational tournament. Jobi wrestled an HLG record of 8 matches in one day with one match going into overtime. Jobi’s record on the day was 6 wins and 2 losses which also is the best single day win record for a Trojan wrestler. Kasey Cates, Josh Smith, and Kyle Blankenship were all 2-2 on the day. We had three wrestlers make the freshmen mistake of not making weight last Saturday which cost them dearly. They all ended up wrestling up a weight class and did not wrestle as competitively at the heavier weight class as compared to their normal weight class. Hopefully these wrestlers will learn from this experience and will not miss weight again in the future.
