Trojan wrestlers showed up in force to wrestle at the Loras University Open Saturday. Five wrestlers placed in the Silver Division of the tournament with Jobi Hambrick and Nathan Downs facing off in the finals for bragging rights at 174 lbs. Altogether HLG wrestlers collected 15 wins on the day which is a new tournament collective win record for the young program. Zach Fish placed 6th at 133 lbs. Josh Smith finished in 3rd place at 149 lbs. Jobi Hambrick had a victory over Nathan Downs in the finals of 174 lbs. and Shane Brandl finished 5th at 184 lbs. Seth Revelle and Kasey Cates picked up their first wins of the season as well. The success that HLG saw on the mat at the LU Open was a result of working hard in the wrestling room. There is a lot of work to be done this week in preparation for our next competition which is the Knox Invitational Tournament in Galesburg, IL.
