Nathan Downs Becomes The First Nationally Ranked Trojan Wrestler in School History

HLG’s Nathan Downs (Freshman from Hawk Point, MO) became the first Trojan wrestler to be given a national ranking for the 174 lb weight class. Downs has been wrestling tough and opened the season with a 6th place finish at the season tournament opener at the Lindenwood University Open. Anyone who observes practice will find Downs and his practice partner, Jobi Hambrick, working hard to get better every day. Their hard work has paid off. Trojan wrestling also received an honorable mention vote for national ranking as well. This is also a first for our young program. I don’t think it will be long before we see Downs joined by other Trojan wrestlers in the national ranking poll. Congratulations Nathan!
