Dubuque, IA - Saturday two Trojan wrestlers braved the snow and the cold weather to travel to north-east Iowa for the Jim Fox Open which is hosted by the University of Dubuque. The rest of the team took advantage of the end of the semester and headed home for the holidays, but Ian Taylor and Dan Capp were rewarded by through their extra effort by placing third in a tough tournament. Both Taylor and Capp suffered losses in their first matches, but both fought back to their consolation final matches. At the end of the day both wrestlers commented that when HLGU’s campus became empty as a result of the end of the semester and the beginning of Christmas break that they were wishing they were home. However, after competing and finishing as high as only one other previous Trojan Wrestler finished, both Capp and Taylor expressed satisfaction in the fact that they made the choice to compete on this Saturday when other wrestlers chose not to compete. Congratulations Capp and Taylor!
