The Wayne State Wildcats men’s wrestling team competed on Nov. 17 and 18 against Colorado State in a wrestling dual. Other competing teams included, Minona, Missouri S&T and University of Iowa’s wrestling club. The Wildcats lost at 24-28.

“There were some tough matches,” Head Coach Greg Vander Weil said. “There were a couple one point matches, (where we were ahead but) got caught and pinned. One of those duals we could probably re-wrestle and come on top.”
