It was an action full of matches for the Westminster Wrestling program as the ladies were in St. Louis competing (at Missouri Baptist University) and the men headed south to Springfield to compete in the Drury Open. It was a very competitive field drawing from all levels of college wrestling (Juco, DI-DIII, and a handful of nearby NAIA schools). The Blue Jays are a young team (only one senior) but they brought 7 wrestlers to scrap.
Below are the individual matches and results for the Westminster Men’s Wrestling team.
