Wrestlers Put on Fine Performance at Central Invite

The Missouri Baptist University Wrestlers returned from the Central Invitational with three champions. Mike Aitch 125 lbs won his weight class and also met National Championship Qualification Standards. True Freshman Cody Rouse ran off straight wins to capture the title at 157lbs. Jared Bonnell won the championship at the heavyweight class. Jared looked unstoppable pinning all four of his opponent in the first period. Also meeting National Championship Qualification Standards were Edgar Haynes who was fifth at 141lbs and Chas Skelly second at 149lbs. Chas Skully looked good considering he is recently recovering from pneumonia. Chas forfeited in the finals. Kenny Holmes Heavyweight and John Wilcox 174lbs were both sixth in the tournament.

The Spartans next wrestle at home Wednesday against McKendree College.
