Spartan Wrestlers Finish 17th at Midwest Classic

The Missouri Baptist University Men’s Wrestling Team traveled this past weekend to Indianapolis, Indiana to compete in the Midwest Classic. The two day event was hosted by the University of Indianapolis. Many great NCAA Division II and III schools were on hand not to mention other NAIA schools. The Spartans placed 17th out of the 24 team tournament.
Placing for the Spartans were senior Jared Bonnell (Farmington, MO) in the 285-pound weight class, sophomore Nathanial Troupe (Kuna, ID) at 149, and sophomore Cody Rouse (Jackson, MO) at 157 respectively.
Up next for the Spartans will be the NWCA National Wrestling Duals in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The best of the best in the NAIA, and all three NCAA divisions will be there. The Spartans look to make a name for themselves. The tournament will run all-day Saturday January 13th, and Sunday January 14th.
