Saturday, the Eagle wrestling team did not compete in the Dakota Wesleyan Open Tournament, in Mitchell, South Dakota. They did not travel because the roads were too bad and there were several wrestlers who were hurt and sick, Head Wrestling Coach Brett Hunter said. 

This coming Saturday the Eagles will travel to Kearney to compete in the Nebraska-Kearney Holiday Inn Open. 

According to Hunter, Chadron State is taking 24 guys to the tournament, and University of Nebraska-Kearney is hosting 32 teams at the tournament. Hunter also stated that this will be a very tough tournament.
