4 Eagles place top 3 at Wisconsin Open

Ten Eagle wrestlers placed at the Wisconsin Open Tournament in Kenosha, Wisconsin, four of which made the top three spots in their respective weight classes. Wrestlers from more than 20 teams, and a half-dozen states competed in the tournament. According to the team scoring provided by the University of Findlay, Ohio, Chadron State would have won the tournament with 158.5 points if the scores would have been tallied onsite.
Taylor Summers, senior of Plymouth, won the 133-pound division, and Sean Glasgow, redshirt freshman of Newark, New Jersey, won the 149-pound class. Summers went 3-0 to improve his record to 11-3 while Glasgow went 4-0 with two first-period pins to improve his record to 11-1 on the season.
Chance Karst, freshman of Powell, Wyoming, 133-pounds, wrestled unattached and met Summers in the championship match where he lost in a major decision to finish as the runner-up.
Chance Helmick, junior of Beatrice, 174-pounds lost his first match, but came back with vengeance and pinned his next three opponents and scored two major decisions in the last two matches to earn third place and put him 12-2 on the season.
At 157-pounds, Josh Bird, freshman of Burlington, Wisconsin, wrestled unattached. He lost his first match by fall, won his next with a 15-3 major decision, won by first-period injury default, and put a second-period pin on the board. A medical forfeit advanced him to the consolation finals where he lost the match because he was disqualified.
Five Eagles placed fifth in their weight classes. Brandon Kile, sophomore of Hastings, 125-pounds; Brock Thumm, redshirt sophomore of Watervliet, Michigan, 141-pounds; Johnny Porter, redshirt sophomore of Bellevue, 157-pounds; and Willy Cogdill, redshirt freshman of Chadron, 184-pounds. Each of the five won four matches and lost two, except Kile who went 3-2.
Heavyweight Cooper Cogdill, redshirt sophomore of Chadron, earned sixth place and went 4-1.
Next up for the Eagle wrestlers is the Jet Invitational Tournament hosted by Neman University, Wichita, Kansas.
