EAU CLAIRE, Wis. – Six Pacific men's wrestlers competed in the NCAA Division III Regional 7 on Friday at the McPhee Physical Education Center.
Three Boxers earned a win at the tournament, but none were able to advance to Day 2 of competition. Senior
TJ Turner, who qualified for the Division III Wrestling Championships a year ago, got off to a strong start, winning by a 19-2 tech fall in the opening round. But after losing in the 125-pound quarterfinals, Turner's season came to an end in consolation round 2, where he led Linfield's Jacob Moore 6-3 before getting pinned at the 2:15 mark in the first period.
Senior
Spyre Nelson (174) and freshman
Braxton Cottam (285) also recorded wins before getting eliminated in their second consolation matches.
