Yesterday the OMS wrestling team attended Troy's "Best of the Midwest" Dual Tournament. The competition here is very tough every year and is a good chance to see different teams for us. We went 2-3 on the day, with two of our losses only losing by one match. Our wrestling was highlighted by Ryder Hankins, Corbin Phillips, and Zane Krehbiel going undefeated on the day. Overall the team wrestled very well and are showing great improvements on the year so far.
