Mustangs ready to host OUA Championships, Feb 20, 2010

The mustang men and women are in the final week prior to hosting the OUA Wrestling Championships, Saturday February 20 in Alumni Hall gymnasium.  The women’s team, which placed 2nd last year, will likely battle again with defending champions,  Brock,  for the overall team title.  The men who placed 5th behind 4th place McMaster are stronger this year and are looking to move up in team standings in what looks like a more competitive field.  Defending champions Brock do not seem as strong, while Lakehead will return the majority of team members from last season’s 2nd team placing.  The importance of the team event is evident where each wrestler contributes to scoring of team points by placing in the top six.  The 3 medallists in each weight class qualify for the CIS Championships in Calgary, March 5, 6/10. 

Wrestling action starts 10:00 am and continues throughout the day with finals starting at 3:30 pm.
