WVU wrestlers set to host 26th annual Open
MORGANTOWN — The West Virginia University wrestling team will host its 26th annual WVU Open on Saturday. The event will start at 10 a.m. in the Shell Building, located behind the WVU Coliseum.
The tournament is an open event where no team scores are kept and participants from the college-level and older are welcome to compete. The tournament was canceled last year. Senior David Jauregui won the 2006 WVU Open title at 149 pounds and junior Brandon Rader won the 141-pound title.
Some of the teams competing on Saturday include: Navy, Ohio State, Virginia, Maryland, Edinboro, Pitt and Ohio.
The Mountaineers hold the No. 23 ranking in the latest Intermat poll and return five of their seven NCAA Tournament qualifiers, including senior Kurt Brenner, who won the Eastern Wrestling League 184-pound title. Also returning is two-time All-America Rader.
