Argo's have a great weekend in Oregon

The University of Great Falls wrestling traveled to Ashland Oregon this weekend for a dual and open tournament.

The Argos came out strong during the dual beating Southern Oregon University 28 to 12. Southern Oregon University took second place at the NAIA National wrestling tournament last season.

University of Great Falls head coach, Caleb Schaeffer, said "this is going to be a tough weekend of wrestling for the Argos."

The Argos took third place last season at the NAIA National tournament behind Southern Oregon University by a point and a half.

Coach Schaeffer was extremely happy with the dual and, in the open tournament that was held on both Saturday and Sunday.

In the open tournament, the Argo's had five in the finals with three taking first place. Additionally, the Argo's placed 14 out of 18 competitors this weekend.

The individual champions this weekend were Miles Mazurkewitz, Anthony Varnell, and Ross Mosher.
Micheal Hader and Louis Caranza placed second in the Open as well. Team scores were not kept at this tournament, but the Argo's looked like they may have came out on top.

The University of Great Falls wrestlers will be home Tuesday from this trip and leave again Friday for Spokane Washington for another open wrestling tournament.
