Although battling injuries and illnesses, NFV wrestling had a big night Thursday in Tripoli. The team finished second in the First Annual UIC Dual Meet, and Gunner Rodgers entered the pantheon of NFV wrestling greats when he won the 100th match of his career.

The TigerHawks finished 4-1 on the night in the Gold Bracket. Their only loss was a close one to MFL/MM, ranked fifth in Class 1A. NFV was in that match all the way, but forfeits and losses by younger grapplers was enough for the Bulldogs to earn a hard-fought win.

For the tournament, Levi Lauer, Weston Fantz, and Gunner Rodgers all went 5-0.
