In its first action of the new year, the Central College men’s wrestling team piled up 17 place winners at their home Under Armour Invitational on Saturday.

The 22 brackets featured 260 wrestlers from 16 different programs from the NCAA Divisions II and III and NAIA. There were no team scores kept. In the silver brackets for predominantly underclassmen, three Central freshmen had big days. Dominick Marre was 4-0 with three falls for the 125-pound title while classmates Carter West and Ethan Skoglund each were 3-0 and shared the 133-pound crown. On the other end of the lineup, Hayden Hearne and Kyler Hall shared third place in the 285-pound Gold bracket. Other place finishers for Central in the gold brackets were David Vukobratovich in fourth place at 125 pounds, Damion Clark in sixth place at 133 pounds, Jason Hermann in fourth place at 174 pounds, Colby Tool in fifth place at 174 pounds and Justin Dallas in sixth place at 197 pounds. Sophomore Luke Spaur added a title in the Silver 141-pound bracket by beating three unattached wrestlers from Grand View University. Additional bracket champions were Nathan Rosas in the Silver bracket at 184 lbs and Jonathan Gressett in the bronze 285-pound division.

The Dutch will make their first-ever appearance at the NWCA National Duals next Friday and Saturday in Cedar Falls.
