Last weekend’s Central Missouri Open consisted of just one tournament.

This Sunday, at the Missouri Open, though, presents a unique scenario for the wrestlers.

“This weekend is an unusual tournament because it’s two tournaments in one,” head coach Ralph McCausland said. “They’re going to divide it in half. They’re going to have an open division on six mats and have a freshman-sophomore division on six mats.”

Both sides will be competing at once.

McCausland said the tournament is well-organized every year, so it will be able to handle the two tournaments at once. He also said this is a great chance for younger wrestlers to compete against people on their level.

“This is kind of a good scenario, especially for the younger guys, heading into a big tournament like this,” he said. “We got true freshmen that if it was a general open, could meet up with an all-American, fifth year, seasoned veteran and in past years it used to be like that.”
