COLLEGE WRESTLING
Local Sports Journal
The Muskegon Community College wrestlers were back in action after a month layoff from competition.
Muskegon welcomed Alma College, Grand Valley State University and Olivet College Saturday at Bartels-Rode Gymnasium and won all three matches.
“I am always a little concerned, because we have come out flat a few times in this meet due to the long layoff,” Coach Mark Brunger said. “That surely wasn’t the case today. We wrestled with intensity all day and really took it to our opponents. It was a true team effort today. For that, I am very proud of the performance.”
