brings both experience as a collegiate wrestler and excellent knowledge
of the sport. He will be a great asset to our program this season."

Oles at NIACC last weekend
Coach Arhar reports:
"We had a very strong presence in the NIACC (North Iowa Area Community
College Open) last weekend. Collin Pitts made a strong comeback after
taking a medical red shirt last year and placed 3rd in a tough 32 man
bracket. He pinned the #1 seed Cody Hogan of NIACC to wrestle for the
3rd place. Dan Rysavy placed 6th. Thomas Kopietz placed 3rd and Landon
Peppel went 3 and 2. The highlight of Peppel's tournament was his 4th
OT loss to Kurt Simmon of Elsworth Community College."
