The Barton Community College wrestling squad received a good learning experience this past weekend at the UNK Younes Hospitality Open in Kearney, Nebraska.

Competing in another stout field against top-tier Division II and NAIA teams, the Cougar three pack was unable to find the win column.

Barton will take the holiday week off before returning to the mats Sunday December 5th at the Jet Open held in Wichita, KS.
