Four Huskers set for Freestyle Junior World Team Trials

Four current Huskers will be competing during Friday's USA Freestyle Junior World Team Trials at the Devaney Sports Center.

Collin Purington (145 pounds): The sophomore finished fifth at last week's UWW Freestyle University Nationals in Akron, Ohio. He will wrestle Edinboro's Patricio Lugo in the opening round.

Chad Red (145): He redshirted last season, and took eighth place in the Akron event. Red has a first-round bye, and will wrestle Wisconsin's Cole Martin in the second round.

Taylor Venz (185): There are 15 wrestlers in the 84-kg division, and Venz gets a bye, so he'll be awaiting his quarterfinal opponent.
