With qualifications for the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament and the No. 1 seed on the line this weekend, the Huskers sent five wrestlers to the 2022 USMC US Open in Las Vegas to compete at the senior level. Four former wrestlers took part in freestyle, while junior-to-be Alex Thomsen competed in the senior-level Greco-Roman competition.
Tyler Berger, who already had a World Team Trial spot locked up, was gunning for the 1-seed at 70 kg, while Collin Purinton, Isaiah White and Christian Lance were all competing with the hope of qualifying for the World Team Trials in late May.
