Wrestling: ‘Cats finish 2021 on high note, but falter in conference play

After a nearly month-long break following another solid performance at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Collegiate Wrestling Invitational, the ‘Cats are back on the mats, ending 2021 with two solid home victories and opening 2022 against two tough Big Ten opponents.
