Iowa listed at Lindenwood on their website. Maybe they send some to both?

I think there will be some unatttached Iowa guys there.

It looks like this tourney mostly fills the void left by the UNO Kauffman/Brand (sp) tourney. I don't see SDSU, Wartburg, Augustana, and a few others but I'm not sure they have been an K/B in recent years either. The UNC and Lindenwood tourney are this weekend, any others in the midwest?

Nine of ten of the Kansas colleges will be at UNK! Neosho is over at Lindenwood.

Kearney, Neb. – The 4th-ranked Nebraska-Kearney wrestling team will host the biggest tournament in program history with this Saturday's UNK Holiday Inn Open at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds.

Around 30 teams will take part in the non-team scoring event that will be held in the new Exposition Center. The action will start at 9:00 a.m., on 12 mats, and run until the late evening hours.

Tickets are $ 10.00 for adults and $ 6.00 for seniors (60 plus) and youths (ages 5-18). Kids under four are free.

This open tournament helps replace Nebraska-Omaha's Kaufman-Brand Open, which annually was the biggest collegiate tournament in the county.

Among the schools that will be represented Saturday include Division I members Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Air Force and North Dakota State, area Division II schools such as Chadron State, Fort Hays State and Central Missouri, NAIA-members Hastings and York and a slew of junior colleges and several club teams.

Due to the size of the field, there will be two divisions and brackets will be updated throughout the day at www.lopers.com.

Any Labette folks heading up for the UNK tourney? If so, please consider posting updates here. Thanks in advance for anyone that can do so.

Anyone see where the brackets are posted?

brackets????

Hughes 133 Labette. Wbtf 22-7 over Midland College. I will post updates on other kids as I get them.

Brackets updated throughout the day?

Thanks Coach. UNK has always had bad on-line media. Their website was a single page up until last year or the year before. I saw the fancy new website and had high hopes....but.....

Ike gotta bring those Kansas boys to my state next year. Heck of a tourney going on at Lindenwood. Online brackets to boot!

Jones won first two. Hall lost one in elite bracket. Carter and Basks won their first. Hughes beat wyoming's O'leary (from Mo) 7 to 4.

Well...The competition is still good up there but the online media is not. It's high time that all school recognize the importance of disseminating sports information online! Lindewood does look like a solid little tourney.

Maryville has continued with the old UNO tradition of first rate online information. You can search "Maryville Wrestling Livestream" on FB and you'll find a live video feed from Lindenwood.

There are two divisions at this event. Elite and Amatuer.

trackwrestling can handle 2 divisions at once easily.

They just posted updated Elite Bracket.
