LAST WEEK The Golden Eagles opened the 1999-2000 season at UW-Stevens Point?s Golden Eagle Open in Stevens Point, Wis., on Sat., Nov. 13. There were no team scores for either of the two divisions - Gold and Silver (freshmen) - but several individual Golden Eagles turned in impressive early-season performances.
In the Gold Division, Marquette captured three individual weight-class titles. Challis brought home the 125-pound award. Butville and Schneider, both ranked among the Preseason Top 25 in their respective weight classes, also both earned individual championships. Butville edged Wartburg?s Justin Holdgrafer at 165 pounds, while Schneider got past UW-Platteville?s Roy Forsyth for the title at 197 pounds.
Posmer finished second in the 157-pound weight classification.
In the Silver Division, freshman Andy Zychowicz (Perrysburg, Ohio / Perrysburg) took third place in the 141-pound weight class.
