Bloomington, Ind. - The 2002-03 season is set to begin this weekend for the Hoosiers when they travel to Columbia, Missouri for the Missouri Open on November 24. Although team scores will not be kept at the Open, it will give the team and its individuals an opportunity to get in challenging matches on the mat.
Some of the top teams in the nation will send individuals to the Missouri Open, including Nebraska and Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Illinois to name just a few.
Beginning the season ranked in the top 10 in the nation, Coyte Cooper (141, Anacortes, Wash./Anacortes HS) and Pat DeGain (197, Clarkston, Mich./Clarkston HS) have managed to hold their respective rankings.

W.I.N. Magazine's Nov. 19 rankings place DeGain 16th while Amateur Wrestling News does not have DeGain ranked at all. At 197, LockHaven's Jon Trenge holds first in all polls.
