Nebraska Wesleyan restarts wrestling program

There were no wrestling mats, T-shirts, singlets, colored ankle bands. Not even a whistle when Brandon Bradley restarted the Nebraska Wesleyan wrestling program. He had a plan to get the right stuff, to get some wrestlers and become the first NWU head coach since 1982 when the program ended — as it turned out, temporarily. Now, with a full roster of 30 wrestlers, covering all 10 weight classes, an assistant coach in Robert Sanders, mats and uniforms, Bradley is ready for the season opener at 11 a.m. Saturday in Snyder Arena. Former Wesleyan wrestlers are invited to attend the duals with Wisconsin-Eau Claire and NWU conference rival Dubuque. “It was a lot of work to get to this point, but this is what I wanted and Ira Zeff (NWU athletic director) has been great in his support,” Bradley said.
