cgi369 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Very exciting match tonight as Purdue and IU square off at 7 p.m. at Mackey Arena. I'm a Purdue student and Perry Meridian Wrestling alumn currently covering wrestling for Purdue's student newspaper, The Exponent. I had a chance to talk to Coach Ersland and Jacob Aven yesterday after practice, and tried to highlight some of the match ups between Indiana guys in my preview article. https://www.purdueexponent.org/sports/mens/wrestling/article_fc0966d0-1b35-11e9-983b-af97b5d99edb.html Aven was very in tune with everything going on in High School wrestling, and felt that many of the wrestling fans present tonight will cheer for both sides. Let's hope for a great night of wrestling! horseofadifferentcolor and UncleJimmy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWINfan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Nice job. Do you have any idea on what kind of crowd they are expecting or hoping for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last Purdue/IU dual in Mackey drew around 2000 fans to the best of my knowledge. That weekend, there were similar icy weather conditions to this one, so that definitely reduced turnout. I know they're hoping to have a bigger turnout this time, but we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgi369 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 @UncleJimmy Absolutely. https://www.purdueexponent.org/sports/mens/wrestling/article_ceeaa5a2-1b93-11e9-a84a-dbf1789515ce.html This was the quick recap, I'll probably also post a more in-depth version later this weekend.
