SPRINGFIELD, MO. – The Kentucky Wesleyan College wrestling rolled through the Drury Open on Saturday. Both Gavyn Uribes and Nolan McKelvy placed in the event contested at Weiser Gym on the campus of Drury University. 
 
Uribes finished fourth at heavyweight, finishing with a 3-2 record on the day. Uribes won both of his first two matches, the first by pin fall in the opening period.
