Wrestling teams from all over the country met in St. Charles Saturday for the Second Annual Joe Parisi Open, hosted by the Lindenwood Lions. A number of Lion wrestlers fared well in the tournament, including Jake Landals (184 lbs.) and Jacob Janes (141 lbs.)

In the semis, Janes fell to eventual runner-up Eric Wilson of Missouri.
