WICHITA, Kan. – The first-year men's wrestling program ended an incredible year with two outstanding first time performances from Trevor Marsman and Thade Radosa. Marsman went 2-2 and Radosa went 1-2 as they both were eliminated on day one just short of the placement matches for a chance at NAIA All-American. The two athletes combined for seven team points as the final team results will conclude tomorrow after all the placement matches are completed. Cornerstone has now concluded their year and will look to build on the strong foundation of the first-year program under Head Coach Chris Williamson.  
 
Trevor Marsman – 125lbs 
Trevor Marsman opened CU's action at NAIA Nationals with a tough match against defending national champion Brandon Orum from Life University. Marsman battled hard but was unable to record any points, falling by major decision, 11-0 to send him the consolation bracket.
 
In the consolation bracket, Marsman got a quick victory to stay alive in the championships with a pin at the 1:47 mark over Michael Chagnon a freshman from St. Ambrose. 
 
Again, in a win or go home situation, Marsman was able to get the victory in his third match of the day, with a 16-5 major decision victory over Ca'Ron Johnson the junior from Briar Cliff, dominating from start to finish with two two-point near falls and one four-point near fall in the match. 
 
Marsman picked back up in the evening session with a consolation match vs. Conner Diamond of Lindsey Wilson. He would escape every takedown he got put in quickly, but was unable to get Diamond down as he fell by decision, 14-7.
