Several other returning EMU Open champions are nationally ranked this season, including John Cox (Navy - 149), Eric Neil (CMU - 157), and Kenny Robertson (Eastern Illinois - 174).

Eastern Michigan's season gets underway on SaturdayYPSILANTI -- The 2005-06 wrestling season will get underway Saturday, November 5, with the Eastern Michigan University Open in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The tournament attracts over 200 wrestlers and has become a major "coming out" for many top ranked collegiate wrestlers. This year looks to continue that trend. Several NCAA Division I All-Americans and over 30 wrestlers current ranked nationally will open their seasons at Bowen Field House. Among the top ranked teams that will bring a full complement of wrestlers to the tournament are Edinboro, Navy and Purdue. Although actual entrants are still coming in, it is expected that wrestlers from Michigan, Michigan State, Central Michigan, and Indiana will be among the competitors as well.
