A day after wrapping up four duals at the Loosebrock Duals, the Barton Community College wrestling team returned to the mats Saturday with a productive showing at the Service Salute Open in Atchison, Kansas, placing five individuals and combining for a 23-23 record on the day.
The Cougars were led by a pair of third place finishers, Brennen Pfannenstiel (149-pounds) and Logan Buchanan (285). Pfannenstiel went 3-1, highlighted by two falls including a third-place pin in just 1:05 over Otero's Kevin Cisneros.

Freshman Kike Yanez (125) battled to a fourth-place result behind two early pins, while Shane Todd (133) finished fifth with a 4-2 mark that included a pair of falls. S'Ron Hill (184) rounded out Barton's placers with a fifth-place showing after a solid 3-1 day featuring both a major decision and tech fall.
The Cougars' balanced effort also saw five additional wrestlers contribute match victories throughout the day.
