GUNNISON, Colo. – For the 27^th time, Western State Colorado University wrestling will host the Tracy Borah Duals. The Borah Duals will be held this Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. in the Mountaineer Field House.
 
The Borah Duals will feature 16 duals on four mats between eight different teams. The duals will be split into four different rounds: 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. A complete schedule can be found on the Tracy Borah Duals Headquarters page.
 
Making the trip to Gunnison, Colorado on Saturday will be the United State Air Force Academy, California Baptist University, Colorado Mesa University, Minnesota State University – Mankato, New Mexico Highlands University, Simon Fraser University, and Southwest Minnesota State University.
 
Four of the eight programs participating are currently ranked nationally and Western is currently receiving votes in the poll. Cal Baptist is the highest ranked team entering the TBDs at ninth. Simon Fraser comes in at No. 19, while Colorado Mesa and Minnesota State – Mankato are tied at No. 23.
 
This will be the first duals of the season for the Mountaineers. Western will have four duals in total, facing MSU-Mankato, Southwest Minnesota State, Air Force and Simon Fraser.
