Starter INDIANOLA — Sophomore Caleb Brus of Creston emerged as a starter last season for Simpson College’s wrestling team, and is listed as the varsity 141-pounder as the 2008-09 campaign begins Saturday at the Knox Invitational in Galesburg, Ill. Brus was second on the team in victories last season with 22 (22-16), placing sixth in the Iowa Conference Tournament. “Caleb is a very dedicated student of the sport and is willing to do whatever it takes to get better every day,” said Simpson coach Clint Manny, who is assisted by former Creston/O-M assistant Drew Duff. “His level of commitment both during the off-season and in-season has been phenomenal. Caleb took his lumps early last year, but really came on late last year as a freshman. I look for him to make some serious noise at both the conference and national level this year.” Duff is working with former Martensdale-St. Marys wrestler John Bunch at the heavyweight position. Also on the team are former Winterset preps Calvin Barber (149) and Curtis Barber (165).
