PUEBLO, Colo. (February 14, 2026) - The Colorado State University Pueblo wrestling team closed out the regular season in winning fashion Saturday night, defeating New Mexico Highlands, 24-17, in front of their home crowd on Senior Night.

Calvin Bahl (Vancouver, Wash.),
Donn Greer (Soledad, Calif.),
AJ Gunn (Evergreen, Colo.),
Hunter Richardson (Page, Ariz.) and
Remington Winmill (Wendell, Idaho) all were recognized.
CSU Pueblo used bonus points and clutch decisions to secure the dual victory and build momentum heading into postseason.
The ThunderWolves claimed six victories on the night, highlighted by a fall at 184 from Greer over Michael Santos. He led 13-2 after the first period before scoring a take down in the second and gained control for the pin.
