Outside the Box: Overall, I'm very happy with the guys performance over our last three competition days," Penn College coach Jamie Miller said. "The first weight cut back from break is always hard. We've had two workouts a day for the last week and a half. By the end of today, guys were exhausted but still battling through some really tough matches. We have a lot of confidence in this team right now. Still a lot of work to do but we are really proud of the effort from this group the last three trips.
