These two athletes are both household names in the sport of collegiate wrestling, both in the NAIA and beyond. They both shared their stories on Ol' Red during an interview at halftime of the Doane football game against Northwestern this year following excellent performances this summer, where both Rodriguez and Beauperthuy won medals competing on the international stage in their respective disciplines. 

Up next, the Doane men will compete in the GPAC Duals at Concordia on November 26 before joining the Tiger women for the Conner/Oppenheim Doane Open on December 7 in Crete.
