GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 23 • 30 because of the schedule and the events we pick up," Greene said. "We're not going away anytime soon." ENEKWECHI LEADS MEN AT BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS The Purdue men finished just 11th at the Big Ten Champi- onships, a number Greene guar- anteed would have been higher had Raheem Mostert competed. Mostert, who won titles in the 60-meter dash and 200-me- ter dash at the event last year, decided to focus his attention on preparing for the NFL this spring. "We thought we would have Raheem," Greene said. "With him, we're fifth overall because he's 20 points. Nothing is guar- anteed but he's head over heels better than everyone else in this league. It is what it is. We'll cor- rect those issues on the men's side going forward." Chuk Enekwechi carried the Boilermakers, scoring 16 of the team's 37 points. He took second in the weight throw 23.61m (77- 5.50) and shot put 18.84m (61- 9.75) to give him 37 points for his career at the Big Ten Indoor Championships. "Chuk's a warrior," Greene said. "Chuk's got a little twinge in his knee but he was still able to stand in the gap and cover for us. What he did was huge. To go second in shot, second in the weight … just the way he competed without being 100 percent." Next up for Enekwechi is the NCAA Championships on March 13, where Enekwechi currently stands as the No. 2 seed in the weight throw (24.39m), behind NCAA record holder Michael Li - hrman from Wisconsin (24.91m). "What we have to do be- tween now and then is get him pain-free," Greene said. j Links PurdueSports.com: Seniors lead the way as Boilers lock up fifth place at Big Tens (women's swimming) PurdueSports.com: Dias wins B1G title in 200 breaststroke; Purdue finishes fourth (men's swimming) PurdueSports.com: Boilermakers register Saturday sweep (men's tennis) PurdueSports.com: Purdue can't close out CSU Bakersfield in 11-inning loss (baseball) PurdueSports.com: No. 21 Boilermakers post 5-2 win at Iowa (women's tennis) PurdueSports.com: Snow cancels Frost Classic (softball) 2014-15 WRESTLNG RESULTS Date Opponent / Event Location Time/Result Nov. 8 Gold & Black Matches West Lafayette, Ind.
