GREAT FALLS — The Providence men's wrestling team features seven athletes currently ranked as top-25 competitors across all weight classes — two of which are ranked in the top three, and the duo is a pair of brothers.

Sawyer and Hunter "Pig" Hobbs currently hold NAIA rankings of No. 3 and No. 1 in the 184- and 157-pound weight classes, respectively. The two have been competing alongside one another their whole lives.

"Every single day growing up, we'd wrestle," Sawyer, a senior, said Wednesday at UP's wrestling facility. "I'd start on my knees and he'd be standing up and I'd have to go easy, and then ends up I'm going as hard as I can and next thing you know he beats me half the time.

"Ever since we were like 4 or 5, 6 years old, it's always been competitive."
