COLUMBIA — Forty-nine athletes showed up for one of the first Hickman wrestling practices this season. They crammed in to the small practice area above the locker rooms in the school's swimming facility. The situation has Kewpies coach J.D. Coffman thinking about holding split session practices in order to accommodate the numbers. Coffman said he usually begins a season with about 30 to 35 individuals.
