Corey Arndt overcame several injuries before finishing his college wrestling career on a high note in 1996-97. 
As a junior in 1994-95, Arndt won a match at the national tournament before suffering a separated collarbone while wrestling the defending champion. The injury required surgery and he missed the 1995-96 schedule. 
He returned the following season and had an 8-3 record at 167 pounds entering the holidays. When the Eagles’ 190-pounder left the team, Arndt moved to that weight. He went 18-2 during the remainder of the season, won the weight class at the West Regional Tournament and placed third at the National Tournament, where his only loss was to the eventual champion.
A native of Cozad, Arndt is a measurement technician with a petroleum firm at Gillette, Wyo.
