A group of college wrestlers from Wyoming faced their toughest opponent yet over the weekend. Kendell Cummings and Brady Lowry - wrestling teammates at Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming - were mauled by a grizzly bear Saturday while antler hunting.
The young men were released from a Billings, Montana hospital this week convinced “someone out there is looking out for me and Kendell,” Lowry told CNN affiliate KSL. Lowry was the first one the grizzly attacked, he told CNN. While making his way back to his car alongside Cummings, Lowry said he noticed bear marks on the ground. Just as he began to point them out to his friend, he “started hearing crashing coming through the tree.”
Lowry said he only had time to yell “Bear! Bear!” before the grizzly tackled him, causing him to fall about five feet off a small ledge. “It started chomping on me pretty good. It got a hold of my left arm, it was shaking me around, broke my left arm.”
Cummings tried to get the bear’s attention by yelling and throwing things at it and when that didn’t work “he jumped down and grabbed the bear … and yanked it off me.”
Then the bear came for Cummings.
