The North Dakota State Bison came to Laramie looking for a win and to boost their #22 ranking. Today was also senior day for the Cowboys who were honoring five Cowboy wrestlers who were here before Mark Branch arrived in Laramie. These guys were part of Steve Suder&#8217;s last recruiting class. LJ Helbig, Alfonso Hernandez, Kasey Garnhart, McCade Ford, and Michael Poulos were honored before the dual tonight for their commitment to Cowboy wrestling for the last 5 years. Garnhart and Poulos are the only Wyoming natives from that class, Garnhart from Ten Sleep, Poulos from Laramie.<\/p>\n<p>The bright spot of the dual today was a huge upset win for Tyler Cox who was unranked going into the match and defeated #6 Trent Sprenkle of the Bison, 7-2. It was the 50th win of Cox&#8217;s career at UW. Cox put himself in good position today for WWC seeding. #13 Andy McCulley earned a win via pin today by taking down NDSUs Tanner Carlisle. In a big win tonight LJ Helbig ended his home dual career with a win over Kurtis Julson at 174, 3-2. Alfonso Hernandez kept on rolling with a 7-4 win over Kallen Kleinschmidt. Hernandez is the 4th ranked wrestler in his weight class nationally.<\/p>\n<p>With the Pokes losing this dual to the Bison, 22-15, they will fall to 2-1 in WWC action. They will be back on mat Wednesday night in Greeley to take on Northern Colorado. The dual starts at 7:00pm in Butler-Hancock Pavilion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time this season the Wyoming Cowboy wrestlers lost a WWC dual, and only the second WWC dual loss in Mark Branch&#8217;s time at Wyoming.
