Poke Wrestling Today

[American Horse]

Wrestling team is battling for spots in the NCAA championships today. It looks like all but McCulley, Friseth, and Stroh will have to win trny. (or hope for a wildcard) to qualify. Good luck and wrestle "Cowboy Tough!"

[WestWYOPoke]

After the first round, 7 of Wyo's 10 guys advanced via win or bye.

Cox (125 lbs.) just won his 2nd round match 6-5. Looked a little lethargic on his feet but was a BEAST on top!

[WestWYOPoke]

6 of the 10 are into the Championship match. Cox, Mendenhall, McCulley, Friesth, Stroh and Woods all wrestle tonight for the chance to go to the NCAA's.

Wyoming has own last 4. They should pull this out, but it's gonna be a battle

[MrTitleist]

Cox is a champion!

[WestWYOPoke]

Losses for Mendenhall, McCulley, and Friesth. Stroh and Woods still to go.

[Wyo2dal]

This is going to require a strong finish, Might even need major falls to pull this win out.

Stroh beat Julson 8-5 Dec

[WestWYOPoke]

Wins for Stroh and Woods. Should put 3 guys to NCAAs, maybe more if someone got 2nd in a weight class with 2 spots. Looks like North Dakota State is going to take the team title though.

NDSU 71-66.
Final ndsu 74-66 wyoming

This is some intense wrestling. .I'm really impressed with both squads.

Winning this doesn't get a team into nationals duals does it?

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering what happened in that tourney. From what I have been reading, UW has a young team. Both the Fargo school and UW seem to dominate this conference. Wonder if UW will get that invite to the Big 12 in wrestling?
