LeBlanc was defeated in the quarterfinals by the #1 ranked Jake Herbert from Northwestern. He will now face Joshua Peterson from Binghamton. Winner moves on, loser wrestles for 7th place.

Leblanc pinned peterson! He will wrestle tomorrow for as high as 3rd and as low as 6th. He is our first All-American since the 90s.

Leblanc lost in overtime in the consolation semis. He lost to the wrestler who went on to take 3rd. Leblanc then wone his 5th place match! He finishes 5-2 at nationals.
This is exciting, Leblanc is a freshman!! He has the potential to be a future national champ if he continues to improve and do the right things. Martinez had an unlucky draw and lost to the 3rd place finisher in the wrestlebacks. I think if he had a more favorable draw, he too would be an All-American. Our best three wrestlers (leblanc, onufer, martinez) are freshman and we have a great class coming in (includes Tyler Cox).
Wyoming wrestling has the potential to be the best it has ever been in a few years. Go Pokes!!!!

Fantastic! A freshman All-American. Great news for the Cowboy wrestling program.
