KEARNEY, Neb. – November 20, 2021 – Two Chadron State College wrestlers placed and one defeated a highly ranked opponent for the first time, at the Younes Hospitality Open at the University of Nebraska-Kearney on Saturday.
"It was great seeing our older and younger guys compete today," said CSC Head Men's Wrestling Coach
Brett Hunter. "We saw some good and some bad, and we expected to see that. This week, we will continue to grow and progress."
True freshman
Darwin Hull placed fifth in the Amateur bracket at 174, after posting two pins and two major decisions to get to the championship semifinal. After a pair of losses, his opponent in the fifth place match presumably ran into the match limit, and Hull was awarded the win.
The other placer was
Harrison Gocke at 149 pounds in Amateurs. He scored two falls, one major, and two decisions to go 5-1, but ran into his match limit after securing his placing to finish sixth, officially.
The big individual win of the day came in the Elite brackets at heavyweight, where CSC's
Mason Watt upset No. 5 Lee Harrington of Nebraska-Kearney. The match went scoreless through three minutes, before Watt started in the bottom position to begin the second period. He escaped in less than a minute, then took his opponent down three more times in the match to win an 8-5 decision.
Watt, who was injured after his second-round win by fall was previously 0-4 against the No. 1-ranked Lopers' varsity heavyweight.
Freshman
Keegan Gehlhausen was 5-1 at 174 pounds in the Amateur bracket, winning three of those matches by fall.
Kobe Lepe and
Rowdy Pfeil both went 4-2 in the Amateur brackets at 133 and 184 pounds, respectively.
Preston Renner went 3-2 in the Elite bracket at 165 pounds, while
Dean Neff,
Seth Simants, and
Terry Winstead were also 3-2 in their Amateur brackets.
Winstead's sole loss in a full, regulation-length match, before he was injured, was to the No. 7 junior college wrestler at 285 pounds, Devon Dawson from Pratt Community College.
CSC will return to the mats November 27, in Laramie, Wyoming, at the Cowboy Open next weekend.
