Session I Complete!

Session I at the Scottrade Center is complete and the Beavers are sitting in a 5-way tie for 16th with 5 points overall! A good start to the weekend!
Both of Oregon State's seeded wrestlers, 125 Ronnie Bresser III and 184 Taylor Meeks won their matches, Bresser by decision and Meeks by Major Decision. We had two upset victories - both 174 Joe Latham and 197 Cody Crawford defeated their seeded opponents. Latham beat the #4 seed by decision 6-4, and Cody Crawford knocked off the #12 seed in tie-breaker overtime! Way to go guys!! Congratulations to Ronnie, Taylor, Joe and Cody!! Keep it rolling tonight!

All seven wrestlers are still alive in the brackets, as 133 Jack Hathaway, 157 Alex Elder and 165 Seth Thomas dropped into the Consolations and will be up this evening to get another shot at progressing. Bresser, Latham, Meeks and Crawford also wrestle tonight in the next step of the Championship bracket.
I forgot to mention earlier that TrackWrestling is also covering the tournament. You can find the link to Track here. Go to the top right side of the page under Division 1 and click on "tournament link".

One way we found to work well is to use Track's dashboard to see who is coming up next and which mat they will be on. Then you can quickly change to the correct mat on ESPN3.

Here are the morning's results for the Beavers (from TrackWrestling):
