On-line Portal

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Oregon State fielded a team of seven at the Cliff Keen Tournament in Las Vegas today. Unfortunately, the tournament has come to an end for all seven.

The seven who wrestled today were 133 Devan Turner, 141 Jack Hathaway, 149 Kurt Mode, 157 Hunter Willits, 174 Myles Terry, 184 Seth McLeod and 285 Cody Crawford. All Beavers won at least one match before being eliminated. Cody Crawford lasted the longest in the tournament.

FloWrestling is covering the tournament, including live video for subscribers. Their results are not recorded as simply as TrackWrestling's, making it too difficult to copy them here for you. You can view results at the FloArena. Using the tabs at the top of the page to view either brackets or find information under "Teams & Competitors".

The article at osubeavers.com has more details. You can find more tidbits from during the day along with a few photos and a video at the Beaver Wrestling Twitter account. Scroll down the page to read comments and see photos.

The Beavers are off now to finish finals for Fall Term. Their next action will be at the Joe Wells Classic at University of Michigan on Sunday, Dec. 10. in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Go Beavs!

One of George Masons wins came as a forfeit in the 125-pound weight class.

The Beavers ended the day in 11th place with Corey Griego taking home a first-place finish in the 197-pound weight class. Cody Crawford (285) and Seth Mcleod (184) both finished in fifth place.
