Some of the scores are very misleading as some of the matches were closer than indicated. I know that 125, 174 and 184 were all closer than what the score shows from a competitive standpoint.

Wall at 125 appeared to have a takedown early on in the match, but it wasn't rewarded.

Chenoweth was only down 8-5 early in the 3rd following an escape, but got caught in a funky scramble and gave up the 2 and 3nf. There was a point where he reversed and had Hess on his back, but alas no points given. It was a pretty good match with some great scrambles.

Johnson had a very questionable call go against him on a peterson granby. Didn't look like anything was secure but Meredith got 2 reverse and 2 nf criteria. Meredith got a takedown in the 3rd to make it 9-6 as a final.

Other notes:

Duffendack did a pretty good job early with Jones, but just gave up a situation where he got nabbed into a tight cradle from neutral and couldn't break the hands before the fall.

McGrew got put in a banana split for the fall, and I'm hurting from it.

Jenlink looks like a 184lb guy compared to Leadingfox. Love the heart and commitment to the sport he has, but seems very small at HWT.

Swayz,

Who dosn't look like an 184 pounder next to LeadingFox??? You should be at Thanksgiving dinner with the entire family The whole Tribe is his size. How did he look? Did you get a chance to talk with him???

Of course I got a chance to talk with the big guy. I was the guy that took him on his visit many moons ago at UCO, and we've kept in touch through all of our hardships we've endured. There was some cousin of his there that was pretty hot. I talked with A.J. as well, I've seen Josh eat for 3 hours at a buffet once! LOL

NEWMAN WINS BCU INVITE, LOGAN QUALIFIES FOR NATIONALS

Briar Cliff University freshman Jordaryl Logan went 3-0 and won the 184-pound title at today’s Briar Cliff Invitational, held at the Newman Flanagan Center, on the college’s campus. Logan qualified for nationals with the victory, becoming the fifth Briar Cliff wrestler to qualify for March 3-4 event, which will be held at the Tyson Events Center, in Sioux City, Iowa. In his first round match, Logan defeated York’s Chris Fowler by technical fall (19-0). He then defeated Morningside’s Bob Seger, 5-2 and Newman’s Nathan Brenner, 4-0. Logan improved his record to team-best 23-16 on the season. Briar Cliff sophomore Jeff Miller (125), junior Jason Kruse (184) and junior Jon Carlson (HWT) all finished fourth. Miller, 141-pounder Art Clark, 174-pounder Joe Rodman and Carlson have already qualified for nationals.

Five of the seven teams in the tournament had at least one champion during the event. Morningside wrestlers won three weight classes; 141 (Jake Thomas), 165 (Joe Keleher) and heavyweight (Matt Kastl). Newman, Northwestern and York each had two champions, while host Briar Cliff had one. Newman edged Morningside in the team scoring, 174.50 to 166.00. Northwestern was third with 106, while York was one spot back with 60. Waldorf (49), Briar Cliff (45.50) and Minnesota West (15.50) round out the team scores.

Johnson and Chenoweth both make the National rankings at 8th in the recent poll. Newman University debuts as a team in the 17th spot.

Chenoweth has only lost 4 matches (Malloy FHSU, Hess UCO, Snider UCO, and the Northwestern Iowa wrestler)

Yea Curtis!!

Yea Curtis!!

Congrats Curtis, you move up a weight and move up in the rankings.... good choice. Also I thought your record was 32-4?

He loses some of those wins off his record because of the 4year v. NJCAA rule. If you attend a 4 year program and compete v. NJCAA your wins and losses don't count (It is viewed as an exhibition for the 4 year schools). However if a NJCAA guy were to beat him or lose to him it would go on the NJCAA guy's record...very weird rule but the truth.

Can a wrestler still qualify for Nationals in NAIA through other qualifying tournament besides Regionals?

Yes! Newman had 9 qualifiers coming into this tournament. You can qualify on % win loss record as long as it's above 63% or something like that. Also if you place in the top 1/4 of a tournament. Thus if there are 1-7guys you must take 1st. 8-11 you must finish top two and so on...
