Thanks to our Senior Class!

Now that the tournament only has the finals to go it is time to say goodbye to four fine young men who did their best for OK State. Eddie Klimara who did not go out the way he wanted but he was an AA and should have been AA in OKC except for a bad call by the refs. Thanks for coming to OK State and good luck in the future.
Austin Marsden, A 2 time AA at Heavyweight and who won more than 100 matches in his career. I complained a lot about his lack of offense in many matches but he found a way to win more than 100 times which not many wrestlers can say. He was an All-American again and deserves to be honored for that.
Brian Crutchmer who overcame serious operations to wrestle for us and while not as successful as his brother he was a credit to our team and provided good experience and skill in the wrestling room.

Alex Dierenger who is in a class all of his own. Great work ethic, great strength and competitive spirit. As John says he will go down as one of the top five wrestlers at OK State of all time. He will leave a huge hole next year even if we replace him with a very good wrestler in Rogers or Marsteller.
I wish them all great success in their future careers.

LETS GO POKES!!!
