Headed that way right now with a kid. Plan on getting there around 8 in the morning then spending the day getting the last part of his weight off then relaxing till weigh in. Is anybody making the trip?
Upon perusal of the entrants at track wrestling I found 5 cowboys entered and they include:
Andrew Marsden 97kg; Anthony Collica 70kg; Eli Hale 57 kg; Tristen Moran 65kg; Austin Schafer 125kg.
Oklahomans in the Cadet freestyle included Jaryn Curry 69kg; Rhett Golowenski 50kg, Jack Karstetter 58kg; Austin Loza 69kg; Jon McGowan 63kg; Rodrick Mosley 65kg; Jet Taylor 54kg. Also noted that Cody Karstetter from North Carolina entered at 61kg. Sooners entered include Andrew Dixon,Brad Johnson, Hayden Hansen and Chris Moody.
So far in the University division Tristen Moran has two tech falls, Anthony Collica has two tech falls and he is seeded #2. Marsden and Schafer have yet to wrestle. In the Cadets Jet Taylor has two tf's. Jack Karstetter has two tf's, Rhett Golowenski lost 0-7 in his first match. Rod Mosley has two wins including a tech fall and Jaryn Curry has two wins including a tech fall.
Tristen Moran just lost 17-9 but was on the verge of tieing the match up 11-11 when the referee called the out of bounds when he had just leg-laced the opponent for two. Coaches complained but got no where and this took the oomph out of Tristen. Bad call in my opinion.
Better news in other weights as Eli Hale dec. Tim Lambert Nebraska 8-7 and Andrew Marsden dec. Collin Jensen Nebraska 6-3. Both wrestlers started for Nebraska last year.
In the Cadets Jet Tylor loses dec. 10-4 for his first loss. Jack Karstetter wins his 3rd straight match at 58kg with 8-8 criteria decision over Andrew Gamble, Mo. Rodrick Mosley now has a 4-0 record with two more wins including a tech fall. Jaryn Cirry is 2-0.
Eli Hale wins again dec. Ronzel Darling of the Harvey Twisters 8-4. Andrew Marsden loses by Fall to John Rizzo of Pitt. Austin Schafer tech fall over Benjamin Stone of Wisconsin 11-0/
Anthony Collica goes 4-0 with a 10-0 tech fall win over Ken Theobold of the Scarlet Knights wrestling club. Watched the last period of the Marsteller/Chad Pyke match. Marsteller went ahead in the 2nd but was clearly gassed and gave up easy takedowns. At one point he did not look like he was going to make it back to the center of the mat. However leading 11-10 he countered a shot by Pyke for a takedown and a fall. I know it is summer but his conditioning problems look the same.
Austin Schafer lost a 2-2 criteria decision at heavyweight to 3X NCAA All-American Ty Walz of Virginia tech. Walz finished 4th in 2016. I believe we might have found our heavyweight for next year. Eli Hale lost his match to Joseph DeAngelo of Blue and White wrestling 10-4 but he and Schafer are still in the consolations.
Anthony Collica was pinned by Kemerer from Iowa in the Quarters. Tristan Moran had a
Austin Schafer has a 13-0 tf win over Thomas Haines Ohio State. Moran, Hale and Marsden lose for the second time and only Collica and Schafer are left in the consos. No one on the Oklahoma Cadets made it to the championship round.
Anthony Collica dec. Alfred Bannister 7-5. He will face the winner of Straw v. Heffernan to get to the consolation semis. Austin Schafer dec. Brett Dempsey of American 7-4 and will now face Michael Kroells of Minnesota.

Schafer loses to 2X NCAA AA Michael Kroells 10-4. Schafer was the aggressor but on three occasions Kroells countered Schafer's single leg attack into takedowns by using superior size.
Collica loses to Colin Hefernan 7-6 and then wins by inj. default over Marcus Scheidel for 7th.
