Three In Semifinals As OSU Wrestling
Places Fifth After Day One In Tennessee
CHATTANOOGA,
Tenn. –
Mike Mangrum, Scott Sakaguchi and Clayton Jack are all in the semifinals at the
Southern Scuffle as the Oregon State wrestling team is fifth after one day of
competition.
Additionally,
Chad Hanke, who is an Olympic redshirt this season, is one of four
semifinalists at heavyweight, joining Jack. Mangrum is one of four at 141
pounds and Sakaguchi is a semifinalist at 149 pounds.
All
told, of the 13 wrestlers with OSU ties originally entered, seven are still
active for the fifth-place Beavers, who have 66.5 team points. Penn State is
first (119.5 points), followed by No. 2 Minnesota (110.5), No. 3 Missouri (82)
and No. 4 Cornell (80). OSU wrestlers are 3-2 in bouts against opponents from
the top four squads.
Mangrum
registered a 4-0 mark on Sunday to pace the Beavers; he was the only OSU
wrestler to accumulate four wins, and in the process, improved to 22-2 on the
year. He picked up two pins and two major decisions and will open against
Virginia’s Nick Nelson on Monday in a semifinal matchup.
Sakaguchi
has the chance to post his highest finish since taking first at the Best of the
West in the opening weekend of the season. He went 3-0 at 149 pounds on Sunday,
improving to 21-4 this season. Sakaguchi takes on Frank Molinaro of Penn State
in the semifinal opener Monday; the two have not met this season.
Jack,
meanwhile, kept his perfect record intact with a 3-0 mark, improving to 23-0
this season. He moved to the semifinal round with a 10-1 major decision victory
over Cornell’s Maciej
Jochym. Jack opens against Penn State’s Cameron Wade on Monday. Wade is
ranked eighth nationally while Jack is fourth.
A
win would push Jack into the championship bout, and he could face Hanke, who
also went 3-0. However, wins by both would most likely feature a forfeit on
behalf of Hanke as was the case in Reno two weeks ago. Hanke will square off
against Minnesota’s Anthony Nelson in the semifinals.
The
four highlighted OSU’s day Sunday but three other Beavers are still alive
for third in the consolation brackets.
Pat
Rollins lost his opening bout but responded with three consecutive decisions at
125 to advance to Monday’s competition. He is now 18-9 this season.
Rollins will continue his quest for third Monday against Penn State’s
Nicholas Megaludis.
Garrett
Drucker is also alive after going 3-1, improving to 14-4 at 133 pounds. He
opened with a 13-3 major decision over Indiana’s Joe Duca, then, after
losing by a pin, went 2-0 via a pin and major decision. Drucker opens against
Hofstra’s Jamie Franco on Monday.
The
last of the three in the consolation round is John Tuck at 184 pounds. Tuck
went 3-1 Sunday to improve to 12-10 this season. He picked up a pin and two
decisions and will square off against Missouri’s Mike Larson on Monday.
Four
other Oregon State wrestlers competed on Sunday. They included: James Roberts
(0-2 at 133 pounds), RJ Pena (1-2 at 157 pounds), Cody Weishoff (1-2 at 165
pounds) and Joe Latham (0-2 at 165 pounds). Taylor Meeks was entered at 197
pounds but forfeited twice.
Oregon
State continues competition at the two-day Scuffle on Sunday.
