Cowboys rekindle winning habits for 31st wrestling crown

The NCAA News

Johnny Thompson ended his collegiate wrestling career with a meager 2-2 career record against Minnesota's Ryan Lewis.

In NCAA title matches, however, Thompson owns the rivalry, and his latest victory helped Oklahoma State win its 31st Division I Wrestling Championships team title March 22 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Thompson beat Lewis in the 133-pound final for the second straight year, and teammate Jake Rosholt won the 184-pound title as the Cowboys won their first championship since 1994 and extended their NCAA record for overall titles. Iowa is a distant second with 20 team titles.

"This is great for our program," Cowboys coach John Smith said. "The kids really needed this."

Minnesota, the two-time defending champion, finished second, 38 1/2 points behind the Cowboys. Oklahoma was third and Lehigh finished fourth.

"You're disappointed. You don't come here to place second," Minnesota coach J Robinson said. "You start accepting second, there's something wrong. At one time, I would look at second as great. After you've won a couple of times, it's different."

Thompson, a junior who had been 0-2 against Lewis in regular-season matches, scored a third-period takedown against his senior rival and held on for a 5-3 decision.

"I feel like I had a little more to prove, because he beat me last," Thompson said. "I wanted a little bit of revenge, and what better place than the national championship match?"

Rosholt scored five takedowns in a 13-5 decision over Missouri's Scott Barker to win the 184-pound title.

Oklahoma State clinched its championship even before the finals began, padding its lead over the Gophers with a strong showing in the consolation rounds.

"You win 10 out of 12 matches on Saturday, you win national titles," Smith said. "That's the day to make it count."

The Cowboys got third-place finishes from 197-pound Muhammed Lawal and 174-pound Chris Pendelton.

"It was a big relief knowing we had already captured the team title," Thompson said. "It wasn't resting on my shoulders. That took the pressure off."

Of the six 2002 champions at this year's meet, Thompson was the only one to repeat.

Minnesota's Jared Lawrence, the defending champ at 149 pounds, lost, 10-8, in his championship rematch with Arizona State's Eric Larkin. The other four returning champions were eliminated earlier.

Damion Hahn was the only one of Minnesota's three finalists to win, scoring a takedown with three seconds left for a 5-4 decision over top-seeded Jon Trenge of Lehigh.

"When there's time on the board, there's still time to wrestle," said Hahn, who went down, 4-3, when he gave up an uncontested escape midway through the third period. "I guess I wanted to make it dramatic."

Two wrestlers won titles for Oklahoma. Top-seeded freshman Teyon Ware took down Northern Iowa's Dylan Long 18 seconds into overtime of their 141-pound match for a 6-4 decision. Robbie Waller beat unseeded Carl Fronhofer of Pittsburgh, 7-2, for the 174-pound title.

"I knew I could be a national champion, but I also knew it would take a lot of work," said Ware, who celebrated his win by doing backflips across the mat.

Top-seeded heavyweight Steve Mocco of Iowa finished undefeated with an 8-3 decision over Kevin Hoy of Air Force. Other champions were Cornell's Travis Lee at 125 pounds, Michigan's Ryan Bertin at 141 and Illinois' Matt Lackey at 165.

Lackey led Lehigh's Troy Letters, 4-3, late in their match when he executed the day's boldest takedown, sweeping his foot behind the Lehigh wrestler's left knee and putting Letters flat on his back to seal a 6-3 decision.

"I wasn't even looking for it," Lackey said. "All of a sudden I saw him real heavy on (the leg). I hit it, and he wasn't ready for it."
