Oklahoma State takes customary spot atop wrestling world

The NCAA News

Oklahoma State ended the suspense early, rolling to a 41 1/2 point lead before the championship round and then joining nine other schools in claiming individual crowns at the Division I Wrestling Championships March 18-20 in St. Louis.

Chris Pendleton claimed the Cowboys' only individual title with his victory at 174 pounds, but Oklahoma State also claimed points from two runners-up, two consolation-bracket winners, and a fifth- and seventh-place finish to roll-up 123 1/2 points and finish comfortably ahead of second-place Iowa's 82 points.

The team title is the Cowboys' second straight and 32nd overall -- the most by any team in any NCAA sport.

Oklahoma State grabbed the lead early, stretching that margin from six points after the quarterfinals to 36 1/2 points after the main-bracket semifinals.

Two defending individual champions -- two-time titlist Johnny Thompson at 133 pounds and Jake Rosholt at 184 -- fell short in bids to repeat but extended the Cowboys' team lead further by winning the consolation brackets in their weights.

The Cowboys placed three wrestlers in main-bracket championship matches, but top-seeded Tyrone Lewis lost a 5-2 match in the 165-pound class to Lehigh's Troy Letters, a runner-up at last year's tournament. Earlier, Oklahoma State's Zack Esposito lost a 9-3 decision at 149 pounds to Jesse Jantzen, who claimed Harvard's first individual title at the championships since 1938 and earned honors as the tournament's most outstanding wrestler.

Only one champion from last year's tournament successfully defended his crown, when Minnesota's Damien Hahn repeated at 197 pounds with a victory over Ryan Fulsaas, one of two Iowa wrestlers to reach championship finals.

But two other previous champions -- Greg Jones of West Virginia at 184 pounds and heavyweight Tommy Rowlands of Ohio State -- claimed their second individual titles.

Iowa won its other individual final when Cliff Moore defeated Matt Murray of Nebraska at 141 pounds. But Nebraska earlier became the first school to claim an individual title in the championship round when top-seeded Jason Powell won at 125 pounds.

Other schools claiming individual crowns were Iowa State with Zach Roberson's victory at 133 pounds and Stanford, which recorded its first individual title in the championships with Matt Gentry's 4-2 win over Ohio's Jake Percival. Both Gentry and Percival were undefeated through the season entering the match, and Gentry finished with a 41-0 record.

Lehigh and Ohio State finished tied for third with 77 1/2 points, while Nebraska finished fifth with 74 points.
