RENO, Nev. – No. 5 Arizona State's Jason Tsirtsis led the way for the Sun Devils at the Reno Tournament of Champions, winning the title at 149 lbs, a tournament self-dubbed the "Toughest Tournament in the USA".
The tournament, founded in 1994, now includes junior, high school, and college portions and the college version has grown from a four-way college dual to a 16-team invitational.
Tsirtsis earned five straight wins to grab the 149 lbs title, defeating Stanford's Jake Berry and Wyoming's Jaron Jensen in the round of 32 and 16, respectively. In the quarterfinals, Tsirtsis captured his biggest win of the weekend, a 14-1 major decision over North Dakota State's Kyla Gliva.
