For the second consecutive season, Keegan O’Toole entered the NCAA Championships as the favorite to win a third individual national title and saw that pursuit end in a rematch against a familiar foe.
It was David Carr of Iowa State in 2024, and now Oklahoma State’s Dean Hamiti in 2025. O’Toole defeated both wrestlers in those respective conference championships but fell short at nationals, losing 4-1 in sudden victory to Hamiti Saturday night.
The loss secured a 14th place finish for Mizzou at the championships with 32 team points, the team’s lowest finish since 2014, when the Tigers also placed 14th.
