Alex Dieringer plans to follow in Coleman Scott's footsteps, chase Olympic dream in Stillwater

Oklahoma State senior Alex Dieringer didn't wasted any time after winning his third NCAA national championship focusing on his future goals.

Dieringer plans to compete for a 74 kg freestyle spot on the U.S. Olympic team at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials from April 8 to 10 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa.

It won't be easy for Dieringer. His weight classes features defending Olympic champion Jordan Burroughs, former four-time NCAA national champion Kyle Dake and two-time NCAA national champion and Dan Hodge Trophy-winner David Taylor.

But Dieringer knows what it takes to make the Olympics.
