Dieringer, Heil boost Cowboys to second

Dean Heil won his semifinal match at the NCAA Wrestling Championship on Friday in Madison Square Garden, pushing Oklahoma State to second in the team standings.

Oklahoma State wrestlers Dieringer and Heil sealed their spots in the NCAA Championship final with dominant victories in the semifinals Friday night.

Dominance is expected from Dieringer, who is on the hunt for his third national title. He’s also a man of his word. Dieringer handled three-seeded Daniel Lewis of Missouri at 165 pounds, exactly what Dieringer said he would do. Dieringer struggled against Lewis the first time they met during the season but eased past him Friday night.
