A total of 18 Cowboys made the trip to Fort Hays State University to wrestle in the Bob Smith Open this weekend. Here’s how it went.
The Champs
OSU crowned four champs at this tournament. Jonce Blaylock (157), Colt Denney (165), Travis Wittlake (174), and Anthony Montalvo (184).
Montalvo was possibly the most dominant wrestler in the entire tournament. He picked up a second period fall, a tech fall, then two first period falls on his way to a title. And he did it at a fairly decent weight.
Two of Montalvo’s pins came over guys that knocked off fellow Cowboy, and Greco world team member, Bear Hughes.
