If somebody had told me as I was walking into the Scottrade Center on Thursday morning that Oklahoma State would have 8 All-Americans, and still finish in third place in the team race, I would have thought that you were crazy. That many All-Americans has won the tournament for nearly every team that has accomplished it. That many All-Americans ties a school record for Oklahoma State.
Unfortunately that is exactly what happened. Oklahoma State finished third in the team race, and had 8 wrestlers finish in the top 8 and achieve All-American status.
Nick Piccininni had an incredible tournament.
