In Session 2 on Thursday, OSU got off to a good start with comfortable wins by Daton Fix and Nick Piccininni. Piccininni majored a pretty solid wrestler in Elijah Oliver, and Fix won 9-3 over Matthew Schmitt.
But then Kaid Brock dropped the first bout of the round for OSU as he fell to No. 2 seed Joey Mckenna from Ohio State 14-1.
With no entry at 157 and first round losses for the Cowboys there was a bit of a break before Jacobe Smith came up to wrestle Mikey Labriola from Nebraska at 174. Though seeded lower Labriola beat Smith in their only prior match.
