STILLWATER — Since the Cowboys started wrestling in Gallagher Hall in 1939, 550 teams have come in and wrestled the Cowboys; 500 of them have left in defeat.
Oklahoma State defeated South Dakota State 29-6 on Friday night to reach half a thousand dual victories in the building. The Cowboys are 500-44-6 in Gallagher-Iba Arena, a 91% winning percentage. After back-to-back losses to Northern Iowa and Iowa State last weekend, Friday’s dual starts a new streak for the Cowboys. It certainly isn’t the 67-dual winning streak between 1959 and 1967 in GIA or the 37-dual streak between 1939 and 1951.
