Dec. 11 was the end of Preston Weigel’s wrestling career.
That is what the Oklahoma State wrestling coaches thought. Weigel made his season debut Dec. 9 against Oklahoma when he defeated Ruston Duke by technical fall. Two days later, he tore his left quadricep in practice.
“Right when he tore his quad, we thought he was done,” Associate Head Coach Zack Esposito said. “We really thought he was done. We started shifting around our lineup to try and create something that was gonna give us the best chance at a trophy and competing at dual meets.”
Weigel’s torn quad was one in a long list of injuries he suffered while at OSU.
