Oklahoma State's Alex Dieringer, John Smith and the rest of the Cowboys will host North Carolina on Friday.
A trio of Cowboys will wrestle in Gallagher-Iba Arena for the final time Friday night when North Carolina (12-4) comes to Stillwater. Alex Dieringer and Eddie Klimara made their debuts in the 2012-13 season; Austin Marsden made his the season prior. Each made their GIA debuts on different dates, but they’ll conclude their home wrestling career together on senior night.
Coach John Smith has experienced it before. There comes a time in every collegiate athlete’s career when they have to hang it up because of injury or Thdepletion of eligibility.
