Smith Takes Fourth at Cliff Keen

LAS VEGAS – No. 6/8 Jacob A. Smith earned his third consecutive podium finish at 197 pounds for the West Virginia University wrestling team at the 2016 Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational at the Las Vegas Convention Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Charleston, West Virginia, native finished fourth for the second straight season. Smith earned an eighth-place finish at the event in 2014.

“This tournament is a great indicator for the season,” WVU coach Sammie Henson said. “Obviously, we need to continue to work. Jake had some good success but isn’t where he wants to be.
