Kent State's nationally ranked wrestling team held its wrestle-offs this morning to determine its lineup for the start of the season.
Here's a quick look at how things turned out:
133
Freshman Jake McCombs defeated freshman Tyler Small, 4-2.
174
Redshirt freshman Brandonn Johnson defeated fifth-year senior Chris Estep in overtime.
184
Redshirt sophomre Casey Newberg defeated redshirt sophomore Keith Witt, 3-2.
285
Redshirt junior Brendan Barlow defeated freshman Tyler Obringer, 15-3.
Notable: Matt Cathell did not make weight. Cathell transferred to Kent State from Delaware State, where he was a two-time NCAA qualifier. Though he was nationally ranked as high as ninth, he had some troubles at KSU last season. This certainly doesn't help his cause.
