Cowboys Host Sooners in Second Round of Bedlam Wrestling
February 16, 2005 | Cowboy Wrestling
The Cowboys are currently 20-0 on the season after sweeping a pair of duals on the road from Hofstra and Lehigh last Sunday. OSU is 4-0 in the Big 12.
OSU currently has three wrestlers ranked at the top their weight class. Zack Esposito, Chris Pendleton and Steve Mocco are ranked No. 1 at 149, 174 and heavyweight, respectively.
It will be the final home dual for Pendleton, a senior from Lemoore, Calif. Four other Cowboy seniors will be honored. Ronnie Delk, Brett Munson, Clark Shouse and Mike Christian will all be honored during senior day festivities.
Delk has been a two year starter for the Cowboys, but has shared the position with Daniel Frishkorn this season. Munson has been a valuable part of the Cowboy wrestling program the last two years filling in for any position John Smith asked him to. Shouse and Christian have provided depth in the wrestling room during their time at Oklahoma State, wrestling when they were called on to do so.
It will also be a homecoming for more than 50 Cowboy wrestling greats. Honored in part of the ceremony will be Iowa State head coach Bobby Douglas who will receive this year's Gallagher Award, which is award to the wrestling alumnus who exemplifies spirit and leadership eminent in the tradition of champions.
This is the final dual for the Cowboys as they prepare for the Big 12 and NCAA Championships in March.
