Unblemished
Of Oklahoma State's athletes who have started a dual, three are still unbeaten. No. 2 Jamal Parks is 24-0 and No. 3 Chris Perry is 20-0. No. 3 Alan Gelogaev, although he lost to Chad Hanke at the Reno Tournament of Champions, still boasts a 23-0 record because Hanke is taking an Olympic redshirt year and the bout does not count toward his record.
'Z' Makes SI's “Faces in the Crowd”
Heavyweight wrestler Alan Gelogaev was one of six athletes featured in the Feb. 13 edition of Sports Illustrated's “Faces in the Crowd” after picking up a pair of top-10 wins over Levi Cooper (Arizona State) and Matt Gibson (Iowa State). SI has been running the feature highlighting standout amateur athletes since 1956.
Oliver Picks Up Fourth Big 12 Honor
Oliver was named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week on Feb. 13 for his performance in the NWCA National Duals. He helped lead the Cowboys to the NWCA Mat Mayhem Stillwater region title as he downed two ranked opponents including a 7-3 decision over No. 2 Logan Stieber of Ohio State. Last season, Oliver became the first Big 12 wrestler to be honored three times in one season, making this his fourth career honor.
'Z' Best in the Big 12
Oklahoma State heavyweight starter Alan Gelogaev was selected as the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week on Jan. 23 for his pair of top 10 wins, including a 6-1 win over No. 9 Levi Cooper of Arizona State and a 13-1 major decision over No. 10 Matt Gibson of Iowa State. It was his first time to receive the award and the first honor for OSU this year.
Record Keepers
When Oklahoma State edged Iowa, 17-16, on Jan. 7, its win was much more than just upsetting the No. 1 team on their home mat in front of a sold out crowd. The Cowboys ended the Hawkeyes' unbeaten dual streak at 84, keeping their own record-streak of 84, set from 1959-66, tied for the best ever. OSU also bookended the Hawkeyes' streak, defeating them on Jan. 5, 2008, in their last loss before it began.
Welcome to the 100 Club, Mr. Parks
With his 5-0 championship performance at the Reno Tournament of Champions, OSU senior Jamal Parks became the 34th wrestler in school history to reach 100 career wins. The 149-pounder now holds a 113-22 record and ranks tied for 21st all-time at OSU in career wins.
Byers, Too
Although his record at Oklahoma State stands at 20-3, senior transfer Cayle Byers has acheived the same feat in his career. When his 84-18 mark at George Mason is included, Byers' career record sits at 104-21.
Jordan Fall-iver
What OSU 133-pounder Jordan Oliver has done so far this year is nothing short of remarkable. The junior's 18-1 record includes 14 falls (nine in the first period) and two technical falls. His pins:
11/25 Shayden Terukina Iowa State F;2:38
12/4 No. 10 David Thorn Minnesota F;2:16
12/11 Derek Geiges Oklahoma F;1:30

2/4 No. 15 McCormick Missouri F;2:43
Returning All-Americans
OSU has three of the nation's best wrestlers in 133-pounder Jordan Oliver, 149-pounder Jamal Parks and heavyweight Alan Gelogaev. Oliver is coming off of a perfect 29-0 season, winning the 2011 NCAA individual championship at 133 pounds. His record included 24 bonus-point wins and his 82.8 bonus-point win percentage was the fifth-highest single-season mark in Oklahoma State history. Parks earned All-America status for the first time last year with a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. He finished with a 30-5 overall record that included six wins over ranked opponents and three wins over eventual All-Americans. Gelogaev returns to the Cowboys lineup after taking a medical redshirt last year with a chest injury that forced him to miss the entire 2010-11 dual season. Before that injury, he earned All-America honors wrestling at 197 pounds in 2010, his first year to ever wrestle at the collegiate level. He placed seventh at that year's NCAA Championships.
NWCA All-Stars
The NWCA All-Star Classic wrapped up the 46th edition of the annual event on Nov. 21 in Tempe, Ariz. Cowboy wrestlers Jordan Oliver and Jamal Parks both put together impressive showings as each came home from the event with a win. Oliver took down one of the top wrestlers in the country, defeating third-ranked B.J. Futrell of Illinois, 8-7. Parks stormed past Arizona State's Joel Smith with a 17-4 major decision.

Blake Rosholt is the youngest of the Rosholt family. His older brother Jake was a three-time NCAA champion at OSU and another older brother, Jared, was a three-time All-American for the Cowboys. Older sister Jesyca was an all-Big 12 soccer player for Oklahoma State as well. Dallas Bailey's father, Leo, was a two-time All-American wrestler for the Cowboys in 1983 and 1986.
