Lewallen Earns Big 12 Weekly Award
December 19, 2016 | Cowboy Wrestling
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State redshirt freshman Boo Lewallen has been named Big 12 Co-Wrestler of the Week, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
Lewallen went 5-0 at the Reno Tournament of Champions on Sunday, including a pair of major decisions, to bring home the 141-pound title. Competing in the first collegiate event of his career, Lewallen was also named the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler. The redshirt freshman, who sat out last season due to injury, capped off the event by knocking off seventh-ranked and last year's NCAA runner-up Bryce Meredith of Wyoming in a 7-3 decision.
Although Lewallen was competing as a non-counting member for Oklahoma State at the competition, the Cowboys brought home the team title with two other champions and a slew of medalists.
The Yukon, Okla., product joins teammates Jacobe Smith, Austin Schafer and Kaid Brock who have each won Big 12 weekly awards this season.
The Cowboys will be back in action Jan. 1-2 when they head to Chattanooga, Tenn., to compete at the Southern Scuffle.
