Oklahoma State University Athletics
Dieringer, Team USA Set for Freestyle World Cup
April 06, 2018 | Cowboy Wrestling
STILLWATER – Former Oklahoma State wrestler Alex Dieringer will travel to Iowa City, Iowa this weekend to compete for Team USA in the UWW Senior Men's Freestyle Wrestling World Cup on Friday and Saturday. Making his second career World Cup appearance, Dieringer will look to help the United States bring home its first World Cup team title since 2003.
Â
The two-day event will be divided into three pool-play sessions. The winners of each pool will meet in the gold-medal match on Sunday afternoon. The United States is in Pool A with Japan, Georgia and India. Pool B consists of teams from Azerbaijan, Cuba, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
Â
Dieringer is coming off a strong string of performances to begin the year, including taking home Outstanding Wrestler honors last weekend at the Bill Farrell International in New York City where he rolled through the 79kg bracket with dominant wins over World No. 5Â at 74 kg Daniyar Kaisanov (Kazakhstan) and 2016 Olympian Zelimkhan Khadjiev (France) on his way to the title.
Â
It marked his second win of 2018, as he also took home gold at the International Ukrainian Memorial in February.
Â
This weekend's event will be streamed on Trackwrestling.com and broadcast live on NBC Sports Group. See below for complete event and broadcast schedules.
