Willie Parks (Garden Grove, Calif.) finished in second place at 184 pounds. Parks lost a tie-breaker by one point in the championship round. Park's opponent in the championship match was the No. 3 ranked wrestler in NCAA Div. I, the University of Illinois's Pete Friedl.
At 157 pounds, Ben Henderson (Federal Way, Wash.) won four straight matches and finished in second place. Henderson lost his championship match to 2003 national runner-up Alex Tirapelle, also from the University of Illinois.
At 141 pounds, Jimmy Rollins (Woodbury, N.J.) won 6 of 8 matches including 2 pins en route to a fourth place finish.
Terrence Almond (Pelham, Ga.) also finished in fourth place. Almond went 6-2 at 149 pounds.
Three Viking wrestlers were one match away from placing: Jacob Marquardt (285, Altoona, Iowa), Nick Wilkes (184, Onamia, Minn.) and Blair Alderman (197, Spokane, Wash.).
"This is one of the tougher open tournaments we attend. The CMSU features many of the nation's top wrestlers and more importantly some of the top NAIA teams- Lindenwood and Missouri Valley," said Assistant Wrestling Coach Richard Fergola. "Our guys wrestled very well Sunday, but we still have a lot of work to do."
Dana wrestling will host their first home dual of the season Friday night at 6 p.m. versus Bacone College.
