    Oklahoma places seven wrestlers at Oklahoma Open

    NORMAN, Okla. -- The Oklahoma wrestling team crowned 5 individual champions and placed 7 wrestlers at the 36th annual Oklahoma Open Saturday in Norman.

    "I am very pleased overall and this was a good tournament for our young guys to grow up in and that is what these meets are for," said head coach Jack Spates.

    Sooners claiming individual titles were Zack Bailey (133), Will Rowe (157), Shane Seibert (165), Joshua Weitzel and Jeff James (Tie, 174), Joel Flaggert (197).

    "Overall I am very pleased with our performance," continued Spates. "Our showing in this event boads well for us as we prepare for two very, very challenging dual against the University of Central Oklahoma and Oklahoma State".

    As well as hosting the college portion of the Open the Oklahoma Open also has a High School and Junior High Open.

    "This tournament year in and year out continues to be a tougher tournament than the Oklahoma High School State tournament," Spates said. "Every division is competitive and tough and that makes it a great challenge for the young wrestlers."

    The Sooners wrestle their next home dual on Wednesday, Nov. 29, when the University of Central Oklahoma travels to the Howard McCasland Field House.
