As a team, Stanford finished tied for second with Oregon State with 102.5 points. Wyoming won the team championship with 134 points. The Cardinal's second-place finish marks a program best, while its three finalists were also a school record.
Wilson, ranked 13th nationally, picks up his first tournament win of the season after finishing as the runner-up at the Roadrunner Open and taking third at the Keystone Classic in November. He recorded five wins on Sunday to improve to 15-3 overall.
Redshirt junior Evan Silver, who is No. 12 in the nation, was the runner-up at 125 pounds. He won four matches, including an 8-5 decision over No. 13 Ronnie Bresser of Oregon State before falling to ninth-ranked Tyler Cox of Wyoming, 3-1. He is now 8-1 on the year.
True freshman Isaiah Locsin also took second on Sunday. He went 4-1 with two falls in the tournament to improve to 6-3 overall. He fell to Oklahoma State’s Dean Heil, 12-6, in the finals.
Placing third in the tournament were 157-pounder Maxwell Hvolbek and heavyweight Nathan Butler. Hvolbek, who is now 11-6, was 5-1 overall and posted a major decision over 16th-ranked Sparty Chino of Ohio in the third-place match. Butler also turned in a 5-1 record in the tournament, including a 3-0 decision over No. 16 Tanner Harms of Wyoming and a 3-1 sudden victory over teammate Josh Marchok in the third-place bout.
Marchok, a redshirt sophomore heavyweight, finished fourth after falling to Butler in the third-place match. He also reached the semifinals by defeating Harms, 4-3, before dropping a major decision to Oklahoma’s Zach Merrill. Marchok is now 8-4 on the season.
Redshirt senior Garrett Schaner was the final Cardinal to place in the tournament, securing fifth place at 149 pounds. He was 5-2 in the tournament, posting two major decisions and edging freshman teammate Paul Fox, 11-10. He fell to Oregon State’s Jordan Henrickson in the consolation bracket before winning by medical forfeit over Boise State’s Josh Reyes.
