    Strong performance propels No. 21 Tuttle to KC Stampede title

    With across the board excellent performances, No. 21 Tuttle (Okla.) ascended to the top of the team standings at the Kansas City Stampede this past weekend at Hale Arena. The Tigers outlasted 39 other schools on the strength of ten wrestlers placing inside the top nine, including seven within the top five.

    Leading the 564.5 point effort were a pair of weight class champions, No. 5 Tanner Litterell (138) and No. 18 Brik Filippo (145). Cale Johnson (106) placed second, Rhett Golowenski (120) took third, Luke Surber (113) and Tanner Johnson (170) earned fourth, with Dustin Plott (152) finishing fifth.
