Season starts in three weeks with a tournament at Oklahoma City University...Sounds like there's not going to be an Orange/Black match this year, so everybody needs to plan to hit this tournament to see the entire Cowboy squad in action!

Even though it's still dated 2008-2009, the new wrestling roster is up on www.okstate.com.

Former Oklahoma State standout Coleman Scott won a silver medal at 60 kg (132 pounds) at the Ion Corneanu Memorial Championships, Aug. 22-23, in Pitesti, Romania. Scott defeated Andrei Prepelita of Moldova and Mehmet Yozgot of Turkey to reach the finals, where he was beaten by George Bucur of Romania. Bucur was fifth in the European Championships this year.

Just a little something to remind everyone what Cowboy wrestling is all about!

Results are in from Poland...Competing in the Ziolkowski International, Clayton Foster won his first match at 96 kilos (211.5 lbs.) by forfeit but lost his second to a hometown favorite, Radoslaw Baran of Poland, 2-0, 1-1, 1-1.

While most OSU students are partying and enjoying their last days of freedom before starting class next week, Cowboy wrestler Clayton Foster is in Poland to represent the United States in an international freestyle tournament. It's not all about wrestling, however. The team traveled to Auschwitz to view firsthand what remains of N**i atrocities. Competition is scheduled for Thursday and Friday.

Chris Perry came back to win two matches in the repechage (wrestlebacks), beating Jiri Pasek of the Czech Republic, 10-0, 3-0 and Ville Tapani Heino of Finland, 1-0, 5-2. In the match for the bronze medal, he lost to Dato Marsagishvili of Georgia. Dom Bradley, University of Missouri heavyweight, won gold. With Ellis still around, looks like the Tigers will have a tough problem at heavyweight this year!
