The weekend has already proven to be crazy in the realm of collegiate wrestling, and the Penn State Open hasn't even started yet. The Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas has been a source of major upsets so far, and the finals haven't even been wrestled yet.
141: Hunter Stieber of Ohio State knocked off the returning national champ #1 Kellen Russell 6-5. To make things more exciting at this weight, 2011 finalist Borislav Novachkov was beaten by Oregon State's Michael Mangrum 4-3. In a rematch of last year's final, Russell beat Boris 3-3 TB in order to advance to the 3rd place match.
149: The top seed #3 Tyler Nauman out of Pitt was knocked off the the unranked number nine seed David Habat from Edinboro 5-2.
157: The second seed #7 Walter Peppelman lost by medical forfeit.
165: Another #1 went down when Nick Amuchastegui also lost by medical forfeit. I don't know the extent of the injury at this time.
BREAKING NEWS
Unrelated to the invitational. Last night Iowa downed Illinois in a dual meet, however #1 Matt McDonough was defeated by #15 Jesse Delago 11-7 OT. This is the first dual meet loss McDonough has ever suffered.
