LARAMIE, Wyo. – Utah Valley wrestling had four take home titles on Sunday at the Cowboy Shootout at the University of Wyoming. No. 29
Haiden Drury won one of the 141-pound divisions, going 2-0 on the day.
Jacob Carson,
Kael Bennie, and
Jack Forbes also won their divisions.
Forbes finished the tournament 4-1, with one of the larger pools for the round-robin style competition. He opened the day with an 18-2 tech fall over Wyoming's Winston McBride but fell in his second-round match by an 8-5 decision to Kevin Zimmer (Wyoming). Forbes quickly bounced back and won by a major decision in his third match, and after his opponent took a medical forfeit, he capped the day with a tech fall over Lane Catlin of Wyoming by a 19-3 final.
Bennie finished 1-1 and had one opponent in his pool. He opened the day with a 3-0 decision over Tyce Raddon, but the UVU redshirt's day was cut short with a medical forfeit before the second contest. The day's final match between the two Utah natives was declared a no-contest.
In his opening match of the day, Carson fell by a 4-1 decision to Arizona State's Tristan Mascarenas before he had a bye in the second round. The day ended on a positive note for the UVU freshman as he pinned Wyoming's Dylan Catlin in 42 seconds.
Trevor Frank and
Hunter Morse wrestled to second-place finishes; Frank, who competed in two different pools, finished the day 3-2. Two of his three victories were by fall before his day concluded with a 5-0 decision over Seamus Casey of Wyoming. Morse finished 1-1 on the day in the three-person 184-pound division. He defeated
Radi Stafford (UVU) in his opening match before falling to Ethan Ducca (Wyoming) in his final match.
