Oklahoma turned in several strong performances with seven teams earning Top 8 All-American finishes at the recent National Dual Tournament taking place at the Cox Business Center in Tulsa. The Junior Men’s teams earned four top 8 finishes with Oklahoma Red placing 5th in Freestyle and 8th in Greco while the Oklahoma Blue team placed 6th in both Freestyle and Greco. In the Junior Women’s Greco Dual Tournament, Oklahoma earned a 5th place finish. Also competing in Tulsa, the 14U Girls’ team earned two top-4 finishes with a 3rd place finish in Greco and a 4th place finish in Freestyle.
Led by Blanchard’s Lynn Horn, Oklahoma had seven wrestlers named to the All-Tournament Team during the week. To qualify for the All-Tournament Team, a wrestler had to go undefeated and record a minimum of five victories in the tournament. Horn was named to the All-Tournament Team in both Freestyle and Greco as she blitzed the field going 16-0 with an amazing 14 falls and one tech fall. In both tournaments, she led all wrestlers with the most falls in the least amount of time. In the Greco Tournament, she only needed 6:06 to record seven falls and needed just six more seconds in the Freestyle Tournament, earning seven falls in 6:12, giving her an incredible 14 falls in 12:18 for the week.
Edmond North’s Bella Williams was named to the Greco All-Tournament Team after recording an 8-0 record and not allowing a point in the tournament. Williams had five falls, an 8-0 tech fall win, 7-0 win and a win by forfeit. Stillwater’s Ayden Thomas also turned in a dominating performance in going 8-0 with one fall, six tech falls and a win by forfeit. In his six tech falls, Thomas outscored his opponents 65-2. Other All-Tournament selections were; Christopher Kiser (Ponca City) who went 7-0 with four tech fall wins. Edmond North’s Kody Routledge (6-0 with two tech falls), Devon Miller (Edmond North) who went 5-0 with two tech falls in the Greco Tournament and 14U Greco All-Tournament selection Clover Williams (Edmond North) who went 6-0 with two falls, and two tech falls.
