Kearney, Neb. (Nov. 19, 2021) – A select group of Cowboy grapplers were in action Saturday at the Younes Hospitality Open hosted by Nebraska Kearney. Five Cowboys competed attached while another 16 Cowboys competed unattached. 
 
Seven Cowboys competed in the elite division brackets in their respective weight classes as six Cowboys finished as place winners in the elite division.
 
Competing unattached, Warren Carr was the lone Cowboy to make the finals in the elite division as he rattled off four straight wins to make the 149 pound finals. The Wyoming native showcased his stingy defense on his way to finals giving up four points or less to every opponent he faced. Carr finished with second place after falling just short in a 3-1 loss to Jason Hanenberg of Western Colorado.
 
Job Greenwood bounced back from an early loss in the 133-pound elite division bracket and won five straight matches to finish third. Greenwood capped of his day with a pin in just 28 seconds in the third-place match. 
 
Terren Swartz also had an impressive day competing in the 285-pound elite division bracket. Swartz pinned three of the five opponents he faced on the day going 4-1 to open up his season. 
 
In the amateur division brackets the Cowboy Wrestling program would once again showcase their depth and youth. Seven Cowboys made the amateur division finals at their respective weights as Wyoming walked away with six amateur division champions and 10 total amateur division place winners. 
 
The 174-pound weight class was controlled by the duo of Gage Hockett and Guillermo Escobedo as the two pokes both went 4-0 to meet each other in the finals. In the first-place match Hockett would edge out Escobedo, 3-0 to finish the day 5-0. 
 
Josh Kyle (133) and Darren Green (141) both posted flawless records of 6-0 on the day as each Cowboy finished first while picking up a win by fall and major decision. 
 
Analu Benabise (149), Bryce Dauphin (157) and Hayden Lieb (165) were the three other Cowboys that posted perfect records and won their respective weight classes. 
 
The Cowboys will officially begin their season next Saturday as they host the Cowboy Open in Laramie, Wyoming.
