TULSA, Okla. (March 17, 2023) – The Wyoming Cowboy Wrestling squad closed out their season at the NCAA Championships on Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma inside of the BOK Center. Both Jore Volk (125) and Jacob Wright (157) brought their seasons to an end in the consolation rounds. 
 
At 125 pounds, Volk was in nail biter against Big 12 Champion No. 6 Stevo Poulin (UNCO) coming up just short in a 3-5 decision lost. Volk's first season in the Brown and Gold was one to remember as he amassed 25 wins including five wins over ranked opponents and earned a fifth-place finish at the Big 12 Championships to qualify for his first NCAA tournament. 
 
Wright saw his tournament come to an end in a down to the wire decision loss to No. 32 Vinny Zerban (UNCO). Wright finishes his Cowboy career with 103 wins putting him in 18th all-time in program history. Along with the wins, Wright closes out his career as a four time NCAA Qualifier and a four time Big 12 Championship place winner
