– Oklahoma State Dustin Plott finished his run at the 2022 NCAA Wrestling Championships Saturday morning in sixth place in the 174-pound bracket to mark the highest finish of his career.
A sophomore from Tuttle, Oklahoma, plotted to end the event with a 4-3 record in Detroit and win his first All-America honors. He ended his season with a 21-6 overall record that included 13 wins over ranked opponents and six bonus-point wins.
Plott’s path to the podium this week began with two wins in the championship bracket, before he made a quarter-final decision at number 3. He responded with a come-from-behind, sudden victory over No. 7 Ethan Smith of Ohio State and then a big decision over No. 10 Clay Laut of North Carolina won Saturday to reach the consolation semifinal round.
The round pitted him against No. 4 Hayden Hidlay of NC State, where an 8-2 decision by Hidlay sent the plot to the fifth game to beat third-seed Logan Massa of Michigan for the second time in two days. confront.
Plot scored one point better against Massa than he did on Friday, but once again fell in a decision for the five-time NCAA Qualifier, three-time All-American and U.S. Senior Nationals champion, 5-1.
“It feels good (to be an All-American),” the plot said after securing the honor Friday night. “… I still think it’s a little more what I did not go out there. I think I’ll always feel that way. It’s cool and I’m glad I did it, but my goal for and coming to a tournament is never just for space, and anything other than the first is a bit of a disappointment.
Oklahoma State Wrestling has now won 483 All-America honors in its history, which is far more than any other program, and OSU Coach John Schmitz now has his wrestling coach to 150 All-America honors in his career.
As a team, the Cowboys are in 14th place with 38.5 points and one more session at the event.
