Police seize CBD products from local vape store

BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR

Morgantown City Police seized hundreds of dollars’ worth of Cannabidiol products from the vape store on High Street, Glass Gone Wow. Police removed the CBD hemp oil from the store on Feb. 21. Later that same day, police returned the products to the store and told the coowner, Dave Campbell, to sell the products at his own risk.

CBD is a cannabis compound that has medical benefits, but does not make people feel “stoned.”

CBD is considered to have a wide scope of potential medical applications, due to clinical reports showing the lack of side effects.

MPD received a complaint that Glass Gone Wow was selling products that con-

tained marijuana or synthetic marijuana.

“The officers investigated it and found products that could construe as an illegal substance,” said MPD Chief Ed Preston. “Some of those products could be illegal, and could be charged at a later date or by another agency.”

While MPD did not charge GGW with selling illegal substances, Preston said federal agencies could investigate and charge the owners of the store if they continue selling CBD. “When they came in, they said they had to take our CBD products. They took it, and then came back and told me to sell it at my own risk. So, it is currently sitting in the back of the store, waiting for us to take it to our other locations (in Pennsylvania),” Campbell said.

GGW and Smoker Friendly on Holland Avenue are the

ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Glass Gone Wow, a vape store on High Street, sells products such as detox merchandise and hemp seed lotion . only stores in Morgantown that sell CBD. Smoker Friendly did not have any CBD products taken from its store.

“West Virginia, in my opinion, is a little bit behind the times when it comes to sell-

ing CBD. We are trying to help people with anxiety. Not give them illegal drugs,” Campbell said.

GGW sells CBD hemp oil, which is extracted from the cannabis varieties that are nat-

urally abundant in CBD. Unlike marijuana-derived CBD, hemp-derived CBD that is made from hemp does not result in feelings of euphoria.

Consumption of CBD hemp oil is federally legal across the nation, as CBD hemp oil falls under the same importation and commerce laws as other hemp products.

No specific legislation related to Cannabidiol or hemp extracts have been passed in West Virginia, so it is legal to purchase and use.

“Apparently, West Virginia doesn’t like people to self-medicate themselves,” Campbell said. “From what I understand, CBD is legal in all 50 states. It comes from a hemp plant, there is no THC in it.”

Alyssa Morris, general manager of GGW, said CBD doesn’t have any side effects to people who use it.

“I think there is a lot of confusion about what the product is. A lot of local municipalities do not have the resources that they need to be properly trained and educated on the products,” Morris said. “As soon as they see anything that must do with Cannabidiol, they automatically tie it into marijuana.”

Morris said she has a lot of customers in her stores that say they use CBD every day for pain medication instead of using prescription opioids.

“It’s not just hurting our business by not being able to sell CBD in Morgantown, but it is affecting our customers.

They are going to have to go to more unreliable resources to get it, like online,” Morris said.

“A lot of these people have made it a lifelong commitment to no longer be on prescription drugs and use more holistic remedies like CBD.”

Organization provides fundraisers for India, student volunteers

BY RACHEL ROGERS STAFF WRITER

A WVU student organization is fundraising for projects in India, allowing students to volunteer for local community service projects.

Association for India’s Development Morgantown, or AID, is a nonprofit organization with branches throughout the country.

“Our main mission is to help implement developmen-

tal projects in India, but we have found that it is important to support the community as well,” said Jayaram Subramanian, president of AID Morgantown.

AID Morgantown focuses on allowing students to do community service with no financial obligations.

“From students, what we expect is their time,” Subramanian said. “We don’t expect any money.”

Subramanian added that AID has completed more than

a thousand hours of community service.

Secretary Sowmya Devaraja believes AID brings people together in a social environment that allows them to help Morgantown and India.

“Most (students) like to be socially involved but they don’t get an opportunity to,” Devaraja said.

Membership is open to anybody on campus and any students can sign up for the various service projects that the organization holds throughout

the year.

“We should be socially responsible and be compassionate to people,” Subramanian said. “I definitely believe this organization is important because it is inclusive to everyone in the university.”

Members stay busy throughout the year as the organization holds between nine and 10 events each year.

The main fundraising events include the Mylan fundraising dinner, assisting with blue lot parking during foot-

ball games, and the AID Annual Dinner & Cultural Night, where attendees can taste traditional Indian food prepared by students.

In addition to serving communities in India, AID is very active in the Morgantown area through Habitat for Humanity and other local efforts.

This past summer, members helped with the flood relief efforts in the southern part of the state.

AID is currently holding an ongoing project within com-

munity members of Morgantown. Dollar a day helps fund projects in India.

“We are encouraging people to donate one dollar a day,” Devaraja said.

She believes that these donations can quickly amount to a substantial amount and benefit many people in India.

Anyone who would like to get involved can check out AID Morgantown’s Facebook page or website, http://aid.orgs. wvu.edu/. Students can also sign up for projects on iServe.

WVU professor runs for Morgantown City Council AMY PRATT STAFF WRITER

A WVU professor and architect is running for the fifth ward for Morgantown City Council.

Ron Dulaney, associate professor of interior design has a six-point platform for Morgantown.

To ensure effective government on city council is Dulaney’s first priority.

Improving Morgantown’s living environment for all residents and to better the streets and sidewalks to accommodate all types of transportation people.

“I think continuing to develop our streets, and the way that we’ve already started to develop High Street is a start, really looking at how do we integrate bike lanes, how do we provide continuous sidewalks, how do we create streets and right-of-ways that are

“I think as an architect I am particularly suited to bring people together to try to find some common ground to try to bring a vision out that is satisfactory to the greatest number of stakeholders.”

-Ron Dulaney, associate professor safe for everyone,” Dulaney said.

Dulaney worked on a street study in Parkersburg examined how to make streets safer for all types of transportation.

Dulaney also wants to address housing affordability in Morgantown, especially for families.

He is pleased with the improvements to student housing, but thinks family and senior housing also needs attention.

Compared to the rest of West Virginia, family housing in Morgantown is expensive. Many WVU staff live outside the city and commute to work,

which increases traffic congestion.

Dulaney’s fourth point is to ensure Morgantown has plenty of places that will attract families and businesses. For example, he said he’d support more development around the Monongahela River.

“The river is this character defining asset that we really don’t take advantage of. I know there’s been a lot of discussion on how to do that,” Dulaney said. “The rail trail is great, the Waterfront, the kind of development that’s starting is great.

I’d like to see us continue to develop the riverfront in a way that allows it to take

Nearly 88,000 people (approx. 62,000 men and 26,000 women) die from alcohol-related causes annually. Alcohol is the fourth leading preventable cause of death in the United States.

Some of the most common side effects of alcohol usage are: reduced inhibition, slurred speech, motor impairment, confusion, and memory and concentration difficulties. This puts youa t risk for being the target of many types of crime. Remember that if you came with your friends, leave with your friends: ALL of them.

building, how do we good use for that, how do we maintain that architecture or character-defining asset and make it productive again,” Dulaney said.

“Whenever we have opportunities to improve our historic buildings through grant programs or reusing historic buildings, I think we should be encouraged to do so.”

Dulaney also wants to attract new businesses to Morgantown. WVU, with its LaunchLab and entrepreneurship major at the College of Business and Economics, is a good resource for Morgantown.

Dulaney would like to see Morgantown and WVU create an “incubator” for new entrepreneurs to attract them to the city.

Dulaney was a practicing architect before going into academia. He worked on the Woodburn School Property Reuse Committee to find a new use for Wood-

burn Elementary School when the city decided to consolidate. Dulaney also did a project for Spark!

Imagination and Science Center through one of his classes.

“I think as an architect I am particularly suited to bring people together to try to find some common ground to try to bring a vision out that is satisfactory to the greatest number of stakeholders,” Dulaney said.

Chris Haddox, assistant professor of interior design and design studies, has worked with Dulaney for about eight years.

“He’s really good at sitting with a diverse group and hearing all their diverse needs,” Haddox said.

“I think Ron would bring a different perspective, a good perspective.”

Morgantown City Council elections are on April 25.

All seven council seats are open for election.

OPINION

The potential plan behind the scandals

BY ALEX WEIDMAN STAFF WRITER

Last week I submitted an op-ed where I argued the attention paid to the Trump administration’s controversial messages or small scandals, including tweets or press conference statements, could be detrimental to those monitoring the current political situation. I argued that constant attention could drain momentum on the left, may push away centrists or even third-party voters and that this misplaced attention could play right into the hands of the Trump administration.

Perhaps the administration is fine with press taking low hanging fruit while behind the scenes, a more literal actualization of rhetoric is put into place.

Last Friday, Phillip Carter, a senior fellow at a Center for a New American Security, looked deeper into what could be going on behind these faux-scandals.

The main concern for Carter was what Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, outlined as the administration’s main strategy during the Conservative Political Action Conference. Bannon claimed it was the “deconstruction of the administrative state.”

Carter goes on to explain that initial action by the administration, such as hiring and funding freezes and the failure to nominate leaders and second-tier officials, is starving some federal agen-

cies. According to an earlier look by Slate, the National Security Council doesn’t have a Deputy Committee that does much of the work to “form new policies, assess new trends, or address new threats.” This is the same Security Council that Steve Bannon managed to insert himself on as a voting member.

There is also no undersecretary for the Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and no assistant secretary of defense for Defense Secretary James Mattis. Furthermore, as Carter points out, many agencies are “woefully behind in preparing budgets for President Trump to submit to Congress.” Ultimately, he concludes, “each of these forms of neglect advances the Bannon/Trump agenda of crippling the federal government.”

Trump’s budget proposal could also worsen this.

It ramps up military spending at the severe expense of other federal agencies, notably among them the Environmental Protection Agency. Another expected hard-hit agency will be the State Department and its foreign aid budget.

Ultimately though, why the current administration would want to cripple the federal government is unclear.

The most logical extension of crippling federal agencies seems to be to centralize their decision-making within the White House. This is only moderately hinted at by Steve Bannon’s addition to the National Security Council.

However, perhaps the first two potential problems with these scandals—the momentum drain on the left and the pushing away of less enthusiastic voters—is actually why the Trump administration is fine with so many scandals.

As Bob Cesca writes for Salon, Trump’s ranting and raving, especially against the media, “could very easily deliver a second term.”

Ultimately, Cesca is unconvinced this is all part of a plan within the Trump administration, but concedes, “strategically, though, it really doesn’t matter whether it’s intentional.”

The ranting keeps his base happy. The “disinformation campaign underway,” makes “insignificant things look like major achievements.”

Cesca concludes, “it’s not that difficult to rise from a floor of 40 percent approval to 45.9 percent of the popular vote— his total from November. Call it a form of moneyball. Winning is the only goal.”

Be as shocked by the Trump administration’s statements as you want, it’s simply not worrying his base.

The media can continue to call out the president for controversial tweets but as of now, and with plenty of experience already, it won’t do much to convince those still standing behind Trump.

This, of course, is not including more harmful scandals, such as the administration’s Muslim Ban executive order. We just need to be able

President Donald Trump walks across the tarmac at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Va., Thursday, March 2, 2017 after arriving on Air Force One for his first visit to the Hampton Roads area since taking office in January. The purpose of his visit was to deliver a speech in the hangar bay of the aircraft carrier Ford at Newport News Shipbuilding. to tell the difference between that action and a press conference statement.

While Hillary Clinton’s campaign strategy seemed to be convincing the country Trump was a nut (mainly by stepping aside and watching like everyone else), it didn’t work. The Democratic Party couldn’t rally to beat him.

If the Democratic Party wants to present a challenge to this administration it’ll need to convince potential supporters it’s truly a viable option. Watching Trump be Trump won’t work. We’re all watching, but can the left do anything about it is the real question.

U92 On the Review: The xx lose their edge in “I See You”

BY JOSEPH BELLAMY U92 DJ

The dense, maximalist production of pop hits by artists like Ke$ha and Lady Gaga has been toned down in recent years. Kiiara’s “Gold,” Lorde’s “Team” or Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” for example, are all much more understated, with softer dynamics and a more sparse, atmospheric tone. Even R&B artists such as Bryson Tiller and The Weeknd seem to draw more from this reverberant pool of sound than any of the conventional elements of

their genre.

The reconciliation of dreamy soundscapes, minimalist electronics and conventional pop songwriting can be clearly traced to the work of The xx over the past eight years. In fact, this lineage becomes all the more clear when listening to their newest album “I See You.” To understand this one, we need to briefly consider the solo work of The xx’s main composer, Jamie xx.

Last year he released “In Colour,” notable for its inclusion of more mainstream sounds and standard pop production similar to the

The xx performs on December 2, 2009, at Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto.

Chainsmokers or DJ Snake.

“I See You” is a clear logical progression from “In

Colour,” attempting to combine the upbeat style with the atmosphere of its pre-

vious two releases. As the group comes full circle from influencing pop to falling under its influence again, it seems this record is a bit self-defeating.

While The xx do not play the most complicated or detailed music, its style is too well-defined to become the template for something else. The dance beats and bombastic choruses of “I See You” overshadow the soft ambiance that forms the backbone of the sound, creating a murky mean where the energy is too underdeveloped to ever be impressive, but too overstated

to be as sensual as The xx’s older work.

This is not to say the album is a complete failure.

“Dangerous” is a particularly notable highlight with its sharp drum programming, climax-teasing chorus and a horn section to round it out. The song could fit perfectly on top-40 radio yet still manage to be a breath of fresh air.

One hit is not enough to save “I See You” from its conceptual death sentence, however. The xx is attempting to advance its sound, but is really just watering it down.

WVU Vegan and Vegetarian Society open to new members

BY EMILY ZEKONIS

ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR With a student body of more than 30,000 students from around the globe, West Virginia University has the ability to make a person feel challenged when finding someone to relate to.

However with hundreds of student organizations, clubs, greek life and so many ways to get involved, it is easy to find a community to fit into if students look around, even if it means starting up a new one.

Nadia Anderson, the president of WVU’s Vegan and Vegetarian society, said the student organiza-

tion has more than 40 members who are vegan, vegetarian or interested in either lifestyle.

“Veganism and vegetarianism are really cool regardless of if you want to take part in them,” Anderson said. “There’s a lot of layers to it—health, animals, environmental impact.”

Anderson has been a vegan for two years and is currently in her sophomore year studying strategic communications. She was acting as a PETA representative on campus, but was looking for more ways to be involved and promote the lifestyle.

“When I came to campus I was a completely different person,” Anderson said. “I

wanted a club for vegans and vegetarians, but I didn’t want to start the organization myself.”

With the help of another vegan Anderson met in the Boreman Bistro her freshman year, she got the courage and support to create a community of her own.

“It’s really not hard to start a club,” Anderson said.

“The hardest part is finding an advisor.”

Anderson urged that starting an organization is not as difficult as it may seem. All student are able to make a community of their own and members will find the organization if it interests them.

“It’s all about word of mouth,” Anderson said.

“Free food really brings in members as well.”

The Vegan and Vegetarian Society is now in its second year, holding meetings every other week on Tuesday’s. They discuss the lifestyle, current issues facing it, and ways to promote veganism and vegetarianism on campus. They are currently working with dining services to set up a vegetarian station in the Stalnaker dining hall, the Terrace Room.

For those interested in joining, contact for the organization can be found at https://studentorgs.wvu. edu, along with other student organizations for students to find communities of their own.

Iris van Herpen: Transforming fashion

BY ALAINIA CONRAD FASHION COLUMNIST

The work of Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen is on display in the Heinz Galleries of Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Art until May 1, 2017.

The exhibit, entitled “Iris van Herpen: Transforming Fashion,” showcases pieces from several of the designer’s collections, including Wilderness Embodied Couture (2013), Voltage Couture (2013), Capriole Couture (2011), Crystallization (2010) and Synesthesia (2010).

Iris van Herpen’s designs are known for their structural qualities, taking inspiration from “neuroscience and microbes, science fiction and the environment,” as stated on the exhibit’s web page. The designer utilizes unconventional techniques and materials to create her otherworldly designs. Van Herpen creates clothing from silicon, polymer and acrylic, combined with traditional fabrics, and manipulates the designs with the use of 3D printing and laser cutting.

The exhibit features some of Iris van Herpen’s most famous designs, like the “skeleton dress.” Other featured designs include pieces that resemble tree bark, corsets embellished with motorcycle chains, insect-inspired masks, reflective mirror dresses, bird skull sleeves and a piece that looks like water suspended around the mannequin wearing it. The exhibit also includes shoe designs, like a pair of caged heels with geode soles.

The pieces on display are accompanied by a video of Iris van Herpen’s runway shows and touchable examples of some of the materials used, exhibiting how the dresses fit and move on real bodies and demonstrating the surprising flexibility of the stiff-appearing designs.

Senior fashion merchandising student Danielle Gasparro visited “Iris van Herpen:

A look at the five Mountaineer seniors West Virginia will recognize five seniors for their time donning the blue and gold: Nate Adrian, James Long, Teyvon Myers, Tarik Phillip and Brandon Watkins. This class helped Head Coach Bob Huggins turn the program around after it missed the NCAA Tournament in 2012 and 2013, implementing “Press Virginia” in the hopes of getting back to winning ways. They did just that, earning NCAA Tournament berths in two straight seasons (it’s about to be a third) alongside a spot in the Big 12 Championship last year for the first time since joining the conference.

Nate Adrian (Forward) The Morgantown High School alumnus grew up, like many in town, a Mountaineer fan. WVU’s senior forward has endured an up-and-down career in the blue and gold, suffering a wrist injury and struggling to find his shot. As a senior, however, Adrian is becoming one of the integral pieces in WVU’s spot in the top 25. He’s averaging 10 points, a team-high six rebounds and three assists, adding 41 steals to the tally at the head of the press.

“Nate Adrian, (has) had a heck of a career,” said WVU Head Coach Bob Huggins. “He does so many things for us and has really for four years.”

REPORTING BY CHRIS JACKSON, LAYOUT BY JOEL WHETZEL

Teyvon Myers (Guard) Brooklyn’s own Teyvon Myers was the leading scorer in junior college out of Williston State College, earning a spot on the NJCAA’s Honorable Mention All-American team. Despite not putting up those same numbers in Morgantown—averaging 2.4 points as a junior and 6.3 points as a senior—he’s one of the most energized individuals on the roster.

“Teyvon is the same (as Tarik),” Huggins said. “Those two guys really have good work ethics. I think that’s the thing we’ll miss from those seniors more than anything.”

James Long (Guard) Although not appearing much—he’s played in just 22 games during his three (eligible) years at WVU—the Charleston native is doing what he’s dreamed of all along: wearing the Mountaineer uniform.

Long transferred from Wofford after one season, coming in as a walk-on. The highlight of his career was 10-point effort against Manhattan back in November, hitting two of his three attempts from long range.

“James Long—who has without a question a terrific work ethic—has been an unbelievable teammate,” Huggins said.

Tarik Phillip (Guard) Phillip, a Brooklyn native like Myers, was a sparkplug off the bench for WVU before earning his way into the starting lineup this season.

He’s averaged nine-plus points the last two years after putting up four points per game as a sophomore, which was his first year at WVU after transferring from Independence Community College. The highlight of his career thus far was hitting the game-sealing 3-pointer against Buffalo in the first round of the 2015 NCAA Tournament, helping WVU survive and advance as the team eventually earned its first Sweet Sixteen appearance since 2010. “Tarik was part of the deal that got this program back, turned around and back in the national conversation,” Huggins said.

Brandon Watkins (Forward) The nephew of Mountaineer Hall-of-Famer Warren Moon has experienced it all at WVU. Watkins was sick for part of his sophomore year, battled a knee injury last season, forcing him to miss the first six contests before playing a limited role the rest of the year. He spent time away from basketball last summer, mulling his options before the team voted to reinstate him. As a senior, Watkins is recording the best campaign of his college career, putting up career-highs in points (5.0) and rebounds (3.1).

“Brandon’s had a tough career just from an injury standpoint, but I thought came back this year and really did a heck of a job this year,” Huggins said.

Morgantown’s Adrian awaits last game in his hometown

BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S BASKETBALL Nathan Adrian has played basketball in Morgantown his entire life. On Friday, Adrian will walk out in front of WVU Coliseum one last time.

“It’s going to feel good,” Adrian said. “I’m going to soak it up. You only get one of these in your life so I’m going to enjoy it.

Since 1949, Morgantown has seen 22 men’s basketball players go on to play basketball at the Division I or II level. Whether it was at nearby Fairmont State or WV Wesleyan, Morgantown athletes found a place to play.

Only one player, under

scholarship, went on to play at WVU. In September 2011, Adrian broke the drought and signed his letter of intent to the University, where he became more than just another player that suited up for the Mountaineers.

He’s become a fixture within the community. The noticeable difference in the crowd reaction as Adrian is introduced tells it all.

“You can’t say enough about what Nate’s been,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “With Nate growing up here and his family here, he understands what it means to the people in West Virginia and what it means to the kids growing up here.

“He’s been a great ambassador for West Virginia

basketball and certainly the state of West Virginia.”

The road hasn’t treated Adrian so kindly in his first few years at WVU. Despite averaging over 19 points per game for Morgantown High School, he fell into what seemed like a long rut.

He failed to produce anything that was remotely similar to his high school numbers. Through his first two years at WVU, his scoring average dropped from 5.4 to 2.8.

Last year, Adrian was the focus of a “Mean Tweets” style segment put together by the athletic department in which he read insults or jokes directed at him.

Adrian didn’t bat an eye as he doubled his scoring output.

In his final season, the

player that was typically the butt of the joke became the Mountaineer’s leader, as well as a fan-favorite.

“Nate’s the hometown kid,” said fellow WVU senior Brandon Watkins. “Everybody loves him.”

It all goes back to the one coach who offered him a role on his hometown team.

“Me and Coach (Huggins) are pretty tight,” Adrian said. “We’ve gotten pretty close.”

Adrian wasn’t heavily rated coming out of high school. He didn’t have offers flying through the door, but he was a component of what Huggins prefers when recruiting.

“He gets the best out of any player he gets,” Adrian said. “He doesn’t get top-

level recruits but that’s how he likes it. He likes to get people that will work hard.”

Working hard has become an unofficial adjective that describes the people of West Virginia. At times, the individual may not give a favorable result, but hard work is what a West Virginia strives on.

“I take great pride in that,” Adrian said. “Just representing our state well.”

As Adrian’s time playing at the Coliseum comes to an end, he isn’t keen on saying what his favorite moment was.

“It’s hard to say,” Adrian said. “There’s not one favorite moment but its been a good four years and made a lot of memories so I’ll take them all with me. I’m just grateful.”

WVU wrestling prepares for Big 12 championships

BY PATRICK KOTNIK SPORTS WRITER

WRESTLING With the regular season behind them, the WVU wrestling team will now open postseason competition this weekend at the Big 12 Championships in Tulsa.

WVU will look to improve off last season’s sixth-place finish that saw four Mountaineers earn bids to the NCAA Championships.

This year, the Mountaineers return three of those NCAA tournament qualifiers, but only two will compete this weekend—senior Dylan Cottrell and redshirt junior Jacob A. Smith. Junior Zeke Moisey, the other NCAA qualifier who

also finished as a NCAA runner-up at 125 pounds last season, redshirted this season.

For the second consecutive year, Smith enters the tournament as the top seed at 197 pounds. This season, Smith has achieved an 18-4 record, including a 4-0 record against Big 12 opponents and carries a 12-match winning streak going into this weekend.

Ranked No. 5 nationally, Smith will look for redemption this weekend after finishing sixth at 197 pounds in the tournament last season. The Charleston native will face the winner of the preliminary match between Iowa State’s Marcus Harrington and Wyoming’s Luke Paine in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

After missing part of the

season with an injury, Cottrell ended the regular season on a seven-match win streak, which improved his record 15-4 for the year, earning him the No. 2 seed at 165 pounds in his final appearance at the Big 12 championships, and the No. 10 spot in the national rankings according to InterMat. The senior from Spencer, WV placed third at 157 pounds in the Big 12 tournament last season and will look to qualify for the NCAA championships for the third time in his collegiate wrestling career.

Cottrell will compete against the winner of the preliminary match between Air Force’s Rickey Padilla and Iowa State’s Logan Breitenback in the quarterfinals on Saturday as well.

Cory Stainbrook is another senior who will be competing in his final Big 12 tournament this weekend, coming in as the No. 6 seed at 133 pounds. Overall, Stainbrook has achieved a record of 13-12 this season, including a 3-2 record in conference matches.

Junior Parker VonEgidy will also compete as a No. 6 seed at 184 pounds.

Sophomores Joe Wheeling and Christian Monserrat earned the No. 7 seeds at 141 and 149 pounds. Wheeling posted seven victories this season and Monserrat won 13.

Rounding out WVU’s lineup are redshirt freshmen Devin Brown, Dayton Garrett and Brandon Ngati, and junior Ty Millward, who are all the 10th seeds in their respective

weight classes at 125 and 157 pounds, the heavyweight division and 174 pounds.

Oklahoma State headlines this year’s tournament with six top-seeded wrestlers. Two South Dakota State wrestlers have also earned top seeds in Seth Gross at 133 pounds and David Kocer at 174 pounds.

The Cowboys will also be going for their fifth straight Big 12 title and 14th in team history.

This weekend will give the Mountaineers the chance to see how they’ve progressed throughout this season and how they stack up against the Big 12’s best, as well as the opportunity to be represented at the NCAA championships among the nation’s best wrestlers.
