OSU swim plunges into Cowboy-hosted meet Jaycee Hampton Staff Reporter

The OSU Swim Club hosted the “Cowboy Plunge Swim Meet” at the YMCA on Saturday. Four club teams from surrounding states joined

OSU in the invitational meet. TCU, Texas State University, Texas Tech and Harding University’s clubs dedicated their Saturday to friendly competition in Stillwater. Shyanna Kuehn, president of the Swim Club, put time and effort into making the meet possible and ensured it ran smoothly.

“We had a lot of great swims, and we only had practice for a week now back in the pool,” Kuehn said. “So people were really nervous, but the whole point of this meet that we were focusing on was having fun and trying our best and we weren’t focusing on the speed of it.” See Swim on 5

LAS VEGAS — Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford filed civil lawsuits Tuesday against five popular social media platforms, alleging the algorithms they use have been designed to deliberately addict the youth. Ford, alongside three other law firms, filed the civil actions against TikTok, Snapchat, and three Meta-owned platforms, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger. The lawsuit alleges the algorithms’ designs addict young minds and have encouraged problematic internet usage and caused harm to young people’s mental health, body image, physical health, privacy and physical safety, according to the statement from the attorney general’s office. “My commitment to protecting consumers, particularly those that are as vulnerable as our youth, is unwavering,” Ford said in a statement Tuesday. “Bringing this litigation is an important step toward ensuring social media platforms put our children’s safety before their profits.” Features such as endless scrolling, disappearing content, dopamine-inducing rewards, likes, shares and push notifications maximize use and manipulate young people’s emotions, all for financial gain, the attorney general’s office said. “Each of these platforms

has also been linked to serious dangers to kids, including auto accidents, increases in drug overdoses, suicides, eating disorders, sexual exploitation and more,” the attorney general’s office said in the statement. In the complaints filed in Clark County District Court, the plaintiffs allege that the social media platforms are incentivized to keep users on its platform for as long as possible to view highly targeted advertisements. The complaints allege highly skilled and highly paid employees have invested years of research into designing features to make it impossible to quit. Children have developmentally limited capacity for self-control and are most vulnerable to the intentionally addictive design elements, the complaints say. For many young users, social media platforms are viewed as an indispensable part of their identity and a place to share a carefully cultivated personality, the complaints allege. Social media platforms differ from other products that appeal to children, such as candy and soda, in that there is no natural break point where the consumer has finished the product, the lawsuits say. “Instead, social media platforms are a bottomless pit where users can spend an infinite amount of their time,” the complaints say. The apps pepper their users with reminders to log on and makes it psychologically difficult to log off, the complaints allege. See Apps on 6

Smith recaps Northern Iowa, Iowa State wins in weekly radio show Daniel Allen Staff Reporter

Maybe Cowboy wrestling is… back? This past weekend would suggest so. Oklahoma State coach John Smith’s Cowboys (10-0) downed then-No. 22 Northern Iowa and then-No. 4 Iowa State – OSU’s second topfive win of the season – both in relatively dominant fashion. Very seldom did OSU wrestlers struggle in matchups, even in tossup contests. On Monday, Smith held his weekly radio show, rehashing wins. Here is some of what Smith had to say: Opening statement “It was a good weekend. I think one thing that we did see this weekend is that Northern Iowa is a lot better than 22nd. I don’t know if in some of the early dual meets, they had injuries. That I don’t know. But a solid team and a good effort. We had that particular match that went bad. But there (were) eight decisions, you know, two major decisions, but matches were a little tighter than I thought they were gonna be. But after watching (Northern Iowa), I really didn’t think we really wrestled that bad. I mean, we looked good. Our better day with better wrestling came against Iowa State, no doubt.” On Izzak Olejnik’s bounce-back major decision against Northern Iowa’s RJ Weston “Izzak did what he wanted when he wanted… What we’re hoping for out of Izzak are those major decisions. He’s been real focused in the past on riding and turning (his opponent). I think having the ability to have confidence in himself that (he) can go out and get three takedowns in a match is very helpful. He’s had to cut more wrestlers wrestling with us than he has in the past, but he’s getting better.” On Dustin Plott’s loss to No. 1 Parker Keckeisen of Northern Iowa “At the end of the (third) period when Plott picked up the takedown, he would have had a 5-4 lead, I believe. But what did happen was Plott gave up riding time. You know, and I think it had a little bit of that wear and tear on (Plott), you know. But when Plott picked up that tape now, after the escape by Parker (Keckeisen), he stopped. Parker just hit him back. And so, you just kind of knew that somebody was going to take someone down, and I don’t think Dustin was quite ready to put the pressure on (Keckeisen). Things that I’ve been trying to preach to him. I think he kind of sees it a little bit more now, though. And I told him today, ‘This this is the guy you’re

training to beat. This is the guy that if you trained to beat this guy and know what it’s going to take condition-wise, no one’s going to take you on skillwise.’” On Tagen Jamison’s win over Iowa State’s Anthony Echemendia “Tagen did a great job of just staying in the match stay and focusing, and then picking up that takedown in the overtime period. It was really his only shot of the match. He was playing defense most of the time. I was just kind of tapping at the leg and maybe using too much strategy, you know, rather

than just wrestling. But he did a nice job of finishing the shot. It was kind of a double-leg to the single-leg (takedown), and he had to suck it in and took the attempt to the finish. He got his shot a couple of times and (I was) getting worried a little bit. You know, we’re gonna, we might lose this leg. But he found a way. He closed on his shot and did a nice job of finishing.” On Olejnik’s loss to Iowa State’s David Carr “We didn’t see what we needed to see if he was gonna go out and beat a guy like David Carr. Let’s just put it

that way. But he just needs to stay focused and keep working. I think there’s a little bit of maybe what’s different from here and where he came from (at Northern Illinois). You’re just in a match to that caliber almost every weekend. You know, don’t get tired. You can’t get tired. “So, no, I’m not concerned, I think that that match will be different next time.” On Plott’s major-decision win over Iowa State’s Will Feldkamp “I thought (Plott) could have and would have gotten the tech fall.

he t t ou k c e Ch

way! a e d i al H n i g i Or

“With just three takedowns. But the coaching staff, we didn’t calculate all that well. Anyway, Plott ended up winning by 14, which I believe he could have ended up with the tech fall on that guy if he could hear us. But I mean, he just couldn’t hear us because the crowd was too loud. He looked a lot different the second night. Of course, the competition is different. But like I said, hold on to that. Copy it. Paste it. Enjoy the moment because you’re a different guy.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

OSU climbs to No. 3; a look at Cowboys in the individual rankings Braden Bush Sports Editor

After a 2-0 weekend, the Oklahoma State wrestling team jumped in the rankings, as well as some individual Cowboys. OSU jumped to No. 3 in the latest NWCA Coaches Poll, behind No. 2 Iowa Hawkeyes, who come to Stillwater on Feb. 25, and No. 1 Penn State. The Cowboys jumped ahead of previously No. 4 Iowa State, a team OSU beat Saturday, and previously No. 2 Missouri, which lost to Cornell this past weekend. OSU is the highest-ranked team of the seven Big 12 teams to appear in this week’s rankings. The Cowboys have wins against eight ranked teams, and they face two more ranked opponents this weekend. In InterMat’s individual rankings, three Cowboys moved up a spot, and none dropped. Troy Spratley, OSU’s 125-pounder, and Daton Fix, OSU’s 133-pounder, each held their spots in the rankings after 2-0 weekends. Tagen Jamison lost his second match in a row at 141 pounds on Friday in a 4-2 loss to Northern Iowa’s No. 6 Cael Happel, 7-3, but got back into the win column Friday. He beat Iowa State’s No. 8 Anthony Echemendia in a pivotal match, 4-1 in sudden victory, and took Echemendia’s spot in the rankings. Sammy Alvarez didn’t wrestle Friday and lost to ISU’s Casey Swiderski, 10-3, on Saturday, but he held his spot at 149. Teague Travis lost a 4-1 decision at 157 pounds to UNI’s Ryder Downey on Friday but moved up a spot after a dominant win on Saturday. The rest of OSU’s lineup was idle in the rankings. The Cowboys have four wrestlers ranked in All-American status – top eight – and Konner Doucet is knocking at the door, ranked No. 9 at heavyweight. Each of the Cowboys’ starters are in the Top 25, and eight are ranked 17th or better as OSU heads into duals against No. 24 Arizona State (3-4) in Gallagher-Iba Arena on Friday and at No. 5 Missouri (8-1) on Sunday. Here’s a look at the full individual rankings and team rankings.

brownsshoefitstillwater browns.stillwater OUR EYES ARE ON CHRIST! “ As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he show us his mercy.” (Ps.123:2 NIV) “My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty...But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.” (Ps.131:1,2 NIV) “ I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit...he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear (stand in awe) and put their trust in the LORD.” (Ps.40:1-3 NIV) “But they that wait upon the LORD shall

renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Is.40:31 KJV) There is something definite and real about waiting on the Lord. I remember years ago when I sensed the Lord speak to me. “Make yourself available!” I thought I was! I was reading my Bible some and going to church regularly. As I considered this challenge from Lord, I felt I should spend some quiet time daily with the Lord. With my busy days,I decided to spend a hour (5 to 6 a.m.) each day. That decision brought about important changes in my life and service to God. I was learning to wait on the Lord. What a loving and faithful God we have to help us find his best for our lives. It pays off to have a definite, daily time with your Bible and Jesus
