Cowboys hope to maintain championship drive Lu k e Gar za Asst. Sports Editor @ Lu keAGar z a

The Oklahoma State wrestling team’s biggest test is in the rearview, but there is no time for the top-ranked team in the nation to slow down.

After trouncing No. 3 Iowa 24-11 on Sunday, the Cowboys remain undefeated through six duals for the first time since 2012 when they began their season 17-0.

A look at OSU’s remaining opponents provokes assumptions of the Cowboys doing something similar this season.

Of its eight remaining duals, only one of OSU’s opponents is ranked in the top 10. The Cowboys cruised through the first half of their schedule, outscoring opponents by an average of 25 points per dual despite facing five ranked teams.

Friday, the Cowboys host a West Virginia team that has struggled on its way to a 2-8 record. Two days later, No. 19 South Dakota State will come to Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Although the Mountaineers and Jackrabbits don’t mirror the level of competition the Cowboys have previously faced, OSU coach John Smith said he doesn’t want to see a difference in his wrestlers’ preparation.

“It’s easy to get up for big matches,” Smith said. “It’s these kinda matches you better get up for. And we find ourselves a lot of times in trouble because we didn’t FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 2017

Smith made his debut last season and has become an important memeber of the team since his first start last year.

get up.

“It needs to be a little bit rougher this week.”

Since Dan Hodge Trophy recipient Alex Dieringer’s departure, the Cowboys have lacked a dominant force. Some wrestlers have shown flashes of dominance this season but not on the consistent basis needed to take home a national championship in March.

The Cowboys don’t have a wrestler in the nation’s top 10 in falls or technical falls.

At 141 pounds, topranked Dean Heil, a returning national champion, looks to become someone Smith can rely on to put more points on the board.

Heil, who takes pride

in his defensive wrestling style, said he was disappointed with himself after barely defeating Iowa’s No. 18 Topher Carton 8-5.

Heil said his competitive weight class is a reason for the tight matches.

“I think it’s probably the deepest weight class,” Heil said. “Maybe not the toughest weight class, just in terms of accolades, but I think you get a great variety of wrestlers. … Whether you’re ranked No. 1 or No. 20, you’re asking for a good match.”

Heil said the Cowboys’ next couple of duals would allow him and his teammates to take more risks and score more points. Fac-

ing lower-ranked opponents gives the team an opportunity to take more shots and to “let it fly,” Heil said.

Friday’s dual is a benchmark of sorts for two Cowboys. Preston Weigel and Joe Smith, John Smith’s

son, made their dual debuts against the Mountaineers last season and have since become pivotal components of OSU’s lineup. Each wrestler placed first in last year’s Big 12 tournament, and both are expected to do

the same this season.

Joe Smith’s season didn’t begin as planned, though, as weight issues and injuries caused him to miss the first four duals of the season.

Fast forward to midJanuary, and Joe Smith and Weigel have a combined 6-2 record in duals.

Kyle Crutchmer, a senior, said he’s seen a lot of maturity from the second-year starters.

“I think when you see guys that made their debuts, at first they might be a little nervous,” Crutchmer said.

“They are wrestling for Oklahoma State. You see a lot more maturity; you see guys a lot more seasoned than they were. … If you’ve seen anything out of those two guys right now, I think it’s just maturity and the fact that they’re trying to help this team win a national title.”

Inauguration

politicl leaders to represent Oklahoma at Inauguration O l ivi a R id dl e Sta ff R epo rt er @ nor malo l ivia

Oklahoma will be well represented at Presidentelect Donald Trump’s inauguration Friday.

Gov. Mary Fallin, five U.S. congressmen, two senaFallin tors and two Trump cabinet nominees will represent the state Pruitt at Friday’s festivities in Washington, D.C. Fallin, a former U.S. senator, graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1977. She has been involved with Trump’s transition team since meeting with the presidentelect in New York City in late November.

Shortly after the meeting, Fallin told reporters in the Trump Tower lobby they had discussed Native American affairs in the state, Oklahoma’s economy, and the oil and gas industry.

Fallin drew criticism after the Associated Press reported her meeting with the president-elect cost the state of Oklahoma over $6,000.

A week after the meeting, Fallin was named a vice chairwoman to Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s transition team.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 2017

“I’m looking forward to working with the many distinguished leaders on the team to help support this administration that will lead our country back to safety, prosperity and peace,” Fallin said in a press release. “I’m also proud to make sure Oklahomans’ values and concerns are heard during this important process.”

Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson and Scott Pruitt, nominated for Environmental Protection Agency administrator, will also be in attendance with Trump’s other cabinet nominees.

Pruitt, a former Oklahoma state senator from 1998-2010, has served as the state attorney general since 2011. During his time in office, he sued the Obama administration several times, including 14 lawsuits involving the EPA. Pruitt earned his law degree from the University of Tulsa in 1993 and has been a Tulsa resident ever since.

During Pruitt’s confirmation hearing Wednesday, he said he supported restricting the powers of the agency he hopes to lead, instead allowing states to create their own environmental regulations.

If Pruitt is confirmed, he will be required to step down as Oklahoma attorney general.

Rex Tillerson stepped down as Exxon Mobil

CEO after Trump nominated him in December for secretary of state. Tillerson was born in Texas and spent a few years of his childhood in Stillwater. He attended Stillwater High School from 1968-69 before returning to Texas.

A senate committee held Tillerson’s confirmation hearing Jan. 11. Senators extensively questioned Tillerson’s business and personal ties in Russia and the possible conflicts of interest that could arise from those connections.

Although Tillerson is no longer Exxon Mobil’s CEO, he still owns more than $200 million in the company’s stock.

Oklahoma Sens. James Lankford and Jim Inhofe and Reps. Jim Bridenstine, Markwayne Mullin, Frank Lucas, Tom Cole and Steve Russell will attend the inauguration ceremony, according to their respective offices.

Lucas, who represents congressional District 3, is also an OSU graduate.

Mullin, who represents District 2, holds an associate’s degree from the OSU Institute of Technology.

Trump and Pence will be sworn into office at 10:30 a.m. Friday at the U.S. Capitol.
