Cowboys continue bottom position struggles in loss to Iowa State

Adam Engel Staff Reporter As the buzzer sounded, Wyatt Sheets crouched on the mat, panting from exhaustion. Seconds later, he walked to the center of the mat and flashed a fake smile as he shook hands with Iowa State’s David Carr. Carr, the defending national champion at 157 pounds, ripped off his headgear and ran toward the Cyclone bench while celebrating. Authentic smiles and a dominating win. That was a pattern for Iowa State. The struggles on bottom were evident as Oklahoma State dropped a 20-12 dual to Iowa State Sunday afternoon in Gallagher-Iba Arena. With the loss, No. 3 Oklahoma State dropped consecutive home duals for the first time since 1993. “The weekend showed some things,” Cowboy coach John Smith said. “How easy it is to get distracted, and it can just throw you off. I feel like there’s been a lot of distractions this week and not to make excuses. But really, when you have multiple distractions, it doesn’t take a whole lot to throw you off. You go from being a pretty good team to average real quickly. We’re definitely average right now.” And like a night before, the Cowboys continued to struggle in the bottom position. Five of the Cyclones’ six individual wins resulted in riding time points. “When you’re losing matches with riding time, that’s just attitude,” Smith said. “It’s got something to do with skill. Trust me, skill is important, but really, it’s just attitude. Just a matter of wanting to get out. Determined to get out. That’s it.” ISU’s Kysen Terukina earned his first career win against OSU’s Trevor Mastrogiovanni with a 2-1 score at 125-pounds. Terukina accumulated 1:43 of riding time to defeat the previously undefeated Cowboy. At 133, Daton Fix was one of two Cowboys to win with riding time. He clocked 2:32 of it as he defeated Ramazan Attasauov 5-1. Even then, Fix expressed his frustrations with his weekend performance. “I need to change something,” he said. “Two disappointing performances from really a lot of us, even me. Two takedowns in two matches. That’s as minimum as it gets for me. It doesn’t really matter if the guy is not trying to wrestle. Shouldn’t matter. I gotta do more. Be more active. Create more opportunities to score.” Carter Young, OSU’s 141-pounder, dropped his third bout of the season. No. 11 Ian Parker completely limited No. 21 Young in a 4-0 bout with riding time. A bout later, No. 14 Kaden Gfeller earned a standing ovation with a 6-4 sudden victory win. In a fast-paced scrap that featured several reviews and scrambles, Gfeller’s offense continues to improve. He hasn’t lost since November. At 165 pounds, Travis Wittlake defeated ISU’s Isaac Judge 5-1 with 1:44 riding time. It was Wittlake’s first win since returning from an undisclosed injury. Dustin Plott used the frustration of a pin via loss Saturday night to dominate Joel Devine of Iowa State 6-1 with two minutes of riding time at 174. No. 8 Marcus Coleman of Iowa State pummeled No. 9 Dakota Geer 8-3 with riding time at 184-pounds. In a bout critical to the dual score, Geer failed to win. A win would’ve extended OSU’s 12-10 lead. Instead, ISU led 13-12 with two bouts remaining. It was Geer’s second consecutive loss and like many Cowboys, he failed to emerge from bottom and surrendered a riding time point. Smith attributed the defensive struggles to attitude and a lack of toughness. But how can OSU demonstrate that to overcome this negative? “A lot of ways,” Smith said. “We’ll get better. Not gonna tell you everything but I’ll just say we’ll get better. We’ll get better on bottom. I’m not too worried about it. We’re just behind maybe. I don’t want to take anything from any teams that we’ve competed about but definitely Iowa State has been the best. I think even yesterday, Northern Iowa, they wrestled us better than anyone.” Gavin Stika, OSU’s newest 197-pounder, allowed an 18-6 major decision with riding time to No. 16 Yonger Bastida. A win would’ve put OSU back in front, but instead, left heavyweight Luke Surber needing a pin in the final bout for the dual win. No. 29 Surber failed to record a takedown as No. 21 Sam Schuyler collected a 4-2 win and ultimately, a Cyclone victory.

Despite the loss, the Cowboys remain hopeful that this weekend was an anomaly. “I know this sucks, these two losses, but lets use it to help us achieve something better,” Gfeller said. “Something we haven’t done in a while, and I think we still can. We got the guys to do it. Call me crazy but we’ll see come March.”

Breaking down the numbers Iowa State defeats OSU 20-12

Alicia Young

Rowdy Baribeau Staff Reporter Two nights, two losses. This weekend was difficult for No. 3 Oklahoma State. The Cowboys fell to No. 7 Iowa State 20-12 in Gallagher-Iba Arena on Sunday. OSU also lost to Northern Iowa 19-15 on Saturday. This is the first time the Cowboys have had back-to-back losses in Gallagher-Iba Arena since 1993. Here are a few statistics from Sunday’s dual. 3: Bouts without a takedown from Luke Surber. Luke Surber, OSU’s heavyweight, has lost his last three matches. During his three-match losing streak, Surber has struggled in the bottom position and struggled to get takedowns. Surber, an undersized heavyweight, and also his first year as at that weight class. Cowboy coach

John Smith said he understands that progression takes time, but also knows Surber needs to get takedowns. “I thought he had a couple good defenses, but never really came too close to getting a takedown,” Smith said. “That’s what really needs to change for him if he’s gonna have any success at the weight for this season.” 1: Trevor Mastrogiovanni suffered his first loss of the season. No. 6 Trevor Mastrogiovanni has had one of the best seasons of any Cowboy this year, but No. 19 Kysen Terukina became the first wrestler this season to hand Mastrogiovanni a loss. Mastrogiovanni has been impressive in the bottom position this year, but Terukina wasn’t letting Mastrogiovanni have that same success. Mastrogiovanni lost to Terukina in a close bout 2-1 with Terukina riding him out. 10: Consecutive wins for Kaden Gfeller. A 15-6 major decision loss to start the sea-

son raised questions about No. 14 Kaden Gfeller’s wrestling and if he could get back to his peak form. Gfeller has shut down any more questions about his wrestling following a 6-4 sudden victory over No 21. Jarrett Degen. The match was tight in the third period with Gfeller getting an escape within the final seconds to push him into sudden victory. In a sprawl with Degen, Gfeller secured the takedown to take the match. Gfeller’s sudden victory sent the fans in GIA into a frenzy as he pounded his chest, flexed his muscles and pointed to himself. Gfeller spoke about his energy and why celebrated the way he did after the nail-biting finish. “I pointed at my heart, just because, you know it took heart in that match specifically,” Gfeller said. “And everything I’ve been through the last couple of years, that was a cool moment for me to come back and beat a wrestler like that in Gallagher.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Stika’s shot

How the 197-pounder has done filling in for Ferrari Daniel Allen Staff Reporter

Redshirt junior Gavin Sitka was thrown into the limelight on short notice. Stika found out about his teammate AJ Ferrari’s car wreck just like the rest of his teammates. On Friday, it was officially announced he would be starting in place of Ferrari, a defending national champion. The pressure coming with the news and overall magnitude of the situation would seemingly be overwhelming to most wrestlers with little starting experience. Oklahoma State wrestling coach John Smith, however, says nerves were never an issue for Stika. Smith said Sitka has always been ready for the opportunity. “I’m glad Gavin is getting the opportunity to wrestle,” Smith said. “(That is) something that he deserves.” On Saturday night, Sitka was slated to face Northern Iowa freshman John Gunderson. The Cowboys trailed the Panthers 16-12 following Dakota Geer’s loss in the 184-pound bout. While not producing much offense, Sitka’s lone takedown would ultimately be enough to win the 197-pound bout and cut Northern Iowa’s lead to just one, as the Cowboys trailed 16-15 heading into the final bout. Regardless of the outcome, Sitka did what was asked of him. He came in on short notice, won his bout, and gave Oklahoma State a chance to win. In Sunday’s dual against No. 7 Iowa State, Sitka was scheduled to face Yonger Bastida, the first ranked opponent of his career. Bastida was just as advertised— explosive, strong on top, and quick on his feet. Sitka dropped his bout 18-6, however, a result that ultimately determined the outcome of the dual to a major degree, eerily similar to the circumstances regarding Saturday night’s bout. Had Sitka won, the Cowboys would have regained the lead over Iowa State, which led 13-12 heading into his bout, and had to rely on Luke Surber to win the dual for Oklahoma State. “He just got overwhelmed a bit against a great athlete, big (197) pounder,” Smith said. “But I thought he had a great match yesterday, and it was a great win for him, a great memory (for Gavin).” With Ferrari out indefinitely, Sitka is the guy at 197 pounds for the Cowboys. He has embraced his opportunity so far, and Smith expects good things from him for the remainder of his time as starter.

WHEN IS LITTLE MUCH?

There is a short chorus that has encouraged me many times. “Little is much if God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There’s a crown and you can win it. If you go in Jesus’ name.” The woman, who poured the precious ointment on Jesus just before he was crucified, was criticized for “wasting” this expensive item. Yet, Jesus said everywhere the gospel is preached this woman’s action would be told. (Mk 14:3-9) Little things mean a lot as we are willing to serve the Lord. Paul mentions many in Romans 16 who helped him. The Good Samaritan stopped to help the man beaten and robbed. (Lu.10:30-37) Paul writes as you have opportunity, do good to all men, especially to other believers.(Gal.6:10) When the poor widow dropped the two pennies, all that she had, into the temple offering. Jesus said she gave more the large offerings given. Her “large giving” was in relation to what she had. (Mk.12:41-44)

Many people may plan to give when they receive a great amount of money, but that large amount of money may never come. We may plan to give time or talent to a project when we have more time, but that perfect time arrangement may never happen. Again, the apostle Paul encourages us “as you have opportunity, do good to all men.” We never know when a little gesture of kindness, with money, or helping in an area of service, spending a little time with a person, a word of encouragement, will be just the action that will be a great help to someone. These can be practical ways of living out the Lord’s challenge to love one another. This is the fulfilling of the many commandments in the Bible: loving people by word and action.

Because of this,I have a more structured style.” Grace Potts loves wearing jeans, Hey Dude Shoes and western jewelry. She is a junior agricultural economics major, so her style is practical when sitting through a lecture or working in a field. “I wear a lot of Pendleton Wool items,” Potts said. “This is because I am a brand rep for Ranchy Design, a company that specializes in making fashionable clothes for farmers and ranchers. I also commonly wear clothing with the Power Plus logo because I am associated with their cattle operation.” Landrie Lewallen, a junior applied exercise science major, dresses comfortably to suit her athletic classes. She usually wears leggings and a t-shirt. She is currently enrolled in ethics in sports administration and coaching and principles of strength and conditioning.

“In my strength and conditioning class we go over different workout movements and make a workout routine,” Lewallen said. “We can’t really show up in jeans because you have to move around.” Lewallen’s classes do not require her to dress professionally, even for presentations.

I went to a private school, so I wore a uniform every day and was taught that what you wear is a reflection of how much you respect your professors.” Kennedy, Potts, Lewallen and Ziske wear different styles that are influenced by their academic majors in some way.
