The Missouri wrestlers had a tough time at the NCAA Wrestling Championship in Philadelphia, Pa.
Only two Missouri grapplers placed in the tournament. Junior heavyweight Dom Bradley, and senior captain Todd Schavrien were the two Tiger finishers. Bradley dropped just one match to top ranked Zachery Rey from Lehigh, taking third. Schavrien lost his final two matches to take sixth place at 141 pounds.
Junior Dorian Henderson and sophomore Brent Haynes both were sent to the consolation round early, but managed to get wins to stay afloat. Both exited the tournament later the second day of competition.
Redshirt freshmen Zach Toal and Kyle Bradley as well as freshman Alan Waters and sophomore Nathan McCormick all bowed out of their first NCAA Championship with tournament records of 1-2.
Kyle Bradley lost in a heartbreaking final minute as Edinboro’s Torsten Gillespie got the fall victory with just 11 seconds remaining. Toal saw his tournament come to an end with Penn State’s Stephen Burak collecting riding time to win and Waters was the next victim of No. 4 James Nicholson of Old Dominion.
