LA GRANDE, Ore. — Following Saturday's duals, Eastern Oregon men's wrestling hosted the highly competitive Mountaineer Open on Sunday, where several Mountaineers delivered impressive performances and placed within their weight classes.
In the 125-pound division, Jack Eylar fought his way to a second-place finish, defeating Nathan Hernandez (Arizona Christian University) and Jeremy Oani (Clackamas Community College) before ultimately falling to Ane'e Vigil of Clackamas by technical fall (18-3) in the title match.
Mason Wolcott earned sixth place in the 141-pound bracket, advancing through the bracket to the fifth-place match before being bested by Matix Cooklin of Umpqua Community College in a 6-0 decision.
At 165 pounds, Michael Fox claimed second place with a strong tournament run, winning his first three matches over Triston Donald (Washington State University), Luke Bayne (Big Bend Community College), and Gabe Lake (North Idaho College). Fox reached the final match but conceded to Henry Dillingham of Clackamas due to a medical forfeit.
In the 174-pound weight class, Devin Pierce secured a fifth-place finish, winning the position over Ethan Contreras by injury default.
In the 285-pound division, Justin Sawai and Darrian Hoobery each progressed through the bracket to a forfeited fifth-place match, both finishing in sixth place.
The Mountaineers will now prepare for their upcoming Southern Oregon Dual in Ashland on November 9.
