Orozco, a junior out of Murrieta, Calif., received Outstanding Heavyweight Wrestler honors at the Menlo Open by going a perfect 4-0, which included a trio of wins against NCAA opponents. Orozco received a bye and an injury default victory in the 184 lb. bracket before earning a pair of wins to advance to the championship match against Justin Pichedwatana of San Francisco State. The match went to overtime, but Orozco earned the triumph with a late takedown in the first overtime period for the 5-3 win. Orozco has now won a bracket three times on the season, and is 16-1 as the No. 2-ranked ranked wrestler in the NAIA.
