Cowboy Wrestling Rolls Past Air Force

The Wyoming Cowboys won their fifth straight dual on the mat with a 29-9 victory over Air Force last Saturday night.

The Pokes won seven of the ten matches, which included a pair of bonus point wins. It also marked the ninth straight victory over Air Force.

Junior Bryce Meredith won by tech fall at 141 pounds. The No. 8 ranked wrestler posted a 19-3 win. The other extra point victory was a pin from Branson Ashworth at 165. He won in 49 seconds for his seventh victory by fall this season.

Other wins came from Drew Templeman (125), Archie Colgan (157), Kyle Pope (174), Lucas Lovvorn (184) and Brandon Tribble (285), who won by injury default.

In a release from UW, Cowboys head coach Mark Branch said he saw some positive things after the win.

"It was a good dual to learn from, which is nice this late in the season. These wins make the environment a little better to come back to and train, but we are looking at the bigger picture."

Wyoming is now 6-5 on the season and 3-1 in the Big 12 Conference.

They wrestle at Northern Colorado Wednesday in Greeley at 7 p.m. Then, it’s off to the Sooner State for duals against No. 15 Oklahoma and No. 1 Oklahoma State Friday.
