ST. CHARLES, Mo. – Fort Hays State wrestling took fourth place at the MIAA Championships in St. Charles, Mo., on Sunday (Feb. 14). The Tigers scored 39.0 points as a team.
At 184 pounds Jon Inman won his second straight MIAA title going 3-0 on the day. Inman’s path to repeat started with back-to-back pins. The first pin came against Lindenwood’s Kyle Summers at 4:22 and the second was a first-period fall at 2:04 over Central Missouri’s Tyler Nelson. In the championship bout, Inman rolled to a 9-5 decision over Nebraska-Kearney’s Zach Stodden.
Bradley Little was the only other Tiger to see the podium as he claimed second place at 149 pounds. Little cruised through his first two matches of the day on his way to the championship bout. First he scored a technical fall over Newman’s Forlanda Parker, 17-1, then followed up with a pin against Central Oklahoma’s Spencer Rutherford late in the third period at the 6:12 mark. Little was on the brink of his first MIAA Championship but was unable win a nail-biter, dropping the final match to Nebraska-Kearney’s Destin McCauley, 5-4.
Adam Ludwin (125), William Homalon (149), and Joey Dozier (157) were all fourth place finishers for the Tigers and they each went 1-2 on the day.
Dozier’s pin at 2:00 over Zane Heiter from Central Missouri also set a new career high for wins in a season. The senior is now 15-13 for the season.
Nebraska-Kearney won the team title for the fourth straight year scoring 110.5 points. Central Oklahoma was second with 71 points and Lindenwood placed third at 57.5.
The Tigers now have almost two weeks off before they head to Gunnison, Colo., for the NCAA Super Regional which will take place on Saturday, February 27.
