MITCHELL, S.D. – The 25th-ranked Fort Hays State men’s wrestling team had four wrestlers place at the Dakota Wesleyan Open on Saturday (Nov. 11), including\u00a0Tony Caldwell<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0who was the champion in the 285-pound bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caldwell won a total of four matches on his way to the title. The junior gutted out an 8-7 decision victory in the championship match over Edward Hajas of Augustana University, scoring two takedowns and winning via the ride-time point. Caldwell won by a fall in his first match of the day, followed by two decisions to earn his way to the final match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. 3 Tereus Henry<\/a><\/dfn> posted a second-place finish in the open tournament at 197 pounds. Henry finished 3-1 in the open, handling his first two opponents. Henry claimed a sudden victory in overtime of his semifinal contest but was defeated by a 10-4 decision in the finals against eighth-ranked Caden Steffen of Southwest Minnesota State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew Bell<\/a><\/dfn> navigated his way to the consolation finals after being defeated in the opening round, ultimately placing fourth. Bell rattled off five-consecutive wins on the consolation side of the bracket, including two pins and one shutout major decision, before reaching the daily match limit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aidan Johnson<\/a><\/dfn> finished fifth place in the 184-pound division. Johnson won his first two matches to reach the semifinals before falling dropping a sudden-victory decision, 4-1. Johnson won his fifth-place match 16-10 over Cayden White of Minot State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
