The Ohio State Buckeyes had the most individual champions with five at the Michigan State Open on Saturday.
Winning gold medals were Luke Pletcher (141), Sammy Sasso (149), Carson Kharchla (165), Kaleb Romero (174) and Kollin Moore (197).
Two of the Buckeye champions needed overtime against stars from Oklahoma to claim their titles.
Pletcher defeated No. 1 ranked Dom Demas of Oklahoma in the finals, 2-1, scoring an escape in the tiebreaker then riding out Demas for the win. Moore went into overtime tied at 4-4 with Jakob Woodley, winning the bout 6-4 in sudden victory.
Sasso, a redshirt freshman, and Kharchla, a true freshman, had a great start to their official college careers. Sasso scored a 19-4 technical fall over unattached Kanen Storr from Michigan in the finals. Sasso had three pins and two technical falls on the way to his first college tournament title. Kharchla beat Emil Soehnlen of Purdue, 6-0 in his championship bout.
Romero, a sophomore, also had a big win, beating Illinois true freshman DJ Shannon, 4-2.
Pitt had a pair of individual champions, with Micky Phillippi at 133 and Nino Bonaccorsi at 184 pounds. Phillippi stopped OU’s Anthony Madrigal in the finals 4-2, while Bonaccorsi beat Michigan’s Jelani Embree, 7-1 for the title.
Michigan heavyweight Mason Parris, a 2019 Junior World freestyle champion, beat talented Matt Stencel of Central Michigan in the finals, 9-2.
Other individual champions were Brock Hudkins of Indiana (125) and Kendall Coleman of Purdue (157). Hudkins stopped Central Michigan’s Drew Hildebrandt in the finals, 3-2. Coleman scored a 10-7 victory over Penn’s Anthony Artalona in his title match.
In addition to a loaded Open division, there was also a big freshman/sophomore division held, featuring athletes from many major college programs.
Ohio State press release
By Kyle Kuhlman
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Five Ohio State wrestlers advanced to their respective weight class finals at the season-opening Michigan State Open and all five walked off the mat as champions. Carson Kharchla, Kollin Moore, Luke Pletcher, Kaleb Romero and Sammy Sasso each ignited their 2019-20 season with 5-0 records and hardware to bring back to campus.
While team scores weren’t officially kept for this event, the five Ohio State titles paced the field by a long shot. Pittsburgh had two champions while the other three weight classes were split between Big Ten brethren Indiana, Michigan and Purdue.
CARSON KHARCHLA (165 lbs)
The true freshman from Powell, Ohio, impressed in his collegiate debut. After sending a Wolverine (Cameron Amine) into the consolation bracket with a 3-2 semifinals decision, Kharchla followed by blanking No. 21 Emil Soehnlen (Purdue), 6-0, in the finals bout. This marked his second triumph over a nationally-ranked opponent, blasting No. 20 Troy Keller (Buffalo) via 19-2 tech fall in the quarterfinals.
KOLLIN MOORE (197 lbs)
Moore, ranked No. 1 in the country, played the part well in his first four bouts, cruising to the finals on the strength of four consecutive bonus-point wins. He was then faced with a bit of adversity, trailing 3-1 to No. 16 Jake Woodley (Oklahoma) entering the finals’ third frame. Moore would battle back, however, to force sudden victory and ultimately nab the match-winning takedown in the extra period.
LUKE PLETCHER (141 lbs)
A bump up to 141 pounds for his senior campaign did little to derail Pletcher’s quest for the nation’s top spot. His preseason ranking of No. 3 is certain to change next week after knocking off No. 1 Dom Demas (Oklahoma) in the MSU Open championship bout. The match spilled into a tiebreaker where Pletcher was able to escape on his turn in the referee’s position before riding Demas for the complete 30 seconds and securing a 2-1 win.
KALEB ROMERO (174 lbs)
Romero bounced back from a wrestle-off defeat last week and arose victorious when it mattered most. He starts off his redshirt sophomore year at 5-0 with three straight wins over conference foes to conclude his title run.
SAMMY SASSO (149 lbs)
Whoa. That was impressive. No one could hang with Sasso for a complete 7-minute match as he accumulated three pins and two tech falls to end all bouts early. He faced Michigan’s Kanen Storr in the finals, handing the Wolverine a 19-4 tech fall.
