Brown Earns Podium Finish in Reno

RENO, Nev. – Twelve of Cal State Bakersfield's wrestlers earned valuable experience in Sunday's Reno Tournament of Champions. Headlined by a podium finish from 149-pounder Josh Brown, the Roadrunners wrapped up a full day of wrestling action.

Notables
  • Brown, a redshirt senior from Anaheim, Calif., dropped a 3-1 decision in his first match of the day to Indiana's Nico Bolivar.
  • Brown then went on to five-straight victories, including three-consecutive pins, the last of which came in a grudge match against Bolivar.
  • With the six-match-per-day rule in effect, Brown was forced to bow out of the fifth-place match and would up finishing sixth in the 149-pound bracket.
  • Paul Sharp posted a 4-2 record among the heavyweights on Sunday.
  • Jose Ladin (141) recovered from a first-round loss to go 3-2 on the day.
  • 157-pounders Devyn Che and Brock Rogers both went 2-2 at Reno TOC.
