Twelve `Runners Headed to Southern Scuffle

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The final regular-season tournament of the year has arrived for the Cal State Bakersfield wrestling team. The Roadrunners will tackle the 2023 Southern Scuffle, presented by Compound Sportswear, starting on New Year's Day.

Upcoming Schedule
  • at Southern Scuffle, Jan. 1-2, Chattanooga, Tenn.
  • vs. #4/#7 Michigan, Jan. 8, Bakersfield, Calif.
Quotes from Head Coach Luke Smith
  • "This is our last big regular-season tournament before we get started with dual meets. Southern Scuffle is a great opportunity to compete against a lot of east coast teams we would not normally get a chance to compete against.
  • "There are multiple nationally-ranked guys at every weight. This is a chance to notch some big wins to get in the rankings and position yourself to qualify for the NCAA Championships in March."
`Runner Notes
  • Bakersfield sent twelve `Runners looking to earn spots to the Reno Tournament of Champions.
  • Josh Brown posted the strongest results for CSUB, going 5-1 at the tourney and earning himself a spot in the travel squad for the Scuffle.
  • At the Cliff Keen Invitational at the beginning of December, Chance Rich posted some upset victories on his way to a seventh-place finish.
