Five Tigers place at Central Missouri Open

Fort Hays State had five place-winners this weekend at the Central Missouri Open in Warrenburg, Mo., highlighted by Tanner Kriss' runner-up finish at 197 pounds.
 
Kriss finished 3-1 on the day, picking up falls over Mickey Pelfrey (Maryville University) in 2:17 and Nick Lovejoy (Central Missouri) in 2:21.  After a 2-1 decision against Julian Smith of McKendree University, ranked eighth in the nation, Kriss fell, 10-2 to Austin Schafer of Oklahoma State University in the Championship match.
 
Also in the 197 division, Zack Grimes finished sixth, going 2-3 on the day with wins over Ryan Beltz (Maryville University) and Todd Brier (Central Missouri). 
 
Newcomer Trey Page took third in the 285 pound weight class, finishing the day at 7-1 after battling his way through the consolation bracket.  After dropping his first match of the day to King College's Cody Davis (9-8 decision), Page rattled off seven consecutive victories in the wrestleback rounds – starting with a pin in 1:40 over Caleb Braun of Central Missouri.  Page would settle the score with Davis later on in the day, defeating him 6-2 in the consolation semifinals.  An 11-1 major decision over King College's Garrett Fosdyck sealed third place for Page.
 
Adam Ludwin finished fourth at 125 pounds, going 4-2 on the day. Ludwin started the day with a 15-0 technical fall over Jerin Hudgens (Missouri Valley Club), and reached the semifinals with decisions over Jaret Singh (Maryville University) and Malacai Collins (Central Missouri). 
 
At 149 pounds, Noah Killip went 4-2 and picked up fifth-place honors.  In the first round, Killip won by tech fall over Lane Lassister (Northeastern Oklahoma A&M University), 15-0, and followed it up with decisions over Blake Pepper (Missouri) and Matt De Rosa (Missouri Valley Club).  After falling the semifinals and consolation semifinals, Killip earned fifth due to medical forfeit by Maryville University's Darick Lapaglia.
 
The Tigers return to the mat next week on Saturday, Nov. 23 at the Nebraska-Kearney Open in Kearney, Neb.
