KEARNEY, Neb. - The Fort Hays State men's wrestling team had two competitors reach the podium Saturday (Nov. 22) at the Younes Hospitality Open. Ryan Patterson placed fourth in the 197-pound elite bracket, while D'Andre Brown placed sixth in the 125-pound elite competition.
 
The Tigers accumulated 20 wins on the day, including 12 in the elite brackets and eight in the intermediate division. Five Tigers picked up multiple wins inside the Kearney SportsPlex.
 
Patterson reached the third-place bout thanks to three-straight wins in the consolation bracket. After falling to the top-ranked wrestler in the country in the quarterfinal, the junior picked up a 15-0 technical fall and an 8-4 decision to reach the consolation semifinal. Patterson was awarded a medical forfeit win over the ninth-ranked wrestler in the nation before falling to a Division I competitor from Wyoming 8-6 in the third-place match.
 
Brown also used a big run in the consolation bracket to reach the podium. After falling by decision in the first round, Brown won four in a row to reach the consolation semifinals. The redshirt junior opened his run with a pin before picking up a win via medical forfeit. Brown then added an 8-6 decision and extended his day with a 4-1 sudden victory win before dropping the final two matches of the day against DI opponents.
 
Jarret Mader was the only Tiger to win multiple bouts in the championship bracket, doing so in the elite 149 bracket. The junior transfer picked up a pair of high-scoring decisions, winning 18-14 in the first round and 13-11 in the second round before dropping his next two matchups.
 
Corbin White went 2-2 in the 157-pound elite bracket, securing a 8-0 decision and a 10-5 sudden victory on the backside of the bracket. Cash Thomas (157 elite) and Tacoma Augustine (141 intermediate) both recorded one win on the day.
 
Competing unattached, Kaden Markley went 3-2 in the 149-pound intermediate division, including two pins. Four Tigers also added intermediate wins while competing unattached, including Aiden Shields (125), Micah Castro (157), Ernesto Duenez (174) and Cameron Shultz (184).
 
The Tigers will return to action in two weeks when they host a tri-dual with No. 25 Colorado School of Mines and Ouachita Baptist on Saturday, December 6 before hosting the Bob Smith Open the following day.
