The Jackrabbit wrestling team held its fall wrestling clinic, Saturday, featuring two-time All-American Ty Eustice as the keynote speaker. Thirty-one athletes and numerous coaches were on hand for the event.
"Ty did an excellent job," said head wrestling coach Jason Liles. "He showed me that he knows how to break down the basics and I think it was really good for our participants and our athletes. I think everyone enjoyed the clinic because of his expertise."
The Jacks also hosted their annual wrestle-offs. Weston Blasius picked up a pair wins to lead SDSU. Tyler Sorenson notched the biggest win of the day, winning 16-4 over Scott Elliott.
The Jacks return to the mat Saturday as they host the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open beginning at 9 a.m. in Frost Arena.
Weston Blasius dec. Nick Flynn, 5-4
Tyler Sorenson maj. dec. Scott Elliot, 16-4
Nick Flynn dec. Nick Hagar, 7-5

I am not sure what these wrestle-offs mean. Elliott is listed on the roster at 174 and Sorenson is listed at 197. I wonder if they are closer in weight at this time. Also, Blasius is not listed on the current roster. Looks like he was a Jr in 2007. Sounds like more of an exhibition than a wrestle-off.
