WARRENSBURG, Mo. - Mitch Arnold advanced to the bracket finals in the 149 lb. weight class as the Newman wrestling team competed in the UCM Open Saturday in Warrensburg, Mo.
Arnold opened his tournament with a win over SIU-Edwardsville's Logun Taylor, who he defeated with a pin in 2:51. The senior followed with a 6-1 decision over Labette's DaKoda Basks, before earning a default win over Missouri's Kellen Bounous to set up a semi-final match with Labette's Kyle Jaquess. Arnold needed three rounds to dispatch of Jaquess, but eventually did so with an 8-3 decision to advance to the finals against Missouri's Brandon Wiest. That was where Arnold's run ended, as Wiest earned a 5-1 win to send Arnold home with a 3-1 record.
Though he lost his first round match, Steven Cooksley also made some national noise for the Jets. The 184-pounder knocked off Labette's Chad Wright, who entered the tournament ranked as the No. 1 184 lb. junior college wrestler, with a pin in 1:27. The win was Cooksley's second over Wright in as many weeks.
Newman fielded 10 other wrestlers in the event.
The Jets will return to action Saturday, traveling to Omaha, Neb., for the UNO Open.
