18th ranked Barton Wrestling places three at Doane Open #GoBarton

The No. 18 ranked Barton Community College wrestling team closed out the fall semester with three placers Saturday while going 31-37 overall in the Doane Open held in Crete, Nebraska.

Two of Barton's placers finished in the fourth spot with 8th ranked Gage Gomez making the biggest news of the Cougars' day knocking off the nation's 133 division top ranked Munkhbat Bat-erdene in a 3:52 fall in the quarterfinals. Gomez reached the quarters with a 19 second pin of Central Christian College's Terrell Banuelos and a 7-1 win over Daniel Leal of Iowa Western but was bounced in the semifinal round by No. 2 ranked Boo Dryden of Northeast Oklahoma A&M in a 4-0 decision. Gomez bounced back with a piled up 19-7 major decision victory over NAIA 3rd ranked Trevor Murano of Grand View before having the day end in the third place match on the short end of 4-1 score to JD Rader of Nebraska-Kearney.

In the 174 division, 5th ranked Gage McBride piled up two technical falls in his first three matches to roll into the semifinals. McBride won 17-1 over Nebraska Wesleyan's Matthew Frick and 16-1 over NWKTC's Bowman Ellis with an 8-4 decision over Chris Guest of Grand Valley sandwiched between. The run on the championship side of the bracket came to an end with a 13-4 major decision to Grand View's Gabriel Rangel. Recovering for a 6-3 win over NEO's Kalin Winkler, McBride was taken down 2:56 into the third place match to unattached Jonah Egli.

Keaton Sander was one of two Cougars to have their day ended on the six match rule having to settle for 6th place of the 141 division with his two losses coming against nationally ranked opponents. Sander made it to the quarterfinal round with a 4-0 win over NEO's Corbin Nirschi and an 8-1 victory over Grand View's Sam Loyd before getting bounded by NAIA 7th ranked Grayson Brenna of Grand View by a 1:51 fall. Landing in the sixth round of the consolation bracket, Sander won 5-2 over NEO's Jory Brummett before registering a 4:22 fall over Nebraska-Kearney's Scott Fulsos. Losing by a 16-1 technical fall in the semifinals to NCAA Division II 6th ranked Jonathan Killingsworth of Nebraska-Kearney, Sander wasn't able to compete in the fifth place match in what would have been a rematch of the quarterfinal loss to Brenna.

Jacob Robles was the other Cougar having his day cut short beginning the six match trek with consecutive falls, the first coming in just thirty seconds over Central Christian's Brecken Wedel and a 5:00 pin of Lee Harrington of Nebraska-Kearney. Sent to the consolation side by The University of Nebraska's Austin Emerson by a 2:31 fall, Robles advanced with two more back flattening ends with a 2:31 victory over Concordia University's Christopher James and a 4:38 win pinned on Midland University's Alton Johnson. The day ended a match later after an 8-6 decision over Eli Hinojosa of Chadron State as Robles was unable to compete in round seven against NCAA Division II 3rd ranked Jarrod Hinrichs of Nebraska-Kearney.

The Cougars will have about three weeks off the competitive mat before boarding the bus to Fort Wayne, Indiana, as Barton's next action comes January 4-5 in the NWCA/NJCAA National Duals.
