<?xml:namespace prefix="st1" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"?>Laramie, Wyo. ? The Husker wrestling team wrapped up its weekend trip to Wyoming by claiming six individual titles at the Cowboy Open in Laramie on Saturday, including five first-place finishes in the elite division.<?xml:namespace prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"?>
After a 47-0 dual win over Wyoming on Friday night, Nebraska continued its early-season success in its first tournament of the 2007-08 campaign. Five Huskers won the elite division of their weight class, including Jordan Burroughs (149), Chris Oliver (157), Stephen Dwyer (165), Brandon Browne (174) and Craig Brester (197). Freshman Tucker Lane added NU’s final title by winning the heavyweight class of the amateur division.
Burroughs highlighted the day with a dominating performance at 149 pounds. Burroughs, a sophomore, recorded three straight major-decision victories to enter the finals and nearly added another major decision as he capped the day with a 13-7 decision over Adam Hall of Boise State. Burroughs had plenty of competition for the spotlight. Fellow sophomore Craig Brester pinned his first two opponents in 55 seconds and 1:43 and added a 16-1 technical fall to advance to the finals. Brester used a 10-4 decision over Josh Majerus of Chadron State College to win his class.
Junior Chris Oliver also racked up a pin, his coming in the second round in 1:08 against Noomis Jones of AdamsState, as he won the 157 pound class with a 2-1 decision in the finals. Sophomore Stephen Dwyer notched two major decisions before winning a 3-1 overtime match against Eric Coxbill of Wyoming on his way to winning at 165. After sitting out the 2006-07 campaign, junior Brandon Browne shook off the rust with a 13-1 major-decision win in the finals to claim the 174-pound title.
