Oregon State Upsets #15 North Carolina on Senior Day
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State rode a wave of momentum from Nash Singleton and Ethan Stiles to a 22-14 victory over no. 15 North Carolina in front of a senior day crowd of 1,287.
The Beavers trailed 11-5 early in the dual before the duo of Stiles and Singleton tied it at 11 with back-to-back upset victories over ranked opponents at 141 and 149. Trey Munoz opened his senior day meet in style with a last-second tech fall. The senior chased down UNC’s Robert Platt throughout the bout and scored a final takedown with a second remaining to win 21-6. The Tar Heels responded with a win in the HWT bout, leading to a back-and-forth battle between no. 13 Maximo Renteria and no. 11 Spencer Moore at 125.

Two takedowns knotted the bout at 6-6 and sent it to overtime with Renteria finishing just a second short of the riding time point. A takedown for Moore secured three points for UNC. After another UNC win, Singleton swung momentum back into Oregon State’s favor at 141.

No. 16 UNC Wrestling Grabs Share Of ACC Title With Win Over Stanford
STANFORD, Calif. – The 16th-ranked North Carolina wrestling team closed out the regular season portion of the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule, cruising to a 24-9 victory over No. 17 Stanford Friday night. With the win, Carolina claims a share of the ACC regular season title, splitting the dual meet championship with Virginia Tech and NC State, following the Hokies’ victory over the Wolfpack in Blacksburg this evening. The dual championship is the 19th in program history for the Tar Heels, the first since the 2018-19 campaign. Beginning the night at 157 pounds, Sonny Santiago kickstarted the Tar Heels on the night with a 13-7 decision in the opening match.
Dropping the ensuing bout at 165 pounds in sudden victory, 18th-ranked Joshua Ogunsanya earned arguably the best win of the night, a 15-13 decision over No. 4 Lorenzo Norman. Trailing 9-3 entering the final period, Ogunsanya collected four third-period takedowns, clipping the nation’s fourth-ranked.
After Gavin Kane’s decision at 184 pounds, Carolina secured its next victory at heavyweight, with Nolan Neves claiming the third-period score, earning the 3-2 decision over No. 29 Peter Ming. For Neves, the Tar Heel redshirt-freshman won his third-straight ACC dual, all utilizing late-match scores.
A Stanford forfeit at 125 pounds awarded Carolina six team points, followed by No. 11 Ethan Oakley’s 4-2 victory over sixth-ranked Tyler Knox. Rounding out the match at 149 pounds, No. 5 Lachlan McNeil and 15th-ranked Jaden Abas battled to a 1-1 deadlock after seven minutes. In the overtime period, McNeil converted on the takedown and collected four near-fall points, securing the 8-1 win.

No. 10 Hokies take down No. 7 NC State in regular season finale
BLACKSBURG – It was once again unbelievable in Blacksburg on Friday night as No. 10 Virginia Tech wrestling (9-2, 5-1) handed rivals No. 7 NC State (11-2, 5-1) their first conference loss for a share of the conference regular season title in front of a record crowd in Cassell Coliseum. With the win, Tech secured the seventh trophy in the Tony Robie era since taking over the program in 2017.
Electric Ventresca Clinches the Dual
The 2023 All-American No. 5 Eddie Ventresca has returned to form and put himself in title contention with a 4-1 victory over No. 3 Vincent Robinson in thrilling fashion to seal the dual for the Hokies with one match remaining. It was a close first period with both wrestlers nearing a score but to no avail, ending the first period scoreless. Robinson would get on the board first with an escape in the second to which Ventresca responded in kind with an escape of his own in the third. With time dwindling down in regulation tied at one, Ventresca struck again for the deciding – and clinching – takedown to secure the match and the dual meet. … more at … https://hokiesports.com/news/2025/02/22/no-10-hokies-take-down-no-7-nc-state-in-regular-season-finale

Editor’s Notes ; Updates on all state championships can be reached via USA Wrestling’s web page.

NCAA DI Rankings Updated (2/18/2025)
You had to know that the final few weeks of the collegiate season were going to be eventful! There were just too many good matchups for the status quo to run into March. On the second to last Friday of the regular season, we saw another #1 fall from the ranks of the unbeaten. For the second straight year, Beau Bartlett knocked off Jesse Mendez in a dual meet. The two would meet in the Big Ten and NCAA finals. Time will tell if that’s the case again. With Mendez’s loss, we had to make some changes at the top of 141 lbs. Bartlett remains unbeaten and rose from number three to number one. Mendez has a win over Bartlett in the All-Star Classic and has the Vegas title, wins over four others in the top ten and three others in the top 15. Not that we really use it as a metric in these rankings, but Mendez had the best RPI in this weight and it’s easy to see why. He gets the number two and Andrew Alirez slides down to three. Though he’s unbeaten, Alirez’s only matches against top 16 opponents are #9 CJ Composto and #16 Josh Edmond. A similar adjustment was made at 197 lbs.

For Morgan State wrestling coach, legacy of winning Olympic gold ‘goes far and wide’
In 1988, Kenny Monday became the Games’ first Black wrestling champion
When Morgan State University wrestling head coach Kenny Monday was just a 10-year-old boy watching the 1972 Olympics from his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he decided he would become the world’s best wrestler and win his own gold medal. Sixteen years later, he would make history at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, as the first Black wrestler to do just that. “I think we [Team USA] had maybe three gold medalists that year [1972], Dan Gable, Wayne Wells and Ben Peterson. … I kind of dialed in and watched those guys,” Monday said. “Man, that was the first time that I realized that the Olympic gold was the pinnacle of the sport of wrestling because there’s no professional league. So once I realized that [I thought], ‘Man, that’s what I want to be.’”
Monday was introduced to wrestling at age 6 by his two older brothers. His early involvement in an after-school YMCA wrestling program blossomed into a career that would include two Olympic appearances, gold and silver medals, and a chance to lead the first Division I wrestling program at a historically Black college or university and give back to the next generation of Black wrestlers.

Historically Black colleges capitalize on growing interest by adding sport optionsRead now
National Wrestling Hall of Famer Charles “Charlie” Shivers was the sports director at the Y in Monday’s neighborhood and led the wrestling program the Monday brothers participated in. As the smallest member of the team, Monday initially struggled but learned foundational wrestling techniques with Shivers’ help. “I was the smallest and youngest kid when I started wrestling on the team, so I couldn’t beat anyone on the team. I was getting whooped every day. But it was really a great beginning because my coach is like, ‘Man, just don’t quit. Just keep coming back. Don’t quit.’ … And I got better as I went,” Monday said.
He eventually advanced out of the YMCA and moved on to different wrestling programs. He went undefeated in high school with a record of 140-0-1 and attracted interest from many major colleges. However, as a Tulsa native, his decision came down to the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, and he chose State.
Monday posted a record of 121-12-2 at Oklahoma State and won the NCAA title in 1984. After graduating, he competed in the 1984 Olympic trials, hoping to secure the singular spot for his weight class, but came in fifth place. “1985, ’86, ’87 were building years. Those were the years that I really, really honed my craft and really got to the level to where I felt like I could compete,” Monday said.
After Monday made the 1988 Olympic team for the Seoul Games, three-time world champion Leroy Kemp, a Black wrestler who was set to compete in the 1980 Moscow Olympics before the U.S. boycott, served as a mentor and friend. “I was poised to be the first Black Olympic champion in 1980,” Kemp said. “Then when that didn’t happen in ’84, the only other person that I wanted to have the distinction and honor was Kenny Monday. … It was like he was me. I got to live vicariously through him.” … more at … https://andscape.com/features/for-morgan-state-wrestling-coach-legacy-of-winning-olympic-gold-goes-far-and-wide/
