November 24, 2006 | Wrestling

NORMAN, Okla., --  The University of Oklahoma wrestling team will host the 36th Annual Oklahoma Open this Saturday, Nov. 25, at the Howard McCasland Field House.  The event is an all day event.

Last year the Sooners claimed seven individual titles.  Sam Hazewinkel (125), Kyle Terry (141), Matt Storniolo (149), Wes Roberts (174), Justin Dyer (184), Joel Flaggert (197) and Jake Hager (HWT).

Also placing last year for the Sooners were Will Rowe (157) third, Chad Terry (149) third, Cody Hilbun (174) third and Austin David (HWT) who finished fourth.

Last weekend the Sooners competed in the Missouri Open where they placed 10 wrestlers.  Nathan Fernandez earned the Sooners lone individual title at heavyweight in the freshman/sophomore division.

Hazewinkel, Storniolo and Rowe did not compete at the Missouri open because they competed in the 41st NWCA All-Star Classic at the Dallas convention center on Monday night.

The Sooners wrestle their next home dual on Wednesday, Nov. 29, when the University of Central Oklahoma travels to the Howard McCasland Field House.
