In addition, freshman Cory Wilhelm also went undefeated for the tournament with a 5-0 record with all pins in the 189-pound weight class. 
Other wrestlers who attended the meet and wrestled well were Charlie Perry, a freshman, and Mike Proctor who went 2-3, pinning one of his opponents and winning by decision his other mach.
