Beavers Win Pac-12 Championship, Five Take Individual Titles, Seven Clinch NCAA Berths
March 05, 2023 | Wrestling
STANFORD, Calif. – Oregon State won its 24th Pac-12 Wrestling Championship in Stanford, California on Sunday. The Beavers completed a dominant day in Maples Pavilion that clinched the first team title since 2016.
Five Oregon State wrestlers won individual titles – including three straight at 165, 174 and 184 - as the Beavers competed in the 2023 Pac-12 Championships.
Brandon Kaylor (125), Cleveland Belton (141), Matthew Olguin (165), Mateo Olmos (174) and Trey Munoz (184) ran the table to take the titles of champs in their weight class.
Kaylor fought hard for his title, edging Nico Provo in the semifinal by a 6-5 margin before clinching the championship by taking down Arizona State's Brandon Courtney in the final after two rounds of sudden victory. The returning All-American clinched another appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Also taking a win in sudden victory, Belton needed the extra time in the semifinal to dispatch Stanford's Jason Miranda. Using much less time to clinch his title, Belton took the championship by fall when he took down Emilio Ysaguirre with a dramatic reversal to secure the result and a trip to Tulsa for the NCAAs.
Déjà vu happened for Olguin on his way to his first Pac-12 crown. He took down No. 3 Shane Griffith for the second consecutive week but needed a bit more time on this occasion. In the second sudden victory period, he won on riding time following a stall on Griffith. His first bout – in the semifinal – came via major decision when he defeated Little Rock's Tyler Brennan by a 9-0 margin.
Olmos found his necessary separation over Tyler Eischens of Stanford with under 40 ticks left in the third for his title win. A takedown of his Stanford opponent clinched the 174-lb. championship and marked his second consecutive win over Eischens and his trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Eager to defend his 184-lb. from a season ago, Trey Munoz used a major decision in the semifinal and a 5-2 decision in the final to do it. After making quick work in the semifinal, he used an escape and takedown to secure his crown and NCAA Tournament bid for Tulsa.
Jason Shaner (133) dropped a 6-1 decision in the final bout but still clinched his trip to Tulsa with his 6-5 decision in the semifinal win over Chance Rich of CSU Bakersfield.
Isaiah Crosby (157) and Tanner Harvey (197) both finished with third place honors. Harvey clinched his first NCAA bid with the Beavers with his third place finish. JJ Dixon (HWT) finished in fourth while Riley Gurr (149) finished sixth.
For the first time since 2015, Oregon State had five individual champions at the event.
Six of the seven Beavers – Kaylor, Shaner, Belton, Olguin, Olmos and Munoz – won their first bouts to secure spots in the championship of their respective weight classes.
