    Oklahoma State wrestlers earn U.S. Open seeds

    STILLWATER, Okla. -- Seeds have been finalized in men’s freestyle for the U.S. Open, set for Friday and Saturday at Public Hall in Cleveland, Ohio and five wrestlers with Oklahoma State connections are included on the list of seeded wrestlers.

    At 55 kilograms, Obe Blanc is the No. 1 seed. 2008 NCAA champion Coleman Scott is the No. 5 seed at 60 kilos and current Gator Club assistant Bryce Hasseman is the No. 5 seed at 84 kilos. 2008 All-American Jack Jensen is seeded fourth at 96 kilos and 2005 NCAA champ Steve Mocco is the No. 5 seed at 120 kilos.

    Additionally, current Cowboys Josh Kindig and Matt White will both compete at the FILA Junior National Championships held as part of the same event.

    In men’s freestyle, the top eight seeds in each weight class will not compete until Saturday. The committee selected alternates in some of the weight classes.

    A men’s freestyle qualifying tournament for the U.S. Open will be held on Friday in the freestyle weight classes with 20 or more wrestlers entered. A qualifying tournament will be held at 60 kg/132 lbs., 66 kg/145.5 lbs., 74 kg/163 lbs. and 84 kg/185 lbs.

    The top eight finishers in the men’s freestyle qualifying tournament will join the top eight seeds in the final day of the U.S. Open on Saturday.

    A qualifying tournament will not be held at 55 kg/121 lbs., 96 kg/211.5 lbs. and 120 kg/264.5 lbs. since fewer than 20 wrestlers were entered in those divisions. All wrestlers in those three weight classes will compete only on Saturday.

    The top seven finishers in each weight class from all three styles at the U.S. Open will qualify for June’s U.S. World Team Trials in Oklahoma City.
