The tournament, founded in 1994, now includes junior, high school, and college portions and the college version has grown from a four-way college dual to a 16-team invitational.
Tsirtsis earned five straight wins to grab the 149 lbs title, defeating Stanford's Jake Berry and Wyoming's Jaron Jensen in the round of 32 and 16, respectively. In the quarterfinals, Tsirtsis captured his biggest win of the weekend, a 14-1 major decision over North Dakota State's Kyla Gliva. He defeated Oklahoma State's Boo Lewallen and NC State's Beau Donahue in the semifinals and finals, both by decisions.
Cory Crooks (141), Oliver Pierce (157), Conner Small (174), and Cade Belshay (197) also wrestled officially for the Sun Devils while several others competed unattached (results below).
The Sun Devils are back in action just before the new year at the prestigious Midlands Championships hosted by Northwestern on Dec. 29-30.
