January Home Meets

[GopherHole]

The Jacks recently finished up their long home stand, going 5-1 during that stretch. This stretch included one conference meet, one cupcake, and three quality programs that ventured east to Brookings.

SDSU 29 - Buffalo 8

SDSU 54 - Dakota Weysleyan 0

SDSU 19 - Boise State 12

SDSU 29 - Northern Colorado 10 (WWC)

SDSU 23 - Cal Poly 10

#17 Oregon State 35 - SDSU 6

This was a great chance to see some very good wrestling in the home setting. I did not make it out as it is still 360 miles from home for me.

#7 ranked Cody Pack continues his impressive season as he went undefeated during this stretch including a hard fought battle against #21 ranked Alex Elder from OSU. That match was tied 1-1 in the third period, but the OSU grappler had the 1-minute riding time advantage. Pack was apparently relentless in attacking in that third period and picked up the winning takedown with six seconds remaining.

#20 Nate Rotert lost a couple of matches, during that stretch including by a fall to #21 ranked wrestler from OSU. Rotert had been ranked as high as #14 this year.

Jacks return home this coming weekend vs Utah Valley. After a very disappointing loss at Wyoming the Jacks bounce back to beat Air Force. The loss to Wyoming was disappointing considering we beat Wyoming last year. I did notice Rotert did not wrestle at Wyoming but did wrestling against Air Force. I had heard he was injured but apparently not.

Look forward to seeing this team again in Frost this weekend.

Rotert was wearing a shoulder brace in today's match.

Re: January Home Meets

Rotert was wearing a shoulder brace in today's match.

He basically had a season-ending injury, tearing loose several ligaments as I understand it. They are taking it day by day and match by match. He may wrestle some matches, he may not. He is not going to be practicing much, and will have to have surgery after the season (or his season) is over.
