Wyoming Cowboys Wrestling Secures Landmark Victory Over South Dakota State
The University of Wyoming wrestling team achieved a significant milestone by defeating No. 10 South Dakota State, 24-18, marking their first victory over a top 10 opponent in eight years. Despite previously being overlooked in the NWCA Coaches' Poll, the Cowboys showcased their strength, having previously scored more points against No. 1 Penn State than any other team this season. Key performances included Jared Hill's overtime pin of No. 17 Cael Swensen, which shifted the momentum in favor of Wyoming. Sloan Swan also contributed with a crucial decision win over No. 27 Marcus Espinoza-Owens. Additional victories from Eddie Neitenbach and Christian Carroll solidified the Cowboys' lead. With this win, Wyoming improved to 4-3 overall and remains undefeated in Big 12 competition at 3-0. The team is set to face No. 24 West Virginia next weekend.
