Gfeller Wins OSU’s Second Big 12 Wrestler of the Week Honor
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State wrestler Kaden Gfeller was named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week Tuesday by the league's coaches after defeating OU's Dom Demas on Sunday night in Norman.
In the first bout of the Bedlam dual, Gfeller set the tone early when he took on the OU All-American, who was ranked sixth at 141 pounds coming into the match. With the score tied at 2-2 going into the third period, Gfeller outscored Demas 7-1 in a final period that included two takedowns and a two-point near fall, securing the 9-3 decision and put the Cowboys up 3-0 on the team scoreboard.
This is the second weekly conference honor for Oklahoma State this season and first of the season for Gfeller. It is the second weekly conference honor his career, with the first coming on January 7, 2019.
The win improved Gfeller's record to 3-1 on the season and bumped the Cowboy up one spot in Intermat's 149-pound rankings to No. 19.
