This past weekend, 46 wrestling teams gathered in Las Vegas for the Cliff Keen Invitational. The meet featured many of the top wrestlers in the nation, a fact the Flashes learned early, as just two of their 10 competitors advanced past the first round of matches.
Senior Will Bardezbain led the way for the Flashes in the 125-pound bracket. On his way to the quarterfinals, he beat Anthony DeCesare (Air Force), 12-6, in his first match and pinned Trent Olson (Wyoming) in the round of 32. He then upset No. 4 seed Dalton Macri (North Carolina), 18-15. However, he fell to No.
