STILLWATER — Alex Facundo hadn’t been a regular in a college wrestling lineup in two years before transferring to Oklahoma State this offseason.
And how was he greeted back to normal competition? With the most ridiculous National Duals stretch that maybe anyone had that weekend.
In four duals across two days, Facundo wrestled No. 3 Simon Ruiz (Cornell), No. 5 Matthew Singleton (NC State), No. 2 Patrick Kennedy (Iowa) and No. 4 Christopher Minto (Nebraska). That’s right, four Top 5 guys in two days.
Facundo went 1-3 that weekend, beating Minto, losing tight matches to Ruiz and Kennedy, and being pinned by Singleton.
