Wrestling Dominates Campbell, 28-12, in the Dual at the Daddy – University of Wyoming Athletics


CHEYENNE, Wyoming (10/31/24) – The University of Wyoming wrestling team and Campbell opened up the 2024-25 NCAA wrestling season Thursday night in the Dual at the Daddy. And with the entire collegiate wrestling world watching, the Pokes didn’t disappoint.

In fact, they dominated. Wyoming, at Frontier Park on the grounds of Cheyenne Frontier Days, toppled the Fighting Camels, 28-12.

“It’s awesome. I love doing these things,” Wyoming’s Jore Volk said. “It was fun too. The crowd was awesome. They’re right on top of you. It was an awesome experience, and I hope we do something with UFC Fight Pass every year.”

These same two teams met last year at the Battle in the Barn. That event was put on by UFC Fight Pass, as well, and Campbell came out on top, 23-12.

The revenge exacted by Wyoming on Thursday was quick and loud. The Cowboys sprung two upsets in the first three bouts and rode that to winning seven of 10.

No. 2 Volk (125) got things started with a methodical 2-0 win over No. 13 Anthony Molton. An escape point and a ride-time point accounted for the only scores.

Stockton O’Brien (133) had the match of the night. He pinned No. 15 Domenic Zaccone in the second period and was named Wrestle of the Night for his upset. He was gifted a WWE-style belt following the dual.

Cole Brooks (141) followed suit. He upset No. 29 Shannon Hanna with a takedown in overtime for a 5-2 sudden victory.

No. 25 Jared Hill (157) also won in overtime. He defeated Seth Larson, 8-5.

Cooper Voorhees (165) grinded out a 4-2 decision win over Kendrick Hodge. Eddie Neitenbach (184), in his first collegiate match, won via major decision over Cole Rees, while Joey Novak (197) capped the night emphatically with a pin of Mike Slade.

Wyoming takes a little over a week off before its next competition. The Cowboys host Western Wyoming on Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. in what will also be the Brown and Gold intrasquad dual, thereafter.
