‘Z’ Best in the Big 12
Oklahoma State heavyweight starter Alan Gelogaev was selected as the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week on Jan. 23 for his pair of top 10 wins, including a 6-1 win over No. 9 Levi Cooper of Arizona State and a 13-1 major decision over No. 10 Matt Gibson of Iowa State. It was his first time to receive the award and the first honor for OSU this year.
Record Keepers
When Oklahoma State edged Iowa, 17-16, on Jan. 7, its win was much more than just upsetting the No. 1 team on their home mat in front of a sold out crowd. The Cowboys ended the Hawkeyes’ unbeaten dual streak at 84, keeping their own record-streak of 84, set from 1959-66, tied for the best ever. OSU also bookended the Hawkeyes’ streak, defeating them on Jan. 5, 2008, in their last loss before it began.
‘Dig Deep
OSU 141-pounder Josh Kinidig has run the gauntlet over his past few matches, as his pairing with NC State’s No. 12 Darrius Little will mark his third top-13 opponent in four bouts. He lost a tough 9-7 decision to Iowa’s No. 5 Montell Marion on Jan. 7 and earned a major decision over No. 13 Luke Goettl of Iowa State Jan. 22. Kindig has already faced six ranked opponents this season, second on the team only to Gelogaev’s eight.
Jordan Fall-iver
What OSU 133-pounder Jordan Oliver has done so far this year is nothing short of remarkable. The junior’s 12-1 record includes 10 falls (eight in the first period) and two technical falls. Here’s a look at his bout-by-bout results:
11/25 Shayden Terukina Iowa State F;2:38
12/4 No. 10 David Thorn Minnesota F;2:16
12/11 Derek Geiges Oklahoma F;1:30
12/18 Cody Tow Cal Poly F;1:10
12/18 Justin Durham CSU-Bakersfield F;1:06
12/18 Dylan Hyder Air Force F;0:47
12/18 James Roberts Oregon State F;1:09
12/18 No. 16 Zach Zehner Wyoming F;1:32
12/30 Shawn Jones Boise State F;5:52
1/1 No. 16 Zach Zehner Wyoming F;5:44
1/7 No. 4 Tony Ramos Iowa L,4-3,TB1
1/20 Shane McGough Arizona State TF5;25-9
1/22 Ben Cash Iowa State TF5;17-1
Welcome to the 100 Club, Mr. Parks
With his 5-0 championship performance at the Reno Tournament of Champions, OSU senior Jamal Parks became the 34th wrestler in school history to reach 100 career wins. The 149-pounder now holds a 107-22 record and ranks 28th all-time at OSU in career wins. A win against NCSU would tie him with No. 27 Brandon Mason.
Unblemished
Of Oklahoma State’s athletes who have started a dual, three are still unbeaten. No. 2 Jamal Parks is 18-0 and No. 4 Chris Perry is 14-0. Alan Gelogaev, although he lost to Chad Hanke at the Reno Tournament of Champions, still boasts an 18-0 record because Hanke is taking an Olympic redshirt year and the bout does not count toward his record.
Trading Places
Sophomore Chris Perry and senior Chris McNeil have made a switch. Perry, who started the season at 184 pounds with an 11-0 record, has moved down to 174 pounds, while McNeil, who started the year off with a 9-3 mark at 174 pounds, has moved up to 184. The move has proved beneficial so far, with Perry defeating fifth-ranked Ethen Lofthouse at Iowa in a key overtime win and earning a major decision in the Arizona State dual. Perry now holds a 14-0 overall record while McNeil’s sits at 11-5.
Returning All-Americans
OSU has three of the nation’s best wrestlers in 133-pounder Jordan Oliver, 149-pounder Jamal Parks and heavyweight Alan Gelogaev. Oliver is coming off of a perfect 29-0 season, winning the 2011 NCAA individual championship at 133 pounds. His record included 24 bonus-point wins and his 82.8 bonus-point win percentage was the fifth-highest single-season mark in Oklahoma State history. Parks earned All-America status for the first time last year with a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. He finished with a 30-5 overall record that included six wins over ranked opponents and three wins over eventual All-Americans. Gelogaev returns to the Cowboys lineup after taking a medical redshirt last year with a chest injury that forced him to miss the entire 2010-11 dual season. Before that injury, he earned All-America honors wrestling at 197 pounds in 2010, his first year to ever wrestle at the collegiate level. He placed seventh at that year’s NCAA Championships.
NWCA All-Stars
The NWCA All-Star Classic wrapped up the 46th edition of the annual event on Nov. 21 in Tempe, Ariz. Cowboy wrestlers Jordan Oliver and Jamal Parks both put together impressive showings as each came home from the event with a win. Oliver took down one of the top wrestlers in the country, defeating third-ranked B.J. Futrell of Illinois, 8-7. Parks stormed past Arizona State’s Joel Smith with a 17-4 major decision.

Smith Family Ties
Coach John Smith coaches three of his nephews this year. Chris Perry is the son of Smith’s sister, Cathy, and Zach White and Matt White are the sons of Smith’s sister, Mary Ann. Blake Rosholt is the youngest of the Rosholt family. His older brother Jake was a three-time NCAA champion at OSU and another older brother, Jared, was a three-time All-American for the Cowboys. Older sister Jesyca was an all-Big 12 soccer player for Oklahoma State as well. Dallas Bailey’s father, Leo, was a two-time All-American wrestler for the Cowboys in 1983 and 1986.
