LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The Army wrestling team wrapped up competition at the 30th annual Cliff Keen Invitational on Saturday inside the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Black Knights accrued 16 points to place 28th out of 34 teams.
Ohio State won the team title with 129 points. Michigan (116 points) placed runner-up followed by Wyoming (114.5), Nebraska (106) and Oregon State (100). Defending champion Cornell was the highest EIWA team as the Big Red placed sixth with 89.5 points.
Only two Black Knights remained in contention following yesterday's action, and both freshman Scott Filbert and junior Jordan Thome quickly exited the proceedings by losing their first bouts of the day.
Filbert, who posted a 2-1 mark on Friday to reach the consolation quarterfinals of the 125-pound bracket, was eliminated by Cal State Bakersfield's Tyler Iwamura (16-0).
Thome, who recorded three pins yesterday, dropped a 4-1 decision to Navy's Aaron Kalil. He finished the tournament with a 3-2 mark.
Army returns to action on Thursday, Dec. 8, when the Black Knights host Hofstra in a non-league dual match at Christl Arena. The contest is scheduled to get under way at 7 p.m.
