SFU men’s wrestling team has had quite the season so far, and continued their success at the Boxer Open last week.

Brock Lamb led the way for the Clan at the event, hosted by Pacific Oregon University, as he finished atop the podium at 165-pounds. After a first-round bye, he won two straight matches to take home the title, including a win-by-fall in the final round.

The Florida native has been on a tear of late, having won his bout against Embry Riddle University two weeks ago and going undefeated at the Grand Canyon University Duals in early January.

Freshman Josh Kim was SFU’s next best finisher, finishing in second place in the the 184-pound weight class. He got off to a good start, winning his first two matches, before falling to Southwest Oregon’s Kolbjorn Skaflestad in the final.

Three Clansmen finished in third in their respective categories: Sukkhan Chahal at 125-pounds, Reid Watkins at 174-pounds, and Ryan Yewchin at 197-pounds.

Yewchin struggled early, dropping his first match, but would win two straight to clinch third. Watkins, meanwhile, won his first bout but fell in the quarterfinals, but like Yewchin, would make up for it with two straight wins in the consolation rounds.

Watkins advanced through one round before falling in the quarterfinals, but would bounce back with two victories on the consolation side.

Junior Dillon Hume, as well as sophomores Josh Punzo and Sean Molle also wrestled for the Clan, but failed to crack the top three in their weight groups.

Still, the Clan’s showing at the Boxer Open is just another in a long line of successful outings this season from Lamb and company. The Clan are heating up, just in time for Regionals — less than a month away, with the NCAA Championships just two weeks after.
