CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Mike Mangrum started the 2012 calendar year on a high note, taking first at 141 pounds in the Southern Scuffle, which concluded on Monday. Overall, the Oregon State wrestling team finished fifth out of 22 teams.
Mangrum went a perfect 6-0 over the two-day event to push his season mark to 24-2. He pinned Virginia's Nick Nelson in 6:56 in a semifinal bout to open Monday's action – after going 4-0 Sunday – before winning the title with a 3-1 decision over North Carolina State's Darius Little.
He tied for the individual lead with three pins during the two days, and he earned the Beavers 29 points, just half off the tournament-lead.
Mangrum, riding a six-bout win streak, is now 80-24 during his three-year Oregon State career.
Mangrum highlighted the Beavers' afternoon, which saw the team accumulate 103 points. Penn State finished first, followed by Minnesota, Missouri and Cornell.
Four others finished in the top four in their respective weight classes for the Beavers. Clayton Jack was second at heavyweight, Scott Sakaguchi took third at 149 pounds, and Garrett Drucker was fourth at 133 pounds. Chad Hanke, who is an Olympic redshirt this season and was a non-scorer in Chattanooga, also took third at heavyweight.
Jack opened the day by pushing his win streak to 24 after defeating Penn State's Cameron Wade, 4-3, in the semifinals. But it was snapped at 24 after he lost a 2-0 decision to Minnesota's Anthony Nelson in the final.
Jack finished the tournament 4-1 overall and is 24-1 this season.
Sakaguchi lost his semifinal bout to Frank Molinaro of Penn State, but went on to win his next two bouts, claiming a 5-2 decision over Missouri's Kyle Bradley – whom Sakaguchi had defeated 8-5 earlier this season at Gill Coliseum – in the third-place bout. Sakaguchi went 5-1 over the two days to push his record to an impressive 23-5 this season.
Drucker won his first three bouts on Monday before dropping a 6-4 decision to Minnesota's David Thorn to end his day. Drucker tied for the second-most bouts among all wrestlers at the Scuffle, and finished 6-2, making him 17-5 in 2011-12.
Hanke, meanwhile, dropped his semifinal bout to Minnesota's Anthony Nelson, 6-2, but finished third after consecutive a pin over Ohio's Andy Hartshorn in 4:04 and a 7-3 decision over Wade, who had lost to Jack in his semifinal.
Pat Rollins also wrestled one bout on Monday, but lost, 19-2, to Penn State's Nicholas Megaludis, falling one win shy of placing in the top eight.
The Beavers return to action on Sunday when competing in a Pac-12 bout at Arizona State.
