#1fan 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Elliott Martin had his best showing yet this weekend at the Missouri Valley Open. He pinned senior and 2x all american Billy Exline of Missouri Valley who is ranked second in the nation, and won a major decision over Jose Hernandez of Menlo who is ranked 3rd in the nation. He placed 3rd in the tournament winning a 9-3 decision over an Oklahoma University redshirt freshman (not sure of his name). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danmoody 1 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Martin is not ranked right now, but if he's not redshirting I would imagine wins over #7 Exline and #4 Hernandez would put him in the rankings. New NAIA rankings come out tomorrow, so we'll see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a link to brackets: http://www.moval.edu/athletics/wrestlingm/files/2009_mvc_open.pdf The guy Elliott beat in the consolation semis was Sam Fragoza, not Hernandez. He isn't ranked in NAIA because he just transferred to cal state baptist from fresno state where he placed third at university open nationals and was a freestyle all-american. He was also an nhsca senior national champion in high school, Elliott beat him 13-6... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the other guy is not ranked yet only because he just transferred from D1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
