A total of 21 Wyoming student-athletes competed Sunday. Six of the 21 were starters gaining either extra reps, working out a couple kinks in their approach or simply needing matches to help when it comes to seeding the Big 12 Championship brackets.

Whatever the case may be, the starters that participated in the Shootout did so impressively. The collection of a half dozen went a combined 14-0 with two pins, two technical falls and six major decisions.

No. 30 Cole Brooks (141) headlined that group with a pair of wins – one major decision and one technical fall – that moved him to 13-5 on the year. Sloan Swan (157) also logged a couple wins – one major decision and one pin – to vault his record to 13-6.

Ethan Ducca (184) boasted a 2-0 day, a major decision and a technical fall, moving his record to 7-3. Kevin Zimmer (HWT) registered a pair of wins to improve his record to 10-8.

Cooper Voorhees (165) continued his late-season push with a 3-0 day that included a pin and a major decision. That makes him 13-14 on the year, while Quayin Short also went 3-for-3 in wins Sunday, one of which was a major decision, to move to 11-13 this season.

The remaining 15 Cowboys that competed went a collective 17-26. Paolo Salminen (157) was the lone one to have an unbeaten day at 2-0.

Wyoming now turns its attention to championship season. The Big 12 Championship takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from March 9-10 inside the BOK Center, while the NCAA Championships are in Kansas City, Missouri, from March 21-23 inside the T-Mobile Center.
