ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Purdue wrestling secured four auto bids and has six wrestlers still fighting into day two at the 2023 Big Ten Wrestling Championships at the Crisler Center. Three Boilermakers are still chasing conference bronze, one more has secured a spot on the podium and two are grinding through the extra 9th place bracket in search of automatic qualification. The team as a whole has amassed 36.5 points and sits in a tie for ninth.
Matt Ramos, Parker Filius, Kendall Coleman and Hayden Copass all punched their tickets to the NCAA Championships in Tulsa, while Dustin Norris and Ben Vanadia still have the opportunity to earn their spots by wrestling through the extra 9th place brackets.
The No. 3 seeded Coleman led the way for Purdue in the first session, starting the day with two straight wins to earn an auto bid and a spot in the semifinals at 157. He faced Penn State's Levi Haines in that semifinal and came up just short in a 3-2 decision loss.
Both No. 3 Matt Ramos and No. 8 Parker Filius bounced back from second round losses by going 2-0 in the second session. Ramos looked dominant in picking up two bonus point wins on the afternoon. He racked up 10 points in the first period to roll to a 15-6 major decision over Indiana's No. 12 Jacob Moran and then put an exclamation point on his day with a pin (4:22) of No. 8 Dean Peterson of Rutgers.
Filius wrestled a tight match with Rutgers' No. 8 seeded Joe Olivieri, coming back from an early deficit with a six-point move in the second that helped him to a 9-5 win. He then booked his spot in the consolation semis by beating Minnesota's No. 5 Jakob Bergeland for the second time this season. It was a takedown clinic from the Havre, Mont., native and he eased to a 9-3 win.
No. 10 seeded Hayden Copass grabbed a huge 2-1 win over in-state rival Indiana's No. 8 Jacob Bullock to secure his first career NCAA qualification. Tied late into the third, Copass pushed the offense to force a stall call on Bullock that gave him the deciding point. He then lost via fall to Lucas Davison of Northwestern in the next round, but will wrestle for seventh place tomorrow morning.
Redshirt-freshmen Dustin Norris and Ben Vanadia lost their first matches in the second session, moving them into the extra brackets to try and wrestle their way into the final allocated auto bid for the weight class at ninth place. Both won their first round in the extra brackets and will take on the semifinals tomorrow in session three.
Tomorrow's first session begins at 1 p.m. ET with the ninth place wrestle-offs, consolation semifinals and seventh-place matches all appearing on B1G+. The Big Ten Network will continue its live coverage for the first, third and fifth place matches at 4:30 p.m. ET.
