CLARION, Pa. – Purdue Wrestling traveled to the Clarion Open to kick-off its 2023-24 season and will come home with seven placewinners after battling a loaded field in the Waldo S. Tippin Gymnasium.
 
Junior Matt Ramos and sophomore Stoney Buell led the way for the Boilermakers with third place finishes. James Rowley took fourth in his first action in the old gold and black. All three made the championship semifinals, but were unable to punch their tickets to the final.
 
Ramos went 5-1 on the day, winning four of his matches with bonus points highlighted by a pin of Columbia's No. 22 Nicholas Babin in 17 seconds in the 3rd place match. The 17 second mark is the fastest by a Boilermaker since Travis Ford-Melton got a fall in just 12 ticks in 2019. His semi-final loss came against U17 55 kg world title winner Marcus Blaze in a match that won't count against his NCAA record.
 
Buell put together a strong day to start his second season in the lineup at 165. A 4-1 record, that included a 13-0 major decision over Clarion's Trevor Elfvin helped him to his best varsity tournament finish in third. Rowley picked up two impressive wins on his way to fourth, opening with a 13-10 decision over highly touted recruit Ryder Rogotzke of Ohio State before upsetting No. 32 Jha'Quan Anderson of Gardner-Webb 5-3.
 
Four more Boilermakers had to scratch and claw their way to the podium as Michael Leveille, Joey Blaze, Cooper Noehre and Brody Baumann all took fifth place. A huge field meant that all four of them hit the maximum number of matches they could wrestle on their way to the podium. Leveille, Blaze and Noehre started hot and made the championship quarterfinals before having to enter the consolation ladder.
 
Eight wrestlers made their varsity debuts today. The group combined for an 19-13 record with four pins, three tech falls and a major decision. Purdue had eight wins by fall on the day. Up Next Purdue is on the road once again next weekend as they compete in two different Journeymen competitions. Saturday is the Journeymen Wranglemania event which will feature duals against Army and No. 3 N.C. State. Then on Sunday the Boilermakers will enter the Journeymen Collegiate Classic, an individual round-robin style tournament.
