GOLDEN, Colo. - Colorado School of Mines got the 2021-22 wrestling season underway with the Mines Rookie Open at Steinhauer Fieldhouse on Sunday.

The tournament was created as a chance to give younger collegiate wrestlers some on-mat experience after many did not get a chance to wrestle, or wrestled sparingly, during the pandemic-impacted 2020-21 season.

Among Mines' attached competitors, Anthony Atria made a run to the 285-pound final and finished as runner-up, earning an 18-3 tech fall over Chadron State's Parker Schlater before pinning unattached Samuel Urban-Hoppe in just 10 seconds to win his semifinal. He took Wyoming's Bradley Moore to sudden victory in the final but lost 8-7. 

Christian Lopez wrestled back to third at 125 pounds, bouncing back from an opening loss to go 2-1 for the day and defeating Moses Santiago 7-2 in the third-place bout. 

Dylan Yancey won his first two bouts at 141 with 6-4 and 4-2 decisions over Bryce Shelton (Air Force Prep) and Jack Finnegan (unattached), and ended up sixth overall after a 2-3 day. At 157 Tristin David went 1-2 with his win coming via a first-period fall in wrestlebacks. Wyatt Lewis was 0-2 at 165 as was David Leck at 184.
