BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Elijah Blake claimed top honors at 157 pounds and four other Cal Poly wrestlers were placewinners at the Roadrunner Open on Sunday inside the Icardo Center.
Blake, a redshirt freshman from Del Oro High School, posted a 5-0 mark, reaching the final round with one fall, a major and two decisions before winning by medical forfeit over Andrew Clark of Rutgers.
