U-Hi’s Owen wins at Dapper Dan

University state champion Brian Owen won his 125-pound match during last weekend’s 34th Dapper Dan Wrestling Classic in Pittsburgh.

Owen, who has a 125-5 career record, defeated Derek Reber (165-10) 7-3 as the USA All-Stars beat the Pennsylvania All-Stars 28-12 in the dual match.

“Other than the Japanese match (earlier this year), this was the best wrestler Brian has faced,” said his dad, John.

Owen got a late first-round takedown to take the initial lead and broke a 2-all tie with a reversal and near fall in the third round, John Owen said.

Next for Brian is the Dream Duals April 12 in Iowa City, where the No. 2 nationally ranked athlete will face top-ranked Nate Moore in his West High gym.
