Since I don't think many people on here follow collegiate wrestling.

I saw on one of the wrestling boards that,yesterday ,O.U's 174 pounder suffered an injury that resulted in the rest of the match being canceled.

That's all that's been posted.
No details.

Anyone know what happened ?

Thanks

I was a bit surprised that,unless I missed it,there's nothing about this in The Post or on ohiobobcats.com.

I heard from Tommy Sunday night as he was in the Convo working on the things GAs work on... said it pretty well shook him to see. Sounded like they had the AED and Squad did quick work.

One of the touring performing arts groups I work with started carrying our AED to every rehearsal and show every day 12 years ago IIRC. It travels on the tour busses and we have an EMT instruct about 55 critical personnel (teachers, administration, healthcare providers and select performers) each year to use it. As they become more commonplace and accessible I encourage everyone who is in a position to to get training and competent. Some of the other performing groups, especially the Cali groups fearing litigation, think we are crazy for having it and training our personnel but they would also be some of the first to come find us if they had a crisis. Stay involved, You may save a life. Glad they had a plan in place.

My heart goes out to this young man and those who took quick action.

I always take an opportunity to plug AED training and CPR training. I am a survivor of Cardiac Arrest due to my son in law’s knowledge of CPR. Cardiac arrest on vacation and not near an AED. JK (my favorite son in law) did CPR until the squad and the defibrillator arrived. I am on of the approximately 4% who survive in that circumstance.

If you are going to have to do CPR the odds are it will be on someone you know. JK knows that when I vacation, he vacactions😀

 

I am truly blessed for the support from my friends, family, university, and the wrestling community. Words can’t describe how much all of the visits and kind words have meant to my family and I. We’ll be back and better than ever. pic.twitter.com/Xv6VMKMB7m

Then was an article in yesterday's The Record (Sorry it won't link) about how common athletes experiencing,and in some cases dying,from sudden cardiac arrest is.

It points out how important seconds are when this occurs.

It also shows the need for AED's at all levels of all athletic activities including practice.

No question,having a trained staff and an AED saved that wrestler's life.

ESPNU is broadcasting the NCAA wrestling consolations.

Billy Baldwin just did an interview with Austin Reese.

Comes off as a really nice kid,even if did say he's rooting for OSU to win the team title.

He talked about what happened from his perspective.

He said all he remembers was everything going white.
Then waking up in the ambulance.

Obviously his wrestling days are over,but he does want to stay involved in the sport by coaching.

The Baldwin interview is up on youtube.

I couldn't get the link to work.

Just search :austin reese and filter by date.
