HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. – Redshirt Junior Ronnie Bresser remains perfect at the 55th edition of the Ken Kraft Midlands Championships after a 3-0 start on day one at Sears Centre Arena, hosted by Northwestern University.
The 125-pounder advanced to the semifinals where he will match No. 10-seeded Spencer Lee, who is wrestling unattached for Iowa. The Klamath Falls native opened the day with consecutive falls, and advanced to the semifinals with a 12-7 decision over Purdue's Luke Welch, 12-7.
Redshirt senior Amarveer Dhesi also advanced to the quarterfinals before dropping a 9-2 decision to Conan Jennings of Northwestern. Dhesi won his first two matches by scores of 21-6 and 20-8.
Three other Oregon State wrestlers advanced to the second day of competition. Redshirt senior Jack Hathaway dropped a close first bout of the day, but rattled off four-straight victories to stay alive.

Freshman 157-pounder Hunter Willits wrestles Andrew Crone of Wisconsin in his first bout tomorrow after a 3-1 day from the Pueblo, Colo. native. Dhesi is slated to battle Rutger's Matt Correntti to start day two.
