By Charles Balcom Special to ColumbiaMagazine.com TOPEKA, KS - Two Blue Raiders are still in the hunt for a national title after the second session of the 2014 NAIA Wrestling National Championships on Friday night at the Kansas Expocentre. Top-ranked at 157 (rankings in this story are NAIA) Joe Cozart and top-ranked at 184 Jameel Bryant can still claim a national championship after advancing to the final four. Cozart opened his day with a win over No. 12 Nico Martinez of Missouri Valley after Martinez took an injury forfeit at the 3:47 mark in the match. Cozart then went on to pin No. 15 Jordan Langley of Morningside (Iowa) to advance to the final four. He faces No. 2 Quinten Hayes of Grand View (Iowa) in his next match. Bryant began his tournament with a close 6-5 decision over No. 13 Parker Owen of Baker (KS). He followed that win with an 8-4 victory over No. 12 Rulin Pederson of Morningside to advance to the semifinals. He now faces Christian Mays of Grand View who ranks fourth at 184 pounds. Three other Blue Raiders are still alive in the tournament. No. 3 Wismit Moinius won his first match at the 141 weight class with a 5-3 decision over Garret Lambrecht of Morningside. He then suffered a 3-0 loss to No. 16 Brandon Westerman of Campbellsville (KY) to fall into the consolation bracket. Moinius defeated Alec Chanthapathe of Hastings (NE) with a 7-4 decision and now faces No. 4 Cameron Neiss of Montana State Northern.
