Pac-12 Championships
Three Beavs Win Pac-12 Titles, Five Qualify for NCAAs
March 06, 2025 | Wrestling
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Maximo Renteria, Nash Singleton and TJ McDonnell won individual titles at the 2025 Pac-12 Championships while another pair – Ethan Stiles and Trey Munoz - clinched automatic berths to the NCAA Championships.
Stiles and Munoz qualified via NCAA allocation spots while the three others claimed the automatic bids.
Four of the five Beavers – Munoz the exception – will be making their NCAA debuts.
Oregon State finished the event in second place with 81.5 points, five shy of Little Rock.
Renteria opened the action for the day for Oregon State with a dominant major decision win over third-seeded Richie Castro-Sandoval of CSU Bakersfield with a 10-2 scoreline. In the championship bout, Renteria stretched a 3-1 lead after the opening period all the way to 10-2 entering the third before using the riding time bonus to make it 11-2 and punch his ticket to the NCAAs.
Singleton – the lone Oregon product of the 10 Beavers competing – racked up points before closing it early with bonus points at 141 as he pinned Little Rock's Brandon Van hoecke to win his first conference title. He used a pin to seal his spot in the finals after a decisive fall over CSUB's Korbin Sheppard.
Battling as the four seed, McDonnell (184) used a pair of comebacks for a win at decision over top-seeded Brock Delsignore of Little Rock for a trip to the finals. Facing a 5-1 hole late, McDonnell rattled off the necessary points to force an extra period against Cal Poly's Daschle Lamer. McDonnell struck first quickly to get the takedown – the Pac-12 crown and the NCAA berth.
Stiles (149) was the first Beaver to clinch his trip to the NCAA Championships, following his wire-to-wire major decision win over CSU Bakersfield's Brock Rogers in the semifinal round. Despite dropping the semifinal match, Munoz (197) claimed a spot to the NCAAs with his third-place finish.
Munoz sealed third with a major decision over Cal Poly's Cole Jackson with a statement win at 13-5 while Jordan Williams got the better of Stiles at major in the 149-lb. championship bout.
Six Oregon State student-athletes – Renteria (125), Singleton (141), Stiles (149), CJ Hamblin (157), Murphy Menke (165) and McDonnell (184) - won opening matches to secure spots in the championship rounds.
Menke split his day, winning the semifinal by major before falling in the championship to Little Rock's Tyler Brennan. Damion Elliott (133) split his matches, including winning his last of the day to clinch third place after defeating CSU Bakersfield's Santino Sanchez at decision at 7-1.
Brett Mower (HWT) finished in third after winning at technical fall over Little Rock's Branson Britten following dropping the opener to Cal Poly's Trevor Tinker. He narrowly missed out on the NCAA berth when he fell in sudden victory in the allocation match for the wight class.
Kekana Fouret (157) fell in both of his matches, including a hard-fought third-place match to CSU Bakersfield's Guillermo Escobedo.
In each season of the Chris Pendleton era (2020/21-pres.), Oregon State has sent at least five student-athletes to the NCAA Championships.
Update (March 20):
The Pac-12 Conference has today announced updates to its recently held 2025 Wrestling Championships following a determination that a student-athlete from Little Rock who competed at the event was ultimately ineligible.

As a result of the retroactive update, Oregon State has been confirmed as the 2025 Pac-12 Wrestling team champion.
