Wrestling: Daton Fix wins Pan American Championship in Lima, Peru

2017 Charles Page graduate and current Oklahoma State University redshirt sophomore Daton Fix added yet another title to his long list of international accolades Friday night in Peru.

Fix was one of four United States wrestlers to win their brackets in the Senior Men’s Freestyle competition in Lima. Four-time World Champion Jordan Burroughs, two-time World Champion Kyle Snyder, and defending Pan-American Champion Nick Gwiazdowski also brought home gold.

Fix outscored his three opponents 24-1 in the Freestyle competition, including two technical falls. In the quarterfinals he teched Daniel Nascimento of Brazil, then beat out 2017 Under-23 World Champion Reineri Ortega of Cuba, 4-1. In the championship match he teched 2011 Pan American Champion Juan Ramirez of the Dominican Republic 11-0.

The United States won both Men and Women’s Freestyle, and placed third in Greco Roman. Fix will also represent the Senior Men’s team at the World Championships in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan next month.
