2009-10 - Brian Owen redshirt the 2009-10 season for Boise State.

2008-09 - Owen spent most of the 2008-09 season wrestling for the Broncos at 125-pounds. He qualified for the NCAA tournament with an at-large bid after placing fourth at the Pac-10 tournament. Owen's first NCAA tournament appearance was short lived, as he fell in his first two matches to conclude his freshman season. Owen's first loss came against No. 3 seed Angel Escobedo of Indiana, 5-0. His second loss came in a 9-6 decision against Nicholas Bedelyon of Kent State. At the Pac-10 tournament Owen went 2-2, losing both his matches to Marcos Orozco of UC Davis. After falling to Orozco, 4-1, in the opening round, Owen won two consecutive matches to earn a rematch with Orozco in the third-place match. Despite another hard fought effort, he eventually fell again to Orozco, 7-3. Owen's two Pac-10 tournament wins came against Matt Sencenbaugh of Stanford, 5-3, and Jake Gonzales of Oregon State, 2-1. He finished the season with a 12-9 overall record, 6-5 in duals. He recorded two major decisions and one fall throughout the year. Owen spent six weeks ranked nationally in the top-20 by USA Today/InterMat/NWCA. He reached as high as No. 14 on Nov. 26. Owen recorded one tournament win throughout the season, winning the Body Bar tournament.

Freestyle - Owen placed third last summer at the FILA Junior World Team Trails and represented the United States at the Junior Pan-American games in Ecuador.  Competing in the 132-pound (60kg) weight class, Owen placed third.

High School - Owen put the finishing touches on a stellar high school career with an undefeated season and a Washington state championship in 2008.  He was the No. 2 ranked high school wrestler in the country at 119 pounds last winter.  Owen finished his career at University High with a 124-4 record and two state titles.  He also earned All State honors in academics twice (2007 and 2008).  During the summer of 2007 Owen had great success at the junior national tournament. He finished second in the freestyle division and third in Greco-Roman.  He is the brother of former Bronco volunteer assistant coach Tom Owen.  His high school coach was Don Owen.
