Marcus Coleman takes down 2x NCAA champion Aaron Brooks (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com)The Big 12 had a strong showing at the Collegiate Duals this week in New Orleans. The combined efforts of the conference's two Iowa schools anchored the Big 12 against some of the country's best wrestling programs. Iowa State grabbed wins over Oregon State and Cornell, along with a competitive showing vs. Penn State, which included Marcus Coleman's win over NCAA Champion Aaron Brooks. Northern Iowa defeated Lock Haven and Ohio State then fell to NC State in their final match. We'll get to see these two teams scrap in Cedar Falls on February 10th in Cedar Falls in what should be another great dual.
Other notes from around the conference:
Wyoming finished second at Reno with two tournament champions in Jacob Wright(157) and Hayden Hastings(174). They were just six points behind first place Michigan State in one of their best showings of the season so far. Utah Valley went 0-3 at the Purdue Duals and Missouri defeated North Dakota State to move to 2-0 in conference matchups.
