    Fio named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week

    IRVING, Texas -- Oklahoma's Joey Fio picked up his second-career Big 12 Wrestler of the Week honor for matches through January 19, the conference office announced. Competing in the 125-pound division, Fio is the first in his weight class to win the leagues' weekly award this season.

    The No. 11-ranked sophomore went 2-0 last week in duals against Maryland and Arizona State. He began his sweep by taking a 2-1 decision over the Terps' Brendan Byrne. Against the Sun Devils, Fio recorded a pin over No. 8 Anthony Robles to improve to 13-3 on the season. He posted the fall over Robles in the first period (2:08), marking his second top-10 victory this season.

    Fio's victories led Oklahoma to wins over both Maryland (22-15) and ASU (36-7), and helped guide the Sooners to a 14-0 record, 1-0 in the Big 12, and the best start in program history.
