Iowa's Austin DeSanto battled back to place third at 133 pounds (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) ST. LOUIS -- Iowa has won its 24th NCAA Division I wrestling team championship. The top-ranked Hawkeyes mathematically clinched the team title during Saturday's medal round when Penn State failed to earn a fall at 197 pounds. It's the fourth team title for Iowa under head coach Tom Brands. The Hawkeyes will enter tonight's championship finals with 125 points. Three Iowa wrestlers will compete for national titles: Spencer Lee (125), Jaydin Eierman (141) and Michael Kemerer (174). Four Iowa wrestlers battled in Saturday's medal round. Austin DeSanto (133) and Tony Cassioppi (285) battled back to place third. Jacob Warner (197) finished fourth, while Kaleb Young (157) claimed seventh place. "I know no matter what my teammates and coaches still love me, win or loss, and that's a great thing to have behind you … is an awesome team," said Austin DeSanto, who defeated Virginia Tech's Korbin Myers for third place. "No matter what happens, we're still getting better every day and they still love you. "I wish I got it done this weekend, but didn't. Go back to Iowa City and regroup." Penn State remains in second place with 97.5 points and four finalists. Two Nittany Lion wrestlers, Michael Beard (197) and Greg Kerkvliet (285), earned seventh-place finishes Saturday. Beard needed sudden victory to defeat No. 8 Stephen Buchanan (Wyoming) 10-8, while Kerkvliet cruised to a 13-1 major decision over No. 21 Tate Orndorff (Ohio State). Oklahoma State is in third place, two points behind Penn State. Four Cowboys competed in the medal round. Boo Lewallen (149) and Travis Wittlake (165) finished fourth. Dakota Geer (184) placed fifth. One of the biggest stories of the tournament was Oklahoma State's unlikely All-American Wyatt Sheets (157), who qualified as an injury replacement and the No. 33 seed. He was edged in the seventh-place match by Young, 3-2. Daton Fix (133) and A.J. Ferrari (197) will compete in the NCAA finals tonight for Oklahoma State.

Northwestern's Yahya Thomas placed third as the No. 25 seed (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) "I know how good I am," said Thomas. "I just know if I'm able to get to my offense and keep other guys from getting to their offense, then I'll be able to win big matches like I did this weekend. I think that really carried me throughout this tournament." Another Northwestern wrestler, Ryan Deakin, rebounded from a tough semifinal loss to place third at 157 pounds. He edged No. 11 Jacori Teemer of Arizona State 1-0 in the third-place match. Another top seed, Michigan's Myles Amine (197), came back to place third. The Olympian for San Marino defeated Iowa's Warner for third place. Minnesota's Patrick McKee had a strong run through the consolation bracket (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Minnesota's Patrick McKee, seeded No. 15, had a strong run through the consolation bracket to place third at 125 pounds. At 141 pounds, NC State's Tariq Wilson rebounded from a semifinal loss to place third at the NCAAs for the second time in his career. Nebraska's Mikey Labriola came back to place third at 174 pounds, avenging a loss to Cal Poly's Bernie Truax (Cal Poly) 8-3. "I came in the fourth seed," said Labriola. "Really expecting myself to win this whole NCAA tournament. Things didn't go as planned. I got beat by the kid from Cal Poly, Bernie. He's a real tough kid. But I battled back and finished with third. I'm very proud of myself for that." Tonight's NCAA finals are set for 6 p.m. CT. Team Standings (Top 10) 1. Iowa 125 2. Penn State 97.5 3.

Iowa's Jaydin Eierman celebrates after getting a pin in the NCAA semifinals (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Link: Results ST. LOUIS -- The finals of the 2021 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships are set. The Iowa Hawkeyes who have led throughout the tournament still hold a lead. At the conclusion of the Friday evening session, Iowa had collected 109 team points, which is 14.5 ahead of second-place Penn State. Early in the semifinal round, news broke that Alex Marinelli medically forfeited out of the tournament. He had entered the 165-pound bracket as the top seed, but he could not continue following a quarterfinal loss against No. 8 Shane Griffith (Stanford). Despite not earning any further points at 165 pounds, the Hawkeyes appear in good position to return to the top of the podium as a team. Iowa's success this season is due in no small part to No. 1 Spencer Lee, who punched his ticket to the 125-pound final with an 11-0 major decision over No. 4 Drew Hildebrandt (Central Michigan). The Chippewa had some success in the second period riding from the top, but Lee regained control and closed out the match. The Hodge Trophy winner has won all four of his matches in this tournament with bonus points. ASU's Brandon Courtney defeated Utah Valley's Taylor LaMont (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) Lee will face off against No. 3 Brandon Courtney (Arizona State). He scored a 2-1 victory over No. 7 Taylor LaMont (Utah Valley) in rideouts. Lee and Courtney have never previously met on the collegiate mats. At 133 pounds, Lee's teammate No. 4 Austin DeSanto (Iowa) pushed hard for the upset against No. 1 Daton Fix (Oklahoma State), but it did not materialize. Fix scored an early takedown and dealt with the constant pressure from the Iowa wrestler. In their previous meeting, DeSanto struggled on the bottom. That was not the case here, but Fix still prevailed. Penn State's Roman Bravo-Young after picking up a win in the semifinals (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) In the bottom half of the 133-pound bracket, No. 2 Roman Bravo-Young (Penn State) took care of business against No. 3 Korbin Myers (Virginia Tech). The match was tied at 2-2 going into the third period. Bravo-Young surprised some by taking neutral, but he got it done adding a takedown and riding time for the 5-3 victory. Iowa added their second finalist at 141 pounds. No. 1 Jaydin Eierman's match against No. 4 Tariq Wilson (North Carolina State) appeared to be headed towards a 0-0 first-period. However, late in the frame, Eierman turned a shot from Wilson into a pinning combination and finished the match by fall. It was his second fall of the tournament, and he also picked up a technical fall in his opening-round match. Eierman will face off against No. 2 Nick Lee (Penn State) in a rematch of the Big Ten tournament final. Lee took on No. 3 Sebastian Rivera (Rutgers) for the second time this month. Once again it was a close match until Lee busted it open late and finished with a 9-3 victory. Eierman vs. Lee was a one-point match in the Big Ten final, and this one is expected to be just as close. The seeds held at 149 pounds. No. 1 Sammy Sasso (Ohio State) locked in a cradle and pinned No. 4 Boo Lewallen (Oklahoma State) to make the finals. Sasso now has two falls in the tournament, but he escaped with an 11-10 victory in the round of 16 against No. 17 Kyle Parco (Fresno State). No. 2 seed Austin O'Connor (North Carolina) needed overtime to best No. 3 Brock Mauller (Missouri). O'Connor was the aggressor throughout the contest and got to leg often, but he struggled to finish. After escaping in the first rideout, he held Mauller down for the victory. Rider's Jesse Dellavecchia celebrates with his coaches after pinning Ryan Deakin (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) At 157 pounds, No. 1 Ryan Deakin (Northwestern) became the second number-one seed to fall in the tournament. He allowed an early takedown against No. 4 Jesse Dellavecchia (Rider). Once on top, Dellavecchia went to work. He exposed Deakin with a half nelson before stacking it for the fall. There was an extensive series of challenges following the bout, but the result held. No. 3 David Carr (Iowa State) had little trouble with No. 2 Hayden Hidlay (North Carolina State). Carr scored an early takedown and rode for long periods of the match. Hidlay got back into the bout with a late reversa, but it was not enough. Carr took the decision via a 6-4 score. 165 pounds features one of the more interesting stories of the tournament. Prior to this season, Stanford announced they were dropping their wrestling program following the year. Despite this, No. 8 Shane Griffith finds himself in the finals. He upset No. 1 Alex Marinelli (Iowa) in the quarter. In the semifinals, he defeated No. 5 Zach Hartman (Bucknell) with a 9-2 decision to advance to the finals. Griffith will take on No. 3 Jake Wentzel (Pittsburgh). Wentzel allowed an early takedown against No. 7 Ethan Smith (Ohio State). However, Smith then took bottom, which allowed Wentzel to get back into the contest with his riding. In the end, it was a 4-2 decision for the Pittsburgh representative. No. 1 Michael Kemerer (Iowa) continued his run of dominance at 174 pounds. He continually got to legs and controlled from the top against No. 12 Bernie Truax (Cal Poly). It was his first victory of this tournament without bonus points, but after the 8-1 victory he has now outscored his opponents 60-13. The NCAA final will be a rematch of the Big Ten tournament final. No. 3 Carter Starocci (Penn State) used an impressive third period rideout to win a close 2-0 decision over No. 2 Demetrius Romero (Utah Valley). The Kemerer vs. Starocci match at Big Tens was a 7-2 decision for the Iowa wrestler. At 184 pounds, No. 1 Aaron Brooks (Penn State) handed No. 4 Parker Keckeisen (Northern Iowa) his first loss of the season and advanced to the finals. The final score was 6-4, but that is after Keckeisen narrowed it with a last second takedown. Brooks was dominant throughout the contest. NC State's Trent Hidlay reached the finals with a 2-1 win (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) His opponent will be No. 2 Trent Hidlay (North Carolina State). Hidlay struggled to get his offense going against No. 6 John Poznanski (Rutgers), and the match ultimately went to rideouts. After keeping Poznanski down in the first period, Hidlay escape to take the 2-1 decision. Oklahoma State's A.J. Ferrari took out No. 1 Myles Amine of Michigan in the semifinals (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) The first semifinal at 197 pounds was one of the most anticipated matches of the round. 2021 Olympian No. 1 Myles Amine (Michigan) moved up to 197 pounds this year, won the Big Ten tournament and entered the NCAA tournament undefeated on the year. In the semifinals, he faced off against true freshman super recruit No. 4 AJ Ferrari (Oklahoma State). Ferrari scored an early takedown and never let Amine get on track. The bout went into the third period with Ferrari leading 3-1. He rode out the final period and added the riding time and a penalty point to win 5-1. Pitt's Nino Bonaccorsi reached the finals as the No. 6 seed (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) In the bottom half of the 197-pound bracket, the Cinderella story of No. 26 Jake Woodley (Oklahoma) came to an end. He held tough against No. 6 Nino Bonaccorsi (Pittsburgh), but ultimately the Pittsburgh wrestler was too persistent with his offense. At heavyweight, No. 1 Gable Steveson (Minnesota) continued his dominant season with a 16-6 major decision over No. 5 Anthony Cassioppi (Iowa). Steveson allowed a takedown in his semifinal match, but other than that he has been in complete control. This victory over Cassioppi was his third bonus-point win of the tournament. No. 2 Mason Parris (Michigan) earned a rematch against Steveson with a second-period fall over No. 6 Gannon Gremmel (Iowa State). Parris had built a sizable lead before turning and pinning Gremmel with an arm bar. Steveson and Parris appeared to be developing a rivalry after their 2020 Big Ten tournament match was a close 8-6 decision. However, in their most recent match at the 2021 edition of the conference tournament, Steveson was thoroughly dominant and won via 12-4 major decision. Parris gets a chance to right that result on Saturday night. Saturday's medal round will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday. The NCAA finals -- scheduled for 6 p.m. CT -- will begin with 133 pounds and conclude with 125 pounds. Team Standings (Top 10) 1. Iowa 109 2. Penn State 94.5 3. Oklahoma State 86.5 4.

Spencer Lee won by major decision in his second-round match (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Link: Results ST. LOUIS -- Iowa lost its undefeated streak but managed to hold onto the top spot at the 2021 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis. After the first day, the Hawkeyes have accumulated 33.5 team points and hold a 5.5-point lead over second place Penn State. No. 1 Spencer Lee (125), No. 4 Austin DeSanto (133), No. 1 Jaydin Eierman (141), No. 12 Max Murin (149), No. 1 Alex Marinelli (165), No. 1 Michael Kemerer (174), No. 5 Jacob Warner (197) and No. 5 Tony Cassioppi (285) all made it to the quarterfinals. In one of Iowa's only two defeats in the tournament so far, No. 5 Kaleb Young dropped a 3-2 decision against No. 12 Brady Berge (Penn State). The Nittany Lion scored an early takedown and held on for the victory. Young tried to close the gap in the third period, but Berge's defense was too stout. If Penn State is able to cut into Iowa's lead in the team race, this match could make a sizable difference. Berge will face No. 4 Jesse Dellavecchia (Rider) in the next round. Freshman Greg Kerkvliet reached the quarterfinals at 285 pounds (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Penn State advanced seven to the quarterfinals. Joining Berge in the round will be No. 2 Roman Bravo-Young (133), No. 2 Nick Lee (141), No. 3 Carter Starocci (174), No. 1 Aaron Brooks (184), No. 15 Michael Beard (197) and No. 9 Greg Kerkvliet (285). The squad is down to eight competitors overall after No. 23 Joe Lee (165) dropped his first consolation match and was eliminated from the tournament. Missouri currently sits in third place with 23.5 points. No. 6 Matt Schmitt (133), No. 6 Allan Hart (141), No. 3 Brock Mauller (149) and No. 6 Keegan O'Toole (165) advanced to the quarterfinals for the Tigers. Oklahoma State's Boo Lewallen celebrates after beating Campbell's Josh Heil (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) In a match that will likely be talked about for years, No. 4 Boo Lewallen (Oklahoma State) avoided an upset bid from No. 20 Josh Heil (Campbell) at 149 pounds. The controversy started with a near takedown from the Cowboy. He appeared to secure the two-point move and secure the match. However, it was not awarded, and the call stood following a video review. The match then restarted with Heil holding a 6-5 lead with seven seconds left. The action started, and the two appeared to go out of bounds after around five seconds of wrestling. However, the clock did not start. The match was restarted with seven seconds still remaining on the clock. Lewallen made the most of the remaining time and scored the match-deciding two points. Following the match, NCAA Wrestling National Coordinator of Officials Tim Shiels indicated that they could not use replay to update the clock. Stanford's Real Woods gets in on a single leg against OU's Dom Demas (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) No. 21 Real Woods (Stanford), who needed extra matches just to qualify for the tournament, continued his strong run through the 141-pound bracket. After defeating rival No. 12 Grant Willits (Oregon State) earlier in the day, he faced off against Big 12 champion No. 5 Dom Demas (Oklahoma). It was a 1-1 match until Woods scored a four-point move in sudden victory to take the victory. He will meet No. 4 Tariq Wilson (North Carolina State) in the next round. At 165 pounds, reigning champion No. 4 Mekhi Lewis (Virginia Tech) advanced to the quarterfinals with a hard-fought victory over No. 12 Tanner Skidgel (Navy). He appeared to be in immense pain throughout the contest, and it seems he is still dealing with the linger effects of a shoulder injury he suffered during a dual against Pittsburgh back in February. Lewis is still in the field as of Thursday night, but it seems entirely possible that the injury will impact his performance going forward. Friday's quarterfinals are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. CT. Team Standings (Top 10) 1. Iowa 33.5 2. Penn State 28.0 3.

Jacob Warner celebrates after getting a come-from-behind victory at 197 pounds (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) ST. LOUIS -- The Iowa Hawkeyes' quest to get back on the top of the podium got off to a strong start. In the first round of the 2021 NCAA Division I wrestling tournament, Iowa won all 10 of their matches and picked up bonus points in seven of those bouts. Spencer Lee (125), Austin DeSanto (133), Jaydin Eierman (141), Kaleb Young (157), Alex Marinelli (165), Michael Kemerer (174) and Anthony Cassioppi (285) all picked up bonus-point victories, and the squad finished with 19 team points. Following in the top five were Penn State (17), Missouri (14) and Arizona State and North Carolina State tied at fourth with 13 points. The Hawkeyes experienced the most trouble at 197 pounds. No. 28 Nick Reenan (North Carolina State), a Final X veteran, caught No. 5 Jacob Warner early with a headlock. Warner fought hard to avoid the fall but still ended up down 6-0. He fought hard to get back in the match, but still trailed 7-4 late in the third period. With about 10 seconds left in the bout, Warner got in on a takedown attempt. As he finished the takedown, the referee hit Reenan for stalling. Those scores tied the match, and Warner went on to win the bout with a takedown in sudden victory. Eight of the nine Penn State wrestlers advanced with only 165 pounder No. 23 Joe Lee coming up short against No. 10 Travis Wittlake (Oklahoma State). Penn State's Robert Howard knocked off Ohio State's Malik Heinselman at 125 (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) The signature victory of the round came from true freshman No. 23 Robert Howard at 125 pounds. He had previously wrestled his first-round opponent, No. 10 Malik Heinselman (Ohio State) twice on the season and dropped a pair of 5-2 decisions. Howard was able to reverse that result on Thursday. He caught his opponent on his back and nearly scored the fall. The fall did not materialize, but he held on for the 6-4 victory. Another highlight match of the round came at 165 pounds. No. 3 Jake Wentzel (Pittsburgh) held on for a 1-0 victory against Drexel's Evan Barczak. Barczak appeared to finish at takedown as time expired. The points went up on the board, and he appeared to have pulled off the upset. However, after video review, the takedown was finished after the clock expired, and Wentzel advanced to the next round. NDSU's Owen Pentz pinned No. 2 Eric Schultz of Nebraska (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) The biggest upset of the season came at 197 pounds. No. 2 Eric Schultz (Nebraska) finished second in the Big Ten and entered the tournament with a 10-1 record. In the first round on Thursday, he faced off against Owen Pentz (North Dakota State). Schultz held a 2-0 lead in the second period. However, Pentz hit a roll from the bottom, caught Schultz on his back and collected the fall.

This week sees the return of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, bravely and steadfastly pushing forward despite this seemingly never-ending COVID-19 pandemic, as well as, another UFC Fight Night card, serving up MMA action of the highest caliber. Prominently featured in the co-main event is the very talented former NCAA Division I wrestling champion Gregor Gillespie. At this point in time Gillespie is the lone fighter on the UFC roster with a Division I national title, but you will find others scattered throughout the ranks of MMA's other promotions. Here we will list every fighter who has ever found themselves atop the collegiate wrestling world. Some are well known, others not so much. Here goes. Mark Coleman (Ohio State, 1988, 190 pounds) The original world-class wrestler to enter MMA (along with Dan Severn), The Hammer and Godfather of ground and pound, Coleman forged a path many a top-flight wrestler would later follow. Coleman, with his size, strength, and ferocity, accomplished it all in the cage, leaving an everlasting legacy behind. With his MMA exploits lasting nearly a decade and a half, Coleman experienced it all during his remarkable run in the sport. Mark Kerr (Syracuse, 1992, 190 pounds) Another pioneering MMA big man with a cool (and appropriate) nickname, Mark "The Smashing Machine" Kerr was something of a protégé of the aforementioned Coleman. Kerr had the size, strength, and physique of his mentor, but his fighting style was a tad more deliberate and sophisticated. Kerr's struggles are well-documented (his HBO documentary was fantastic), but during his prime he was perhaps the most formidable fighter in the entire world. Kevin Randleman Kevin Randleman (Ohio State, 1992-1993, 177 pounds) Another student of Mark Coleman -- "The Monster" -- with his bleached-blonde hair, Mr. Olympia physique, and his off-the-charts athleticism, left a lasting image. Many will remember his in-cage warmup, often consisting of plyometric squats that saw him launched into the air. Randleman developed more dangerous hands than his predecessors, and his wrestling was great fun to watch (look up the "Randleplex"), attributes he used to win a UFC title and become a tremendous attraction while fighting in Japan. R.I.P. Kevin. Mark Schultz (Oklahoma, 1981, 1982, 1983, 167 and 177 pounds twice Schultz is something of a myth in MMA circles. A man with all the combative skill in the world but a man we got to see very little of. Schultz took his only official fight at UFC 9 with mere hours to prepare, replacing his injured teammate at the very last minute. He won in impressive fashion, executing high-powered takedowns with incredible ease and showing great finishing instincts. He eventually took up Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and is viewed by most as a grappling god. Kenny Monday (Photo/Justin Hoch, JHoch.com) Kenny Monday (Oklahoma State, 1984, 150 pounds) The supremely talented Monday entered the world of submission and no-holds-barred fighting a year or so after his third and final Olympic Games appearance. He faced a very dangerous and already accomplished foe in his sole cage fight, looking quite stellar in the process. Monday would refocus his efforts towards the wrestling world, but remains involved in MMA as a coach and promoter. Royce Alger (Iowa, 1987 & 1988, 167 and 177 pounds) Billed as "Dan Gable's most ferocious wrestler" ahead of his MMA debut at UFC 13 (1997), Alger spent two years and five fights as an MMA fighter. Another entry on this list associated with Mark Coleman's Team Hammer House, Alger fought his heart out against extremely tough opposition in tallying a 3-2 record inside the cage. Rico Chiapparelli (Iowa, 1987, 177 pounds) Chiapparelli initially found his way into MMA as a coach and cornerman for his fellow wrestlers taking to the cage. He has immersed himself in the sport ever since, first with his Team R.A.W (Real American Wrestlers), then with his time spent perfecting the union of wrestling and submission-fighting, and furthermore as a fighter (1-0), promoter, and highly sought after coach. Mike Van Arsdale (Iowa State, 1988, 167 pounds) Van Arsdale entered the MMA orbit via "The Contenders" submission-fighting tournament that also featured Kenny Monday and other top wrestlers. From there on out Van Arsdale has been a fixture on the MMA scene as a damn good fighter (8-5 record), grappler, and coach of some of the sport's biggest names. Van Arsdale's fight with Randy Couture remains one of my favorite bouts pitting top wrestlers against each other. Alan Fried Alan Fried (Oklahoma State, 1994, 142 pounds) Ohio and Oklahoma wrestling royalty, Alan Fried never had designs on entering MMA. Yet, here he stands with a record of 0-1 and his singular fight taking place against one of the most dangerous fighters of his time. How? Why? Well, thanks to an offer from Rico Chiapparelli, Fried got to fly to Japan in 1997 to fight Rumina Sato (look him up, trust me) on 3 days' notice. A complete neophyte, Fried hung tough but ultimately got his elbow badly injured by the Japanese legend. This injury played a significant part in Fried's eventual retirement from competitive wrestling. Rex Holman (Ohio State, 1993, 190 pounds) Yet another wrestler-turned fighter associated with Mark Coleman. In 2007, a 4-1 Rex Holman got his shot in the big show thanks to a bit of a perfect storm of factors. The UFC was set to hold its first event in the state of Ohio when fellow wrestler and Ohio native Matt Hamill lost his opponent. Holman tapped some connections and voila, just like that he was Hamill's new dance partner. Carlton Haselrig Carlton Haselrig (Pittsburgh, Johnstown, 1987, 1988, & 1999, 275 pounds) Haselrig owns an absolutely legendary collegiate resume complete with seven All-America finishes and six national titles (three a piece in DI and DII). He entered MMA too late to make a real run, but he fought well nonetheless, going 3-2 over roughly a one-year stretch at 42 years old. One of two collegiate wrestlers named by the great Kurt Angle as his most formidable foes, Haselrig possessed the kind of athletic potential that could have seen him become an all-time great had he began MMA earlier. R.I.P. Carlton. Sylvester Terkay (North Carolina State, 1993, 275 pounds) A sort of predecessor to the likes of Brock Lesnar, Terkay was the first behemoth pro and amateur wrestling star to enter MMA. From 2003 to 2006 Terkay immersed himself into the world of Japanese combat sports. Competing against a who's who of top opponents in MMA, K-1 kickboxing, and Japanese Shoot-style pro-wrestling, Terkay performed admirably as he scored quite a few impressive wins in the land of the rising sun. Cary Kolat (Lock Haven, 1996 & 1997, 134 and 142 pounds) Several years removed from one of the strongest American wrestling careers in history, with the bitterness of the highly controversial 2000 Olympic Games still present, Kolat decided to try MMA. With the backing of Randy Couture and fellow Sydney Olympian Matt Lindland, Kolat was set. Undersized against a very dangerous and savvy fighter with 10 fights to his zero, Kolat found himself tapping out in the first round despite showing real promise as a fighter. It was his only foray into MMA. John Kading (Oklahoma, 1996, 190 pounds) Despite being quite an intriguing MMA prospect due to his wrestling background and a his judo acumen, Kading's one and only foray into MMA was probably ill-advised. A late replacement in the now-defunct International Fight League, Kading endured a massive weight cut en route to facing a 16-fight veteran in his MMA debut. Surprisingly, he decked his foe early and had him on rubber legs, but overzealousness and overconfidence saw him knocked out shortly thereafter. Gable Steveson with Brock Lesnar Brock Lesnar (Minnesota, 2000, 285 pounds) Well-known to most, Lesnar's exploits in wrestling and in MMA are combat sports folklore at this point. Going straight from NCAA wrestling to pro wrestling, Lesnar found himself gravitating towards fighting by the time 2007 rolled around. He made a huge splash in MMA, fighting nothing but world-class opposition throughout his nine-fight MMA run. With a UFC heavyweight title in his closet, Lesnar is likely done with MMA at this point in his life. Stephen Abas (Fresno State, 1999, 2001, & 2002, 125 pounds) Abas had the disposition, athleticism and the connections to really make a splash in mixed martial arts. He was hooked up with several fighters from MMA's core disciplines and became a part of the coaching staff at the Arena MMA gym in San Diego, California. Abas went 3-0 in his brief MMA run, looking great in the process. When a fight with wrestling rival and eventual UFC champ Henry Cejudo failed to materialize, Abas returned to the wrestling world as a coach. Eric Juergens (Iowa, 2000 & 2001, 133 pounds) Juergens may have entered MMA on a whim at the urging MMA legend and Iowa native Pat Miletich, but he sure did make quite the impression. Training out of Miletich's world-famous Bettendorf gym, Juergens may have easily won his only three fights between 2007-2008, but it's the ringing endorsements from industry insiders that spoke loudest. According to those in the know, Juergens was equipped to take on the very best in the sport after just one year of training. Josh Koscheck (Edinboro, 2001, 174 pounds) One of the more successful and polarizing figures to cross from wrestling over to MMA, Koscheck had a great run in the UFC from 2005 to 2015. As a member of the famed American Kickboxing Academy, Koscheck flourished. Initially "just" a hyper-athletic wrestler with an impossible to stop power-double, Koscheck improved with each fight, becoming equally threatening with his hands and his wrestling. He fought for the UFC title in 2010. Mark Munoz (Oklahoma State, 2001, 197 pounds) Equally successful as a fighter and as a coach/gym owner, Munoz made the most out of his eight years spent in MMA. Despite losing his UFC debut in emphatic fashion, Munoz fought well as he ascended the UFC 185-pound ranks, looking great as he compiled wins. He was at his best when he could use his strength and wrestling to pin opponents to the cage or mat and unleash hellacious punches, something he accomplished many times. In all, he went 9-6 inside the UFC. Eric Larkin (Arizona State, 2003, 149 pounds) A very high profile entry into MMA back in 2010, Larkin was part of an army of Arizona-based wrestlers who came to MMA in the 2000s. Like many of his contemporaries, Larkin impressed immediately and was flashing combative athleticism on a ridiculously high level. It took just two fights for Larkin to be snatched up by Bellator MMA, and by the time his debut came, his kickboxing and grappling was at an almost expert level. Matt Lackey (Illinois, 2003, 165 pounds) When Lackey's wrestling pursuits took him to the state of Colorado, he organically gravitated towards the world of competitive submission fighting, pankration (amateur MMA), and mixed martial arts. Despite having just one pro fight on his record, a first-round submission win in 2005, Lackey remained in the world of grappling and fighting until 2009 when he returned to wrestling as a coach for Lock Haven and then Buffalo. Jake Rosholt (Oklahoma State, 2003, 2005, & 2006, 184 and 197 pounds twice) Powerhouse Rosholt had the MMA world buzzing in 2007 when he made the rounds to MMA's top gyms to train. Along with several other big-time wrestlers, Rosholt was a part of the cutting edge Team Takedown. Word spread of Rosholt's "embarrassing" of seasoned fighters in training, and in 2009 he was signed by the UFC. Undeniably talented but inconsistent, the former Cowboy never fully hit his stride in MMA. Johny Hendricks Johny Hendricks (Oklahoma State, 2005 & 2006, 165 pounds) Mere months after wrapping up his college career, Hendricks was fully committed to MMA and had everything he needed to make a mark in the sport. Paired with some of the best coaches, training partners, and facilities in the sport, Hendricks was off and running. Adding vicious striking and a crushing left hand to his wrestling chops along the way, Hendricks captured UFC gold in 2014 before inexplicably beginning a sharp decline in his performances. Steve Mocco (Iowa, Oklahoma State, 2003 & 2005, 285 pounds) Mostly due to connections from wrestling, Mocco was closing in on MMA for some years before strapping on the 4-ounce gloves. People were pumped for Mocco's arrival. His size, wrestling, no-nonsense disposition, judo experience, and his joining American Top Team made for high expectations. Mocco went 5-1 from 2012 to 2015, proving to be a real handful for any heavyweight fighter, but really found his groove training other fighters and running a wrestling academy out of the main American Top Team facility. Cole Konrad (Minnesota, 2006 & 2007, 285 pounds) Konrad doesn't get much props for his MMA accomplishments, but he definitely should. Training with the likes of Brock Lesnar and fellow NCAA champ Marty Morgan, Konrad went undefeated over two years and nine fights, capturing and defending the Bellator heavyweight title in the process. Despite not employing the most electrifying brand of fighting, Konrad won each of his fights, most of them against very tough opposition, with ease. Mark Ellis (Missouri, 2009, 285 pounds) Ellis made a brief splash in mixed martial arts, going 1-1 in 2011 against much more experienced fighters. He was a big, strong, athletic heavyweight and his affiliation with American Kickboxing Academy seemed to bode well for his potential. Unfortunately his potential will remain just that, potential, as returned to wrestling as a coach for Grand Canyon. Ben Askren warming up before his Beat the Streets matchup against Jordan Burroughs (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Ben Askren (Missouri, 2006 & 2007, 174 pounds) Popular as he was and is in wrestling, Ben Askren has made quite a name for himself in MMA as well. Askren hooked up with famed trainer Duke Roufus in 2008, and while his striking never amounted to much, submission grappling was the perfect complement to his wrestling style. He put his expanded grappling chops to great use in the Bellator cage for three years as an undefeated, dominant champion. Ben wound up in the UFC in 2019 but time and injuries took a major toll and he retired without accomplishing what he should have. Phil Davis Phil Davis (Penn State, 2008, 197 pounds) Davis was another high-profile acquisition for the MMA world, as he had made known his intentions to fight well before his wrestling career was over. Davis was intriguing. Obviously his wrestling chops were top notch, but he wasn't the typical, hard-nosed, explosive wrestler that didn't always capitalize on takedowns. Creative and physically gifted, Davis found himself in the UFC after just four fights, and he enjoyed a very successful 9-3-1 run in the world's top show before moving to Bellator, capturing a title, and resuming his winning ways. Darrion Caldwell (North Carolina State, 2009, 149 pounds) As his wrestling career wound down, it was a combination of injuries and burnout that saw Caldwell enter MMA. After two years on the regional scene, along with many other top wrestlers, Caldwell signed with Bellator MMA in 2014. It's hard to believe that he is closing in on a decade as a fighter, but at this point we know what we can expect from the New Jersey native. Extremely talented with all the physical tools he'll ever need, it's not beyond the realm of possibility for the confident Caldwell to win a major MMA title, but will become less likely with each fight. Bubba Jenkins (Photo/Bellator) Bubba Jenkins (Arizona State, 2011, 157 pounds) A big coup for the MMA world, Bubba Jenkins was seen as a perfect fit for the sport. Always a showman, Jenkins is a well-rounded fighter, strong as an ox and with great instincts, but the knock on him has been that he's lost the big fights he's been in, which is fair. However, fighting abroad for a stretch and returning to his wrestling roots seems to have invigorated the 33-year-old Jenkins, and he's now set to fight fellow NCAA great Lance Palmer in his biggest fight yet. Ed Ruth (Photo/Bellator) Ed Ruth (Penn State, 2012, 2013, & 2014, 174 and 184 pounds twice) Ruth was a known commodity in the MMA world well before his failed 2016 Olympic bid. Not only did he sign with Bellator MMA in 2015 but he would stop by various MMA gyms from time to time to flash his otherworldly skill and athleticism, as many a star fighter touted Ruth's future greatness. Ruth debuted in 2016 and thus far has been an incredibly quick study, learning on the job while fighting at the highest level. As a result of this accelerated curriculum, Ruth has shined in most wins and suffered a few very tough but valuable losses. It remains to be seen where his combative ceiling is. Well, there you have it. The complete history of NCAA Division I wrestling champs in MMA. As MMA grows and more wrestlers choose this path, this list will grow. Look for Bo Nickal, Anthony Cassar, and others who may soon follow suit and join the MMA ranks.

Army West Point's Bobbly Heald getting ready to wrestle in the EIWA finals (Photo/Sam Janicki, SJanickiPhoto.com) WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Due to an abundance of caution regarding COVID-19 protocols, senior captain Bobbly Heald has withdrawn from competing for Army at the 2021 NCAA DI Wrestling Tournament this upcoming weekend. Despite an unexpected end to his wrestling career with the Black Knights, Heald has had an immense impact on the Army Wrestling program over his last four years. The Bedford, N.H. native has played an integral role in Army's success, competing to a 55-32 record overall and 12-8 in dual competition. In his freshman season, he frequented the mat for the Black Knights, moving to a 12-16 record, and most notably defeating Austin Faunce (Navy) 2-1 in the second tiebreak period to clinch the Star Meet victory. He escaped with 17 seconds to give Army its second-ever dual victory in Annapolis, Md., and first since the 1961 season. During his tenor, Heald helped the Black Knights to a 3-1 record against the Mids. He went on to compete to even better records in the following two years, tallying his career best record of 22-8 as a sophomore. "Obviously, we are gutted for Bobby and he's incredibly disappointed he doesn't have the opportunity to finish his Army Wrestling career on his own terms," said head coach Kevin Ward. "But he has so much to be proud of - he has made an incredible impact on our team and has accomplished so much as an individual. It is unfortunate that circumstances outside of his control close this chapter of his life, but we all know that there are great things in store for him as he looks forward to graduation and commissioning this May." Heading into the tournament, Heald was ranked 23rd at 285 pounds after posting a second-place finish at the EIWA Tournament on Feb. 26. The senior was expected to face Nathan Traxler of Stanford in the Round of 32. "To say that it's been the ride of a lifetime would be an understatement," said Heald. "My time with Army Wrestling has brought my family and I some of the greatest moments of our lives. With that has come moments of heartbreak and loss, too. I am so incredibly grateful for both, as they have molded me into who I am today. I came into this program as an 18-year-old kid without a clue of the path that lay ahead. I leave as a 23-year-old man, with a lifetime of lessons learned, relationships forged, and memories made. I will forever be in debt to the coaches who took a chance on me, the ORs and instructors who had my back, and the brothers who loved me enough to push me every step of the way. It has been the greatest honor of my life to toe the line with Army across my chest. Army Wrestling will always be a part of me. BHAW." Bobby is set to graduate this May and will commission as a 2LT in the United States Army. Post-graduation, Bobby will be branching Infantry and will be stationed in Fort Riley, KS.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Rev Wrestling Corp. has signed a definitive agreement to sell InterMat (InterMatWrestle.com), one of the nation's leading wrestling content websites, to MatScouts LLC. The sale will be officially completed on April 1. MatScouts LLC, based in Easton, Pennsylvania, is led by Willie Saylor. InterMat, under its new ownership, will remain a separate entity from the MatScouts channel on Rokfin. "We are pleased to be selling InterMat to MatScouts LLC," said Rev Wrestling Corp. vice president Andrew Hipps. "Willie Saylor has been an important voice in wrestling media for several years. It will be exciting to see where Willie takes InterMat. Willie is the ideal person to lead the company because of his passion for wrestling and expertise, as well as his vision, drive and thorough understanding of the ever-evolving wrestling media landscape." Saylor has been a prominent member of wrestling media for more than a decade. He started his career in wrestling media at The Open Mat in 2008 before joining FloWrestling in 2012, where he served as the website's senior editor. In 2019, Saylor launched MatScouts on Rokfin, where he provides a channel focusing on wrestling scouting and recruiting. Saylor has been recognized as the nation's top wrestling journalist by multiple wrestling media outlets throughout his career, receiving the honor in 2012 from the National Wrestling Media Association and in 2016 from WIN Magazine. "InterMat has been a keystone of national and international wrestling journalism for decades," Saylor said. "The opportunity to sustain its excellence and increase the brand and products is something I once could have only dreamed of. The plan is to keep MatScouts a separate entity for the hardcore recruiting audience and have InterMat serve as the hub for news and editorial wrestling content worldwide. It is with great pride and responsibility that I embark on making InterMat the voice of the sport." InterMat was launched in 1995 by Tom Owens, becoming the first independent website dedicated to covering amateur wrestling. The website was later sold to the National Wrestling Coaches Association before Rev Wrestling Corp. acquired InterMat in April of 2009. InterMat has twice been named Outlet of the Year by the National Wrestling Media Association. The website provides wrestling news, feature stories, rankings, recruiting information and more.

From 2014-2018, the NCAA only seeded the top 16 wrestlers. The rest of the field was completed by random draw. Now, the field is seeded all the way to No. 33. While unseeded wrestlers breaking through and going on an unlikely run was one of the bright spots of the tournament, that spirit can live on with the lower seeds. The following looks at some of the top dark-horse candidates to become an All-American despite being seeded 16th or lower. 125: No. 16 Codi Russell (Appalachian State) Despite a 13-1 record and a third straight qualifying season, Russell received the 16th seed at this NCAA tournament. His lone loss came against North Carolina State's No. 6 Jakob Camacho via 11-4 decision back in early January. Since then, Russell won 10 straight matches and won the SoCon conference title with victories over Benny Gomez (Presbyterian) and Zurich Storm (Campbell). If Russell is going to make it onto the podium, he will likely need to make a run in the consolation bracket. He starts the tournament with a tough match against No. 17 Killian Cardinale (West Virginia). With a victory there, the Appalachian State wrestler would likely move on to face No. 1 Spencer Lee (Iowa). Malyke Hines won the EIWA title at 133 pounds (Photo/Sam Janicki, SJanickiPhoto.com) 133: No. 17 Malyke Hines (Lehigh) Hines joined Lehigh last year as a three-time state champion and a top-100 recruit. On the high school level he finished with a 267-4 record and was a two-time NHSCA champion and a two-time Super 32 placer. The Lehigh wrestler redshirted his first year on campus and took a few uncharacteristic losses. However, he still finished with a 16-4 record and won the Mat-Town Open. This year, Hines joined the starting lineup and took a step forward. He dropped his first match of the season against No. 5 Micky Phillippi (Pittsburgh) but then won his next six matches. Along the way, he picked up the EIWA championship with bonus points in two of his three matches. Hines finds himself in the top half of the bracket with No. 1 Daton Fix (Oklahoma State). It could be an early match if he gets past Oregon State's Devan Turner. Hines is still relatively inexperienced on the college level, but his high school accolades and strong performance at the EIWA make him a dark-horse candidate in this division. 141: No. 21 Real Woods (Stanford) Woods nearly did not qualify for this tournament. He did not compete until the Pac 12 tournament, and while he made the finals, he suffered an upset via fall against No. 12 Grant Willits (Oregon State). In order to meet the qualification criteria, Woods wrestled a pair of extra matches against Jose Landin (CSU Bakersfield) where he won via first-period fall and 16-0 technical fall. That loss against Willits at the Pac 12 tournament was only the second official loss of Woods' collegiate career. Last year, as a redshirt freshman, he went 19-1 with his only defeat coming against Luke Pletcher in overtime. During the season, Woods scored victories over Sa'Derian Perry, Kaden Gfeller (Oklahoma State) and Dusty Hone (Oklahoma State). Interestingly enough, Woods will get a rematch against Willits in his first match of the NCAA tournament. Despite giving up the fall at the recent tournament, he has had the upperhand in the series. The two wrestled twice during the 2020 season with Woods taking a pair of major decisions. It will certainly be a tough road from the 21st spot, but the Stanford wrestler could get off to a hot start if he can get past his Pac-12 rival. 149: No. 28 Peyton Omania (Michigan State) On paper, Omania might look like the wildest dark horse on this list. Not only does he enter the tournament as the 28th seed, but he also actually has a losing record on the season. Even after qualifying through the Big Ten tournament, he holds a 4-6 record. Despite the record, Omania has done an impressive job of implementing his Greco Roman offense in folkstyle matches. He is a junior world bronze medalist in the Olympic styles, and recently, he has been throwing his opponents off the mat. For example, in a recent match against No. 11 Kanen Storr (Michigan), Omania won a 15-8 decision with 12 of those points coming on headlock throws from neutral. Obviously, Omania is still vulnerable and can be ridden at times. However, his throwing style makes him a dangerous opponent in the bracket. If a few things fall the right way, he could be standing on the podium on Saturday. His tournament starts against No. 5 Ridge Lovett (Nebraska). Lovett is at his best on the mat, so this is probably not a good style matchup for Omania. However, he is and will remain a wildcard. 157: No. 21 Andrew Cerniglia (Navy) Cerniglia was a two-time Pennsylvania state champion in high school, and he has quickly made a name for himself at Navy. The true freshman enters the NCAA tournament with an 8-1 record. His only defeat was a surprising upset at the hands of Jaden Fisher (Bucknell) in the EIWA tournament. He has not faced the toughest competition on the year, but he has managed to put up bonus points in six of his eight victories. At the 21st seed, he will not start the tournament with an easy opener. He will face off against No. 12 Brady Berge (Penn State). Berge has bounced back from a series of injuries and put together a nice season. Cerniglia will need to find a way to get to his offense, since Berge has shown tremendous ability to control matches. It will be a long shot, but Cernigilia could certainly shock some people in this tournament. Minnesota true freshman Andrew Sparks enters the NCAAs as the No. 24 seed at 165 pounds (Photo/Sam Janicki, SJanickiPhoto.com) 165: No. 24 Andrew Sparks (Minnesota) Sparks would likely find himself with a much higher seed if he had a better performance at the Big Ten tournament. The Minnesota freshman entered the bracket with record of 8-1, but he went 1-2 and medically forfeited his last match. If he is able to turn things around, he will be a very dangerous 24th seed. During the regular season, Sparks' only defeat came against No. 1 Alex Marinelli (Iowa). Other than that, he was perfect through the Big Ten schedule where he picked up key wins over No. 14 Peyton Robb (Nebraska) and No. 19 Gerrit Nijenhuis (Purdue). Sparks will get a chance to show if the Big Ten tournament was an outlier or not early in the NCAA bracket. He will face No. 9 Luke Weber (North Dakota State) in his first match. Weber will be a tough challenge as he is coming off a surprising upset of Travis Wittlake (Oklahoma State) and Big 12 tournament title winning performance. Army West Point's Ben Pasiuk takes a shot on Drexel's Michael O'Malley in the EIWA finals (Photo/Sam Janicki, SJanickiPhoto.com) 174: No. 17 Ben Pasiuk (Army) Pasiuk was a four-time Ohio state finalist in high school, and he has found his way into the Army lineup as a freshman. He wrestled only two matches before entering the EIWA tournament. He scored victories over Jake Logan (Lehigh) and Dean Caravela (Navy). Despite the lack of experience, Pasiuk won the EIWA tournament. His most impressive performance on the day was a 2-1 decision over No. 19 Michale O'Malley (Drexel), who spent time in the InterMat rankings during the year. Pasiuk's tournament gets off to a tough start against No. 16 Clay Lautt (North Carolina). The Tar Heel junior went 6-3 against a mostly ACC schedule this year. He went to sudden victory and ultimately defeated Logan, which is his only common opponent with Pasiuk this year. Iowa State's Sammy Colbray gets in on a shot against Arizona State's Cade Belshay (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) 184: No. 29 Sammy Colbray (Iowa State) Even though Iowa State was one of the busiest college teams this winter, Colbray did not wrestle his first match until mid-February. He went 2-1 during the abbreviated regular season with victories over Jacob Schoon (South Dakota State) and Cade Belshay (Arizona State) as well as a defeat against No. 4 Parker Keckeisen (Northern Iowa) before entering the Big 12 tournament. Colbray went 4-2 in the Big 12 bracket to earn a spot in this NCAA tournament. This will be the third time he has qualified for the tournament. He made it to the round of 12 as a sophomore in 2019, and the tournament did not happen last year. Colbray will likely have the opportunity to come back next year if he wants it, but if this is the end of the road for him, he could make some noise in this bracket. The Iowa State representative starts his day with a rematch against Keckeisen. The freshman defeated Colbray back in February. However, it was a one-point match. If a few of the exchanges go another way, this could be one of the biggest upsets of the opening rounds. 197: No. 26 Jake Woodley (Oklahoma) Over the last few seasons, Woodley has been an essential part of the Oklahoma rebuild that culminated in a share of the Big 12 tournament title. For the third straight season, he has qualified for the NCAA tournament. This season, the 197-pound division seemingly became extremely deep overnight. The field in the Big 12 especially seemed to improve with the addition of No. 4 A.J. Ferrari (Oklahoma State) and the development of No. 9 Noah Adams (West Virginia), No. 13 Tanner Sloan (South Dakota State) and No. 8 Stephen Buchanan (Wyoming). Despite this, Woodley was able to fight his way through the conference and qualify. He will enter this tournament with a 9-7 record on the year. Woodley will have a tough match right out of the gate. On Thursday morning, he will face off against No. 7 Rocky Elam (Missouri). Not only is Elam undefeated on the year at 7-0, but he is also a junior world silver medalist in freestyle. 285: No. 18 Hunter Catka (Virginia Tech) Catka likely would have earned a higher seed if he had been the starter throughout the season. He split time with John Borst who ultimately dropped out of the lineup with an injury. The opening created a spot for Catka who has made the most of it. He entered the ACC tournament with a 9-1 record. Not only did he make the finals of the tournament, but he avenged his only loss of the season up to that point. No. 20 Quinn Miller (Virginia) had defeated him earlier in the year, but he reversed that with a 4-3 decision. In the finals, Catka faced off against No. 10 Deonte Wilson (North Carolina State) and dropped a 2-1 match in rideouts. The top of the heavyweight division is very strong, so there will likely be tough competition for the final All-American slots. Catka is still a true freshman and learning on the job. If he takes another step forward, he could leapfrog some seasoned wrestlers and find his way on the podium.

Hunter Bolen received the No. 5 seed at 184 pounds after falling to Trent Hidlay in the ACC finals (Photo/Virginia Tech Athletics) Sadly, for all the NCAA Division I wrestling fans out there, you had a weekend free from competition. On the bright side, we are now just three days away from the pinnacle event of the season: 2021 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, March 18-20. With no new Division I events to derive my typical five takeaways article from, I decided to use this piece to give commentary on some issues I had with the brackets. Here are some thoughts: The NCAA Wrestling Committee did Hunter Bolen wrong with his seed As the saying goes, everybody is a critic. Whether the saying has any truth to it or not, I won't hesitate to criticize the decisions made when seeding the 184-pound weight class. Hunter Bolen is the No. 5 seed and that is entirely too low in my opinion. At worst I believe he should be the No. 3 seed behind Aaron Brooks (Penn State) at No. 1 and Trent Hidlay (NC State) at No. 2. Bolen is 6-1. His lone loss is a 3-1 sudden victory defeat to second-seeded Hidlay in the finals of the ACC Championships. Bolen also beat Hidlay in a 2-1 decision when the two teams met for a dual meet. By putting undefeated conference champions Lou DePrez (Binghamton) No. 3 and Parker Keckeisen (UNI) No. 4, it shows that the NCAA prioritizes undefeated records and conference champions over all else, including signature wins.

Campbellsville won its first NAIA national championship JAMESTOWN, N.D. -- For the first time in Campbellsville University history, an NAIA team championship banner is coming back to campus, as Lady Tiger wrestling won the second annual NAIA Invitational in a big way over the weekend. In addition to the team title, McKayla Campbell claimed the 109-pound title with a thrilling victory in the final 12 seconds. Campbellsville scored 185 points as a team to beat runner-up and rival Life University by 50.5 points. The Lady Tigers qualified a record 12 wrestlers for the championship and 10 of earned All-American honors - one champion, four runner-ups, three in third place and two placing fourth. Behind Campbell, Alexandra Castillo (170), Randi Robison (136), Angie Vitiritti (130) and Charlotte Fowler all finished runner-up. Brianna Staebler and Jacqueline Ghent both finished fourth at 191 pounds and 123 pounds, respectfully. Emma Walker (143), Katlyn Pizzo (123) and Kendra Thompson (155) all finished third earlier on Saturday. In the finals at 109 pounds, No. 1 seed Campbell got down early and at the end was facing a 14-11 deficit with only 12 seconds left. Her opponent, No. 3-seed Asia Ray, was called for stalling cutting the deficit to two, 14-12, and then with two seconds remaining on the clock Campbell earned a four-point throw to bring the entire Jamestown University gymnasium crowd to its feet. Campbell ended up winning 16-14. The individual championship is also the first in Campbellsville University women's wrestling history as the sport is just in its second year being recognized by the NAIA.
