Since 1928, there have only been 8 years when at least one team didn't have multiple NCAA champions at the D1 NCAA Championships! Wrestling is a TEAM sport and you rely so much on a good workout partner! This picture epitomizes how important it is to push your teammates!

The Big Ten Finals are going to be happening later today. I was never a Big Ten champ and it still hurts 17 years later. I was 6th, 3rd, 2nd and 2nd. I keep this 2nd place medal in my desk at work to remind myself of that feeling and it motivates to work hard every day!!

@cburgpawrestle You should never be ashamed of scoring points in wrestling and it’s a sport that you can’t run up the score in because we have the tech-fall to end the match. A pin is the goal but a tech-fall is great for your student-athletes to work on their technique in a match situation.
