And it ended in dramatic fashion. In the 2016 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships’ final match after three days of grueling competition inside a legendary arena, Ohio State’s Kyle Snyder used an ankle-pick with eight seconds left to force overtime with North Carolina State’s Nick Gwiazdowski, then score another takedown 15 seconds into the first extra session to end the Wolfpack senior’s 88-match winning streak. Gwiazdowski’s bid for a third title was thwarted, but another senior, Oklahoma State’s Alex Dieringer, finished his career with 82 straight victories and a third national title. Illinois’ Isaiah Martinez won his second championship at 157 pounds. Gabe Dean, a junior for Cornell, picked up his second gold. Missouri’s multi-talented J’den Cox claimed his second in three years. Penn State’s Nico Megaludis and Cornell’s Nahshon Garrett, after long and successful careers, finished in style with their first titles. Oklahoma State’s Dean Heil and Penn State’s Zain Retherford, both sophomores, claimed championship number one, as did Snyder. And underdog Myles Martin, an Ohio State freshman from nearby Penns Grove, New Jersey, had the highlight of the night in beating Penn State’s Bo Nickal. Locked up, both men ready to strike, Nickal tried to turn an ankle-pick into two.

  • Bo Nickal Wins the Hodge! Date: April 1, 2019 at 12:34 PM To: Undisclosed-Recipients:;
    From: Pat Donghia [email protected] Subject: Bo Nickal Wins the Hodge! Date: April 1, 2019 at 12:34 PM To: undisclosed-recipients:; Bo Nickal Wins the Hodge! Three-time NCAA Champion wins wrestling’s Heisman UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; April 1, 2019 – (Portion of release, including quotes, courtesy Bryan Van Kley, WIN Magazine) Penn State Nittany Lion wrestler Bo Nickal (Allen, Texas) has won the WIN Magazine/Culture House Dan Hodge Trophy, presented annually to the top collegiate wrestler in the nation by ASICS. The Hodge Trophy has been awarded since 1995. The three-time NCAA champion finished first in the voting, just ahead of teammate Jason Nolf (Yatesboro, Pa.). A Nittany Lion has now won the last three Hodge Trophy awards. Nickal joins former Nittany Lion greats Zain Retherford and David Taylor, who each claimed two Hodge Trophy honors, and former Lion stand-out Kerry McCoy, who won the honor in 1997, as Penn State recipients. In all, Penn State now has four different individuals who have won the honor six times. The Nittany Lion won his third NCAA championship on March 23, defeating Kollin Moore of Ohio State. The 5-1 finals victory at 197 pounds was Nickal’s 30th of an undefeated senior campaign that included 18 pins, three tech falls and six major decisions. In a year that featured four outstanding finalists for the award, known as “wrestling’s Heisman Trophy,” Nickal won the honor over a senior teammate Jason Nolf, also a three-time NCAA champ who had very similar stats as Nickal. The other two Hodge finalists were Rutgers’ senior Anthony Ashnault and Cornell sophomore two-time champ Yianni Diakomihalis, who won NCAA championships at 149 and 141 pounds, respectively.

  • Wrestling DIVISION I
    Wrestling DIVISION I Highlights Iowa captures Division I wrestling title in dominating fashion: The Iowa Hawkeyes finished in style, outdistancing the field at the 2010 NCAA Wrestling Championships by 44½ points in winning a third straight national title and 23rd overall since 1975. “It’s a lot more fun and it’s a lot more fun with the gap, the point spread, strings of victories, seniors going out the way they should,” Iowa coach Tom Brands said. “There’s a lot more to be content about as far as feeling good that there was a good job done. There was a good job done over the last three days for sure.” Iowa had five in the finals, crowned a trio of champions - redshirt-freshman Matt McDonough and seniors Brent Metcalf and Jay Borschel - and totaled eight All-Americans in amassing 134½ points. Cornell, led by national champion Kyle Dake at 141, finished a solid second with 90 points. Iowa State (75), Wisconsin (70½), Oklahoma (69) and Oklahoma State (65) rounded out the top six in the three-day tournament, which drew just more than 94,000 fans. The Outstanding Wrestler Award went to Minnesota senior Jayson Ness, a four-time All-American who finished his career with a title at 133 pounds. Ness (30-0) claimed gold with a four-point move in the final 10 seconds to beat Iowa’s Dan Dennis, 6-4. The Gopher, who lost in the 2008 NCAA finals at 125, trailed 4-2 and took an injury timeout right before turning a duck-under into a bear hug that finished with Dennis on his back.

Who do you think should be named Wrestler of the Decade? pic.twitter.com/CNPvpFSVIf — NCAA Wrestling (@ncaawrestling) July 8, 2020 Penn State led all programs with three selections while Ohio State and Iowa were the only other programs to have multiple wrestlers chosen. Stieber was a four-time Big Ten champion and national champion from 2012-15 with Ohio State, finishing his collegiate career with a 119-3 record. Of those 119 wins, 29 of them came in his senior season, which is the year he was recognized for in the NCAA fan vote. In the final season of his Ohio State career, Stieber finished with a 29-0 season, capping it off with a 11-5 decision win over Mitchell Port, the No. 2 wrestler at 141 pounds in the country. Snyder won three Big Ten and national championships in his tenure with the Buckeyes, amassing a 75-5 record and losing just once in his final three seasons. In 2016, the year he was recognized for by fans, he went just 11-0, winning his first national championship with a 7-5 victory over Nick Gwiazdowski at the heavyweight level.
