He died a day after Kyven won the 2013 Big 12 title. “It’s something that I’ve worked for a long time … put a lot of time, ener- gy, effort, tears, smiles, all that has gone into this. I spent a lot of extra prac- tices with my dad,” Gadson said Friday night. “He’s not here to see this, but all that is coming. I remember I was watch- ing a video of my first practice. I think he had sent me into a tournament just to see what type of kid I was. Then we came home and turned on the camera in the living room. I didn’t listen. I was just hard-headed. I wasn’t listening to him and he said: You weren’t laughing when you were getting your butt kicked. Then at the end of the video he said this is Kyven’s first practice, and we have a long way to go, but we’re going to get there.” Following his win Saturday, Gadson joked about the length of his media session the night before. “You want it longer than the one last night?” he said. “Well, you know there wasn’t a lot of offense going around. I didn’t really commit to any- thing until I saw that move show up. "And coach [Kevin] Jackson calls it the ‘Gadson’ and you don’t see nobody hitting it. He said, ‘You gotta hit it on the big stage for it to really stick.’ Yeah, I think it’s gonna stick.” Oklahoma State junior Alex Dieringer won the 100th match of his career with a comfortable 14-7 decision of Indiana’s Taylor Walsh in the 165- pound final. Dieringer, 34-0 this season, was a champion at 157 pounds in 2014. “[Coach John Smith] always told me the second one’s harder,” said Dieringer, who has just four career losses. “So I feel like this one feels a lot more special to me. Just coming back and going undefeated and pretty much getting 90 percent bonus matches. And moving up, too, which made it a lot harder. So I feel like I did pretty good this season. “It’s also a great feeling, knowing I got 100 wins and it’s only my junior season … and on top of that getting another national title.” North Carolina State junior Nick Gwiazdowski (35-0) joined Dieringer as a two-time champion. Gwiazdowski led early and held off a late charge to beat Michigan sophomore Adam Coon 7-6 in the 285-pound finals.

Thank you to the Independence administration, their coaches, host families, parents, friends, and of course the wrestlers from both Team USA and Team Iowa. The surrounding community came out to support the event and it truly takes a community to make this work. I can’t end without thanking Cliff Keen Athletic for supply- ing singlets, sweat tops, head- gear, fighting shorts, wrestling backpacks, etc. for both Team USA and Team Iowa.
