The Cyclones kicked off the post season with a bang a week and a half ago with a 2nd place finish at the Big 12 championships. That included an individual championship performance from Chase Straw at 157, the Cyclones first Big 12 champ since 2016. With that strong performance they were able to qualify 9 of 10 weight classes to this weekend’s NCAA tournament in Pittsburgh.
This is going to be a very interesting NCAAs for the Cyclones. Of the nine wrestlers qualified five have legitimate hopes of reaching the podium and earning All American honors.
