Maryland wrestling 184-pounder Kyle Cochran won the 2022 Southern Scuffle Title in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Sunday. Cochran won five matches in a row to capture the title, including a 6-4 semifinal win over Virginia Tech’s 14th-ranked Hunter Bolen and a 4-1 victory in the championship round over Cornell’s Jon Loew, ranked No. 13 in the nation.
He had over two minutes of riding time in both matches, with almost three minutes in his match against Bolen.
Cochran, a redshirt senior, entered the competition ranked No. 32 in the country by InterMat and continued to impress. Cochran is currently on an 11-match winning streak and has defeated his last three ranked opponents without allowing an offensive point.
