Both the NCAA women’s swimming and diving and the NCAA wrestling championships were held last week with the Minnesota Gophers earning All-American honors as both competitions. A pair of Gopher wrestlers in redshirt freshman Aaron Nagao and 5th year senior Michael Blockhus earned All-American honors on the mat, while in the pool a trio of Gophers including junior Megan Van Berkom, 5th year senior Joy Zhu and freshman Vivi Del Angel all are bringing home hardware.
Minnesota started out well at the wrestling championships but could not keep up the same level of success into the later rounds.
