Minnesota Wrestling: Gable Steveson Wins Third Big Ten Championship

Minnesota Gophers Gable Steveson continued his run through his final collegiate season this weekend as he won his third consecutive Big Ten heavyweight championship on Sunday, and he didn’t even need to do a thing. Steveson won the Big Ten title on Sunday by forfeit after Iowa’s Tony Cassioppi did not come out for the match. Steveson runs his record to 13-0 on the season and he will be the #1 seed at the NCAA Championships in two weeks in Detroit.

Steveson as the #1 seed got an immediate bye to the quarterfinals. There he easily advanced on a technical fall over Ohio State’s Tate Orndorff 20-5.
