Joey McKenna became a four-time conference champion Sunday in Minneapolis, winning his second Big Ten title at 141 pounds to go along with a pair of Pac-12 crowns he brought with him from Stanford. The senior defeated No. 20 Chad Red of Nebraska handily in the final round of the Big Ten Wrestling Championships, joining teammate Myles Martin atop the winners' podium inside Williams Arena.
Martin's path to his fist conference championship wasn't nearly as satisfying, as 2nd-seeded Shakur Rasheed of Penn State medically forfeited the match. Rasheed was largely absent from the PSU lineup over the past two months, ostensibly due to a nagging injury.
