TULSA – Daton Fix struggled to catch his breath.
The thrill of the moment mixed with the grueling efforts and exhaustion from Big 12 championship match against No. 2-seed Evan Frost of Iowa State. The reality of the moment took a couple of minutes to seep in.
He’d made history.
Until Sunday night at the Big 12 Championships at the BOK Center, there had never been a five-time Big 12 individual champion. After an 8-5 decision over Frost in the championship round of the 133-pound weight class, Fix became the first.
“I’m just grateful to be here at Oklahoma State,” Fix said.
