On Saturday Daton Fix knocked off former Iowa wrestler and World Silver Medalist Thomas Gilman to claim the 57 KG spot on the Senior Men’s Freestyle Wrestling Team. Defeating Gilman was Fix’s second big win over an Iowa opponent this year after taking out Austin DeSanto in Gallagher-Iba Arena in front of 13,811.
Both wins were huge for Fix and Oklahoma State while simultaneously a bit demoralizing for Iowa fans.
Prior to the Iowa dual, DeSanto had knocked off NCAA finalists Nick Suriano and Ethan Lizak, and looked poised to potentially make his way into NCAA title contender status.
