Jack Dechow stands outside the wrestling room in the Jim Jarret Athletic Building. He has a big bruise under his eye, but he cracks a smile. Dechow recalls the first time he wrestled ODU alum Billy Curling at Granby Camp.

Since then, Dechow has hit the mat running. He stands alone in 184 weight division for the Old Dominion wrestling team this season. The redshirt junior has compiled a 69-10 record and is 10-1 this season.
