BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Anthony Ashnault wasn't wasting any time proving he's still the best.
After a scoreless first period in his semifinal bout at the Big Ten Championships, Ashnault scored a quick six points in the first period of the 141-pound final and remained the aggressor throughout a convincing 15-2 decision over Michigan State's Javier Gasca III.
Ashnault scored a takedown 37 seconds into the first period and added four near-fall points soon after. He added another eight points in the third period to repeat as a Big Ten champion -- and waved to the crowd as he had his hand raised.
