Wrestling: Hamiti takes second at Big Ten Championship, Wisconsin nabs podium finish for five

The Wisconsin Badgers finished the Big Ten Championships pretty much according to expectations, highlighted by Dean Hamiti’s spectacular finals match and NCAA auto-bids for Eric Barnett, Joseph Zargo, Max Maylor, and Shane Liegel.

The Badgers have finished as high as 2nd in the Big Ten tournament (1914, repeated multiple times) and as low as last (1945, repeated multiple times). This year, the boys put up an eighth-place finish with 46.5 points, behind Minnesota (71.0) and ahead of Purdue (41.5).

For context, Penn State finished well ahead of everyone at 170.
