Wrestling: Three Badgers take home All-American honors to end season on high note

An already successful season for the University of Wisconsin Badgers wrestling team ended on a high note, with three wrestlers finishing on the podium as All-Americans in Detroit.

The Badgers, led by head coach Chris Bono, finished 12-2 this season and sent nine wrestlers to compete in the NCAA tournament. While there was a ton of success at the team and individual level during the regular season, this was a prime opportunity for UW wrestling to shine on a premiere stage.

Eric Barnett, Austin Gomez and Dean Hamiti each survived and advanced through the always grueling national tournament to earn All-American honors.
