IU's Angel Escobedo is NCAA's Wrestlings National Champion

[CCP]

ArrayRedshirt sophomore Angel Escobedo is the 2008 125-pound National Champion after a 10-3 victory over Minnesota's Jayson Ness in the NCAA finals. He was not the only Hoosier to be named an All-American, however, as senior Brandon Becker claimed his third career All-American recognition by finishing fourth place in the 157-lb. weight class.

Escobedo finishes the year with an overall record of 34-1 and has now compiled 73 total wins in his first two seasons as a Hoosier. Indiana has won the 125-lb. national title three of the last four seasons with Joe Dubuque taking home the prize in 2005 and 2006. Escobedo's championship run is the 11th national title in Indiana wrestling history.

Becker caps off an outstanding career that has placed him throughout the IU record books by finishing in fourth place, his best career finish at the NCAAs. The Mickleton, N.J. native climbed the All-American stand in 2005 (fifth) and 2006 (seventh) as well.[/quote]

I had to find something to brag about for IU athletics;)

Also should be noted that he dislocated his shoulder yesterday and won the final today.

Congrats to Angel :rockon!:

edit: whoops... this was meant to be placed in the main part of the NCAA forum.
