Austin O'Connor - UNC - National Champion

[Heels Noir]

It's too bad THI doesn't have a forum for college wrestling, but second-seeded Austin O'Connor just defeated #1 Sammy Sasso from Ohio State in the 149# weight class on ESPN in the national title match, 3-2. It's Carolina's first individual national champion since three-time champion T.J. Jaworsky won it all in 1993, '94, and '95.

Go Heels!

UNC's O'Connor wins his first title at 149

Bummed I missed it, but congrats to O'Connor - he's been a great piece for the team.
