I have tremendous respect for what Austin Coburn is doing towards the end of the season. Coburn started the season as our 197 pounder and struggled at 197. At the end of January coaches made changes appointing Coburn the 285 heavy weight. Coburn has gone 5-1 at heavy weight. His 1 lost came to Gage Hutchison (EMU) 4-3.

For people that don't understand the sport. Try sprinting for 7 minutes with 70 to 100 pound backpack on. Tremendous respect for Coburn going out there wrestling guys 6 inches taller and upward of 90 pounds heaver than him.

I really don't know much about wrestling, but what you described sounds damn near superhuman.
