RE: NIU Wrestling
Olejnik just lost 7-3 to Hamati of Wisconsin, so he wrestles for 7th place tomorrow. Top eight are awarded All-America status, so he has clinched being an AA.

Twelfth All-America in NIU history (nine different wrestlers). Last was Britt Wilson in 2021.

Not sure what you are questioning. Olejnik won on the riding time point.

Prairiedawg, not sure if you wanted a recap of the match or didn't understand the finish of that match. The match finished 1-1. Both wrestlers scoring one escape each. The difference in the match is that Izzak had 1:01 in riding time. Meaning he rode the Ohio State opponent 1:01 more that he rode Izzak. If a wrestler has 1:00 or more riding time he is awarded an additional point at the end of the match. 2-1 Izzak won.

RE: NIU Wrestling
I used to cover college wrestling in my sportswriter days, but I can't recall all that detail.

Don't care. Great job by a Huskie!

Olejnik lost the 7th place match 6-2 to Caliendo from North Dakota State, but, forever, an All-America.

Thanks for the explanation, the riding time is what I needed help with.

Way to represent Izzak!
