ST. LOUIS – In one of the best single-session rounds in Iowa State history, seven Cyclone wrestlers earned All-America honors and ISU’s Jake Varner advanced to the 184-pound title match for the second time with a 4-2 win over Central Michigan’s Christian Sinnott Friday night at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in the Scottrade Center. The Cyclones rebounded from Friday’s morning session by moving into third place with 68 points. Iowa leads the team race with 102 points, followed by Ohio State with 71. Penn State (63) and Central Michigan (61.5) round out the top-five.
