PHILADELPHIA — Oklahoma State wrestler Wyatt Hendrickson upset Olympic champion Gable Steveson for a 5-4 win in the NCAA heavyweight finals Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center.
The former Air Force wrestler then greeted family, as well as President Trump and Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
“He’s a great leader,” OSU coach David Taylor recently said. "He’s got a great personality. From the very first day he stepped in the room, he’s been a guy people gravitated toward.
“He’s been a guy that’s dominated, and maybe was missing a little something at the national tournament and hoping we could help him in that area.”
Steveson, a graduate student at Minnesota, won Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2021 and was a two-time NCAA champion.
