Gadson Named Big 12 Wrestler Of The Week
12.17.2012 | Wrestling
AMES, Iowa - Iowa State wrestler Kyven Gadson was named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week, the league office announced Monday. It is the first weekly award for Gadson, who is ranked No. 17 nationally at 197 pounds by Intermat.
"It's exciting to see him receive such an honor," Iowa State head coach Kevin Jackson said. "After a couple long, hard years, he really deserves it. He is working extremely hard, and he is very focused on continuing his success."
The redshirt sophomore was crucial in the Cyclones' 22-18 comeback victory over North Dakota State on Sunday. With the Cyclones trailing 18-12, with just two matches remaining, Gadson won a 17-4 major decision over Bison 197 pounder Kallen Kleinschmidt.
Gadson, of Waterloo, Iowa, remains perfect on the season at 6-0, including a 3-0 dual record. Gadson and the Cyclones will be back on the mat Dec. 29-30 at the 50th Anniversary of the Midland's Championships in Evanston, Ill.
