All four Big 12 wrestling squads were represented in the finals of the 2015 NCAA Wrestling Championships, with three conference wrestlers taking home individual titles. Cody Brewer (133 pounds – Oklahoma), Alex Dieringer (165 – Oklahoma State) and Kyven Gadson (197 – Iowa State) were all crowned national champions, while West Virginia’s Zeke Moisey (125) finished as the runner-up.

Dieringer finished his junior season undefeated on Saturday night, winning his second-consecutive national title. He cruised his way to the top of the podium and his 100th career win en route to becoming OSU’s 139th individual champion. The junior faced No. 6 Taylor Walsh of Indiana and showed no signs of timidity, taking down Walsh within the first 20 seconds. Dieringer let him up just 10 seconds later and closed the period with a takedown to lead, 4-1, heading into the second.

Dieringer opened the second with an escape and went on to land two more takedowns that period. He didn’t slow down and added two more takedowns before the final whistle to earn a 14-7 victory and another first-place trophy.

Kyven Gadson put the finishing touch on his legacy as an Iowa State wrestler when he pinned Ohio State’s Kyle Snyder in 4:26 in the 197-pound title bout to cap a tremendous career.

Trailing 1-0 in the second period following an escape from No. 4 Snyder, Gadson saw an opening. He had one arm over and one arm under the freshman from Ohio State and from there, all 19,715 patrons in the Scottrade Center knew what the outcome would be. Gadson threw Snyder off of a backside trip, sending the Buckeye to the mat. The Waterloo, Iowa, native would bring both of Snyder’s shoulders to the flat, securing the fall in 4:26.

With the title, Gadson becomes the 69^th national champion in school history. It also marks the third time that the redshirt senior has earned All-America honors, making him the 45th grappler in Iowa State history to be named an All-American three or more times. The 197-pounder also asserted his dominance at the NCAA Championships. In his career, Gadson tallied a 15-5 record at the tournament, with eight of his victories collecting bonus-points.

On Saturday night, Cody Brewer became the third Big 12 grappler to complete his mission on the sport's biggest stage by taking home his first individual national title.

By an 11-8 decision, Brewer claimed the 133-pound crown in the NCAA Championships inside Scottrade Center. Brewer, the No. 13 seed at the tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Cory Clark of Iowa in the championship bout.

With the win, Brewer became Oklahoma’s 67th individual national championship in program history and second in the last three years, joining then-redshirt junior and current volunteer assistant coach Kendric Maple, who won at 141 pounds in 2013.

West Virginia wrestler Zeke Moisey also became one of the stories of the entire tournament with his incredible NCAA tournament run. Moisey was the first unseeded wrestler since 2003 to wrestle for a national title. The dynamic freshman’s historic run came to end with a 9-5 loss to No. 4 seed Nathan Tomasello of Ohio State in the 125-pound championship finals.

The true freshman from Northampton, Pennsylvania, will cap his rookie season as the NCAA runner-up in addition to receiving All-America honors. He finishes with a mark of 32-14, tying the program mark for wins at 125 and ranking second in program history in wins as a freshman.He is the 30^th All-American in school history, and the first Mountaineer to reach the semi-finals since Greg Jones in 2005.

Oklahoma State finished 7th in the team standings with 65.0 team points, followed by Iowa State at No. 14 (39.0 points). Oklahoma finished at No. 18 (29.5) and West Virginia came in 20th (23.5).
