Former NC State wrestling great Nick Gwiazdowski is once again competing for a spot on the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. The two-time NCAA champ will face former Minnesota Golden Gopher Gable Steveson (good rasslin’ name there) in the finals for the 125kg weight class.
: @NGWIZZZ earned a 6-0 shutout in the semifinals over Dom Bradley, scoring off an exposure in the 1st, & a late takedown to seal the win.
