So imagine how mad and frustrated I was when I go to create this post yesterday and the servers are down. Awesome. As soon as I get home, they’re working. Better. Best part is, I didn’t email the post to myself, so I couldn’t get it posted once I got home. It’s the best! – Nacho Libre plug. Anyways, here is the post that SHOULD have been up last night. Sorry for the delay.

Here is the transcript of the video. I’ve probably butchered a bunch of the names; sorry if yours is one of them and you’re reading it! Contact us and let us know and we’ll correct it!

Welcome back again wrestling at the 2009 big ten championships at 141 lbs Michigan sophomore Kellen Russell had a late take down to knock off top ranked Zach Tenelli 6-4 for his first individual title.
Brent Metcalf at 149 lbs continued his dominating performance. Metcalf pinned Bubba Jenkins to notch his 65th consecutive match win, breaking into Iowa’s top ten for pins in a season with 18.
At 157 lbs, defending big ten champion Mike Poeta defeated North Western’s Jason Welsh 8-2 for his second title
At 165 lbs Wisconsin true freshman Andrew Howell lived up to his top seed beating Ryan Morningstar in overtime giving the badgers their first big ten championship since 2006
174 lbs Michigan Steve Luke captured his third straight big ten title. The 12-5 decision over Quinton Right leaves Luke undefeated this season
At 184 lbs top ranked Jake Herbert became the first wildcat ever to capture 3 big ten championships with a win over Phil Petty. Herbert extended his college winning streak to 60.
At 197 lbs Tyron Todd of Michigan gathered riding time to beat Wisconsin’s Dallas Hurbst with a 5-4 decision this is Todd’s first title, helping Michigan to a third place finish while Iowa captured it’s second consecutive title.
6 wrestlers repeat as big 10 champs, including the winners from each of the first 5 weight classes. Defending NCAA champion Brent Metcalf who captured the 149 lb title was named The wrestler of the championships for the second straight season.
As for the final team standings behind their two individual winners, the Hawkeyes repeat as big ten champs, recording their 33rd title in program history. Pretty impressive. Iowa finished with 141 pts and Illinois was second with 113.5 and Michigan third with 92.5. The hawks will send 9 wrestlers to the NCAA championships beginning March 19th in St. Louis and will be looking to repeat as the title holders in this event as well.
