2005-06: The first Missouri wrestler to ever win an NCAA title, Askren dismantled Northwestern's undefeated Jake Herbert, 14-2, in the 174-pound title bout claiming the crown at the NCAA Championships March 18. Askren won five matches during the tournament, winning by technical fall in the quarterfinals over No. 8 Travis Frick of Lehigh, 19-3, and beating No. 5 Mike Patrovich of Hofstra, 21-6, in the semifinals.

Those scores are unreal. That's a lot of back points.

this guy is a complete athlete. not only is he one of the best amateur wrestlers in the world, he's also one of the better amateur disc golfers you'll find around MO.

i've seen him play in columbia and st. louis and he throws some of the sickest overhand shots you'll ever see. he's definitely good enough to play pro.

Yeah, all those UFC and Pride guys are homos...

I live in MN, and have met Jake Deitchler, an 18 yr old who is also going to the Olympic Trials this year. He would be one of the youngest if he qualifies. His goal was the 2012 Olympics, but has worked hard enough to be the #2 seed in this years trials. That is very impressive.
