Kollin Moore and Nick Boykin have all set their sights on a coveted spot for this summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. The first five wrestlers will be competing in the freestyle event in various weight classes. Boykin is competing in the 97kg of the Greco-Roman division. The winner of each class, with the except of the 65kg class, will earn a spot on Team USA for the Tokyo Games.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – It was a tale of two halves for rivals Ohio State and Michigan as both teams scored two second half goals and the game would end in a 2-all tie. Both teams are now 3-1-1 on the season.
In a sport traditionally played in the fall, the weather on Monday afternoon was very fall-like. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 30s at the start of the match with a cool breeze whipping around Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. A rain and sleet mix started midway through the second half and made the final 40 minutes a little bit miserable.
