DeKALB — Redshirt sophomore Brit Wilson had his ticket punched for Minneapolis, Minnesota and the NCAA Wrestling Championship after winning the Mid-American Conference 184-pound championship March 8 in DeKalb.
Instead of wrestling at U.S. Bank Stadium this past week, Wilson said he went to Colorado to take time off with his season being ended prematurely due to the NCAA canceling all events in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
“Me and my girlfriend actually went to Colorado and spent some time hiking in the mountains and just relaxing for that weekend. It was really just to take my mind off [the cancelation],” Wilson said.
