Wrestling: Cody Walters places seventh at NCAA Championships, Ohio places 29th as a team

Cody Walters said last week he wanted to throw the "kitchen sink" at his opponents during the 2016 NCAA Championships.

Walters didn't actually throw kitchen appliances at his opponents this weekend at the NCAA Championships in New York City, but he ended his career a champion.

The fifth-year wrestler gained All-American status for the second time in his career this weekend, placing seventh at the 174 lbs weight class. It was Walters highest finish at the national tournament.

“When I knew I won, I had a lot of emotion that I can’t even explain,” Walters said.
