Ohio State senior Logan Stieber was named the Big Ten Jesse Owens Male Athlete of the Year, the conference announced today.
Stieber, a native of Monroeville, Ohio, in March became only the fourth wrestler in NCAA history to win four national titles. He went 29-0 as a senior. Stieber recorded an 11-5 decision over Mitchell Port of Edinboro in the 141-pound NCAA championship match on March 21 in St. Louis. He had previously captured 133-pound titles in 2012 and '13 and at 141 last season.
He finished his career with a 119-3 mark, winning his final 50 matches, and capped his college career by winning the Hodge Trophy, college wrestling's top award.
