Wyoming wrestling earns first Big 12 victory

Senior heavyweight Tanner Harms' pin 57 seconds into the first period of the Friday night's final match lifted Wyoming past Air Force 22-16 for the program's first win in the Big 12 Conference.

“It was pretty tough, but that is what I expected and bonus points were important tonight,” coach Mark Branch said. “We had a chance to draw or started at 125-pounds and I knew that I wanted Tanner (Harms) out there and he wrestled well.”

After junior Brandon Tribble fell by decision to Air Force’s Park Hines at 197 pounds to tie the dual at 16-16, Harms made quick work of Marcus Malecek winning via pin 57 seconds into the match.
