CLEVELAND, Ohio – Caleb Campos stands as a top-five wrestler in the country at 184 pounds after his fourth place finish at the NCAA Championships on Saturday, tying American University wrestling's highest individual placement since 2016. Campos advanced to the third place match after a victory via medical forfeit in the consolation semifinals, falling to Missouri's Aeoden Sinclair to take fourth place. The Eagles also finished 23rd in the team score, the program's highest finish since 2012.
How it Happened
- Campos got the win in the consolation semifinals via medical forfeit, as Iowa's Angelo Ferrari could not wrestle.
- In the third place match, Sinclair got in front of Campos and never conceded his lead. He scored a takedown with just five seconds left in the first period, then added another less than a minute into the second. Campos couldn't find a response from there.
- After losing to Ferrari on day one in the round of 16, Campos advanced to the highest point of the consolation bracket with five straight wins before being defeated by Sinclair.
- Overall, Campos went 6-2 at the tournament. He finishes his redshirt junior season with a 31-8 record.
