No. 25 Missouri wrestling (5-10, 4-4 Big 12) is recovering from a challenging season marked by injuries, significant losses, and mid-season lineup changes. The Tigers have had a lot of promise through the ups and downs, with wrestlers like Joel Mylin, James Conway and Cam Steed making waves in this season's duals.

The Tigers are looking to reclaim the Big 12 title after Iowa State ended Missouri's streak of 12 consecutive championships, including back-to-back titles in the Big 12 Wrestling Championships. The Tigers will also compete for berths to the 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships, which will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia from March 20 to 22.

2024 Big 12 Wrestling Championship Recap

The Tigers took home fourth at last year's Big 12 Wrestling Championship after Iowa State wrestling broke the Tigers' 12 consecutive conference championship win streak and back-to-back Big 12 titles. Iowa State had 148.5 points in the team's first Big 12 Wrestling Championship win since 2009. The Tigers were represented at 165 pounds and 197 pounds in the finals.

In the most anticipated match-up of the weekend, No. 1 Keegan O'Toole was up against then-ISU senior David Carr. In 2022, O'Toole won the NCAA Championship at 165 pounds, and in 2023, Carr took home the trophy. O'Toole had the advantage from the beginning with two takedowns in the second and third periods to secure his win 8-2.

Another incredible chapter of the Big 12 Wrestling Championship at 165 pounds 👏

Congratulations to David Carr and 2024 Big 12 champ Keegan O'Toole... we'll see you both in Kansas City.
