Steed and Sinclair Claim All-American Honors at NCAA Championships: The Buzz

With the conclusion of the penultimate day of the NCAA Wrestling Championships, a pair of Tigers have claimed accolades by earning All-American honors. Redshirt junior Cam Steed (174) and redshirt freshman Aeoden Sinclair (184) each claimed top-eight placements with their respective performances on Friday.
Steed added a second All-American placement to his catalog. Before ultimately falling in the semifinal round, Steed racked up one-sided victories in the first three matchups. Steed will have the opportunity to climb as high as third place with the consolation semifinals taking place on Saturday. He will look to improve upon his 7th-place finish last season.

Sinclair guaranteed a podium spot despite a quarterfinals loss. After easing to victory in the opening two rounds, a decision loss left Sinclair in a must-win situation. He followed up with back-to-back consolation round wins, locking up his first All-American placement in the process.
