Heil Named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week
November 29, 2017 | Cowboy Wrestling
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State senior wrestler Dean Heil was named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week on Wednesday for his efforts in the Cowboy win over North Dakota State last weekend.
Heil is the second Cowboy to win the award this year, with Nick Piccininni taking the season's first award earlier this month.
Heil recorded his 100th win in style on Sunday, teching Nico Colunga early in the second period for his 50th-straight win. The Cowboy senior didn't allow Colunga a point in the match, using a pair of takedowns and three nearfalls for the 16-0 tech fall. With a career record of 100-11, Heil is the 42nd Cowboy to enter the 100-win club.
With the win, Heil moved to 9-0 overall and 3-0 in duals on the season. A two-time defending national champion, he is the consensus No. 1 wrestler in the country at 141 pounds.
The Cowboys will enjoy a couple of weeks off from dual action before heading back out on the road in December when they'll spend a weekend in the Rockies with duals at Northern Colorado (Dec. 18) and Wyoming (Dec. 19). A handful of Pokes will head to Kansas for the Bob Smith Open next Sunday.
