Evanston, Ill. – Eric Montoya (133), TJ Dudley (184) and Aaron Studebaker (197) each won individual championships to lead the No. 7 Nebraska wrestling team to a second-place finish Friday at the 54th Ken Kraft Midlands Championships at Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston, Ill. The Cornhuskers finished with 135.5 team points, just behind No. 3 Iowa’s score of 150.5. In addition to Nebraska’s three individual championships, Tim Lambert (125) and Tyler Berger (157) finished second as the Huskers placed five wrestlers in the finals. Dudley, the third-ranked wrestler at 184 pounds, defeated 10th-ranked Jack Dechow of Old Dominion by a 4-2 decision to win the championship. The victory was the 100th of Dudley’s career, as he became the 25th member of Nebraska’s 100-win club. He advanced to the finals with a 10-6 decision over ninth-ranked Nate Jackson of Indiana in the semifinal. … The Huskers return to action on Sunday, Jan. 8, as they welcome defending national champion Penn State to the Devaney Center.
