Here are the 2018-19 NCAA wrestling award winners

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA handed out the 2019 NCAA Wrestling Awards at the end of the respective NCAA wrestling championships for Divisions I, II and III. 

The inaugural NCAA Wrestling Awards were presented at the 2012 wrestling championships. The three awards honor the Most Dominant Wrestler as well as the student-athletes that have accumulated the most falls and the most technical falls throughout the course of the regular and postseasons.  For results to be counted they must come against opponents in the same division (i.e. Division I vs. Division I). Ties in the falls and tech falls categories are broken based on the aggregate time. 

2019 CHAMPIONSHIPS: Penn State wins 2019 national title
Penn State teammates Bo Nickal and Jason Nolf were in the running for most dominant in Division I right through the final match of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. Nickal had three falls on his way to his third national championship, while Nolf had one fall and two tech falls as he also won his third individual national championship. Nickal finished with an average of 5.20 team points per match to 5.06 for Nolf. Virginia 125-pounder Jack Mueller was a distant third with 4.41 points after his runner-up finish. In Division II, Millersville’s Shane Ruhnke reached the 17-match minimum ..
