PAC – 12 Championships

Little Rock’s Three Conference Champions, Four NCAA Qualifiers Highlight Pac-12 Championships
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Three conference champions. Four NCAA qualifiers. Eight placers. A second-place team finish. The Wrestler of the Meet award-winner. The 2024 Pac-12 Championships was a day like no other for the Little Rock wrestling team. “Wow! What a day,” agreed head coach Neil Erisman at the conclusion of the tournament. “We set a lot of new standards today. There were a lot of ups and downs; I’m super happy for those who get to go on, but also hurting for those who didn’t. As a team, we are going to get back to work and get ready for the NCAA Tournament. It’s a great day to be a Trojan!”
Conference Champions
Before today, only one Trojan had ever advanced to the first place match: Paul Bianchi in 2020, the program’s very first year of competition. He placed second to set the standard for the program, and four years later Nasir Bailey, Joseph Bianchi and Stephen Little surpassed that standard by becoming Little Rock’s first-ever conference champions.  Earning an 8-3 decision over Arizona State in the evening, Nasir Bailey was crowned conference champion at 133 pounds as a true freshman after pulling ahead 7-0 in the first period and never looking back. He was awarded Wrestler of the Meet as the cherry on top. … story at … LRtrojans.com/Little-rocks-three-conference-champions-four-ncaa-qualifiers-highlight-pac-12-championships
