Iowa State’s Evan Frost and South Dakota State’s Tanner Jordan earned the first Big 12 wrestling weekly awards of their careers after ranked wins.

Frost took down No. 8 Brody Teske via an 8-1 decision in the 133-pound weight class for the first ranked win of his career at the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series clash. The top-10 matchup between the eighth-ranked Cyclones and No. 4 Iowa was the first regular season college wrestling meet to ever be aired on ESPN. The redshirt freshman took the lead in the third period with a takedown before using a tilt to turn Teske with 30 seconds left and ice the match. It is the second consecutive weekly award for Iowa State this season.

Jordan took down Minnesota’s Patrick McKee (No. 6/8) with a 9-3 decision to remain undefeated on the year. He led 3-2 entering the third period before securing the win with a reversal, three-point near-fall and riding-time point. The wildlife and fisheries science major is now 9-0 to start his senior year. It is the first weekly honor for South Dakota State this season. Jordan was also named the NCAA Wrestler of the Week.
