IRVING, Texas – Northern Iowa’s Parker Keckeisen has been voted the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week by the Conference’s coaches following his performance in the Panthers’ victory over Missouri, competing in the 184-pound division. The redshirt senior earned a 17-4 major decision over Colton Hawks (No. 8) who earned Big 12 weekly honors last month.

The Glendale, Wisconsin native has won 33 consecutive matches and helped UNI improve to 2-0 in Big 12 duals this season. Keckeisen’s victory against Missouri also marked his 26^th career victory over a top-ten ranked opponent and pushed his own school record for best career winning percentage to 95.5% (106-5).

Keckeisen and his Northern Iowa teammates will return to action this weekend, joining a contingency of Big 12 programs at the prestigious Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational.
