Junior Matt McDonough’s second career national title highlighted the University of Iowa wrestling team’s third-place finish at the NCAA Championships March 15-17 in St. Louis.
McDonough prevailed with a 4-1 decision over Penn State’s Nico Megaludis in the 125-pound NCAA finals. McDonough won the championship as a freshman in 2010 and finished runner-up last season.
Senior Montell Marion and sophomore Derek St. John each earned runner-up finishes after dropping a pair of decisions in the 141- and 157-pound finals.
