3 Dozen Upsets In Week 12 Of The NCAA Season!

All the upsets that we could find from week 12 of the 2022-23 NCAA D1 wrestling season. 

While many of the upsets may not look like upsets with the benefit of hindsight at the end of the season, for now, according to the rankings, these are all upsets. 

And only one upset at 197 this week. Can you believe it!?!

285lbs #2 Mason Parris, Michigan over #1 Greg Kerkvliet, Penn State

We have a new top heavyweight after Michigan NCAA finalist Mason Parris got the better of #1 Greg Kerkvliet in a one-takedown match on Friday night.

184lbs: Tyler Dow, Wisconsin over #8 Abe Assad, Iowa

One of the wildest results to reverberated across the wrestling community last week. This pin nearly put Wisconsin on a path to victory, but the Hawkeyes managed to avoid the upset in the dual via tiebreaking criteria. 

157lbs: #21 Levi Haines, Penn State over #6 Will Lewan, Michigan

The first of two titanic upsets from Nittany Lion freshmen in their dual versus the Wolverines.
