He most recently led the Pokes to their 46th conference championship and a second-place finish at the NCAA tournament.

174-pound wrestler, Chris Perry, won the 2013 NCAA Championship at 174 pounds and will be looking to defend his title in one of the deepest weight classes in the NCAA in 2014. Perry also garnered All-American honors in 2012, placing third at the NCAA Tournament.

 

Caldwell is a three-time All-American, once for the Cowboys last season after finishing third at 165 pounds, and twice for in-state rival Oklahoma.
