Battle of the OSU’s as McKenna, Brock set to wrestle at the NWCA All-Star Classic
by Andy Hamilton, TrackWrestling
Manheim, PA – Joey McKenna has been one of college wrestling’s most consistent winners throughout his career. Kaid Brock has developed a reputation for toppling decorated opponents. The two-time All-Americans will tangle on Nov. 2 at 141 pounds at the NWCA All-Star Classic in Denver. The event will be streamed live on Trackwrestling.
McKenna, a senior at Ohio State, has compiled a 79-8 record at 141 during his first three college seasons. He placed third at the 2016 NCAA Championships as a freshman at Stanford and placed third again last year during his first season with the Buckeyes.
The Towaco, New Jersey, native is also a three-time conference champion, a 2017 U23 World bronze medalist, a 2014 Junior World silver medalist, and he’s currently second on the United States men’s freestyle ladder at 65 kilograms.
Brock immediately established himself as a national title threat three years ago when he debuted in an Oklahoma State singlet with a 42-second fall against returning NCAA champion Cody Brewer.
Over the course of the last two seasons, the Stillwater, Oklahoma native, has compiled a 59-9 record with 10 wins against All-Americans, including a victory against 2017 national champion Cory Clark.
Those results occurred at 133 pounds. The junior is taking on a new challenge at 141.
This is one of two 141-pound matches on the All-Star Classic bout card. The other one features two of last year’s top finishers at 133 — returning NCAA champion Seth Gross of South Dakota State against All-American Tariq Wilson.
