Gotcha. I knew he wrestled for it but didn't know whether he'd won it. From Cody or somewhere up there, right?

So close. I hate the feelings he is going through to have been so very close.

Heil should have had at least a second stall call. Great match Bryce!! Get that leg free and Wyoming has their National Champion...

Next year is his year. He very well could be a 3 time finalist and two time champ

I thought the stall called in the third really hurt Bryce's chances. He was in a dominant position being above and behind Heil. Heil held on and the ref called the stall, although I thought the ref called it too quick. Bryce was still attacking from his position. You have to give credit to Heil though. That kid is strong. He held on and kept Bryce from getting the takedown.

It was a great match. It's amazing how close the margin is between national champion and not national champion.
