Top-seeded Matthew Kolodzikd, the nation’s top-ranked wrestler at 149, defeated Northern Iowa’s Max Thomsen 3-1 to claim Princeton’s first Midlands title, and sophomore Patrick Bruckie, currently ranked third at 197, ended the dream run of South Dakota State’s Tanner Sloan with a 13-4 major decision to earn the program’s second title.
