[82 Card]

I didn't hear it until I read that New Jersey article, but Shane was named the Outstanding Wrestler in the NCAA tourney.  That is quite the honor.

The NJ.com article links to another article on the semifinal victory. In that article, they point out that Griffith, an 8 seed, had defeated the top seed in the quarterfinal. They point out that another NJ wrestler representing Virginia Tech in 2019 won another 8 vs. 1 match-up against the same Iowa wrestler and went on to win the championship and was name outstanding wrestler of that tournament. Perhaps a little additional inspiration for Griffith.
