“Name the Nebraska wrestler who graduated in 2015 with a 124-18 collegiate record and what place did he finish in at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in 2014-15?”
=================================
Answers:
James Green, who finished 3rd in the 157-pound class by defeating Nick Brascetta (Virginia Tech) in the third-place match.
Green was a four-time All-American, one-time Big Ten champion (2014) and finished as Big Ten runner up (2013) and third-place (2015) throughout his career. At the national championships level, he finished in 7th twice and finished 3rd in back-to-back years to finish out his career. (All of those were in the 157-pound division.)
Green went 35-2 as a junior during the 2014-15 season (including a 26-0 start) and earned the No. 1 overall seed at 157 pounds. He won his first two matches to reach the quarterfinals before falling to No. 9 seed and eventual national runner-up Dylan Ness (Minnesota). In the consolation bracket, Green defeated No. 14 seed Joseph LaVellee (Missouri), No. 5 seed Isaac Jordan (Wisconsin) and No. 7 seed Brian Realbuto (Cornell) before defeating No. 4 seed Ian Miller (Kent State) in the third-place match.
He went 35-5 as a senior during the 2015-16 season and earned the No. 4 overall seed at 157 pounds. He won his first three matches to reach the semifinals before falling to No. 1 seed and eventual national champion Isaiah Martinez (Illinois). Green defeated No. 7 seed Ian Miller for a second straight year in the consolation bracket before defeating Brascetta in the final match of his career.
