Brent Metcalf
So., Davison, Mich. / Davison

Metcalf notched four wins in last weekend's NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals to help Iowa win its first National Duals team title since 1996.  In his first match of the day, No. 2 Metcalf pinned Cornell's Adam Frey in 6:37.  He then went on to earn a 12-4 decision over No. 17 Josh Wagner of Missouri.  In his third match, the Davison, Mich., native defeated No. 7 Josh Churella of Michigan, 4-2.  In his final dual of the weekend, Metcalf beat No. 6 Jordan Burroughs of Nebraska in a 6-2 decision.  For his effort, Metcalf was named the Division I Outstanding Wrestler of the event.  Metcalf improved his winning streak to 13 matches and his season collegiate record to 16-1 with the four victories.  He is currently 11-1 in dual competition, and leads Iowa in most team points scored in dual matches with 52.  This is Metcalf's first career weekly laurel.
