Okie State's heavyweight Wyatt Hendrickson just beat Olympic champion Gable Stevenson in the NCAA finals.
Hendrickson is a 2nd LT in the Air Force who graduated from the academy and deffered service to wrestler another year. (Wrestlers were given an extra year of eligibility because of COVID)
Daddy was in attendance and Hendrickson give him a salute after winning.

I consider this a bigger upset than Dan Gable losing in the NCAA's only because Stevenson has a gold medal.
Side drama, Penn Statecel's big mad that daddy interrupted the first 5 time champions interview.

TBH there wasn't much for him to do afterwards. He just peaked like crazy, winning the NCAA championships and then beating monsters like Akgul and Petriashvili to win gold in the biggest upset story of wrestling that year.
