Iowa Central's Sarbo Named ICCAC Athlete of the Week

Matt Sarbo is athlete of the week

Matt Sarbo worked his way through the 149 pound bracket last weekend at the NJCAA National Wrestling Tournament to take home the crown. Coming in as the No. 3 seed - Sarbo worked past the other top two seeds in the final two rounds to win. He beat Kanaipono Tapia of North Idaho 5-3 in the semifinals before earning another decision in the championship -- a 9-6 win over Dylan Brown of Northeast Oklahoma. Sarbo was the Triton's lone national champion this season -- Iowa Central has taken the last two 149 pound titles with Keaton Geerts winning it all in 2022.
