WOLVERINES TAKE EIGHTH PLACE AT BIG TEN WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS After a promising regular season, the Michigan wrestling team entered the 2014 Big Ten Championships with high hopes and expectations, but a tough opening day made it difficult for the Wolverines to come back. Three Wolverines were elimi- nated from the tournament on the first day of competition. Sophomore Rossi Bruno, the No. 8 seed in the 133-pound division, was knocked out after being pinned by No. 1 seed Tony Ramos from Iowa and losing in the consolations round to Northwest- ern's Dom Malone (6-5).

After a first-round bye, Coon lost 3-1 to No. 8 seed Jon Gingrich of Penn State and followed it up with a 6-5 loss to Ohio State's Nick Tavenello in the consolation bracket.
