Great job Suriano and by Rutgers Wrestling
Way to represent NJ!

I don't understand the rules, all I heard were the OSU coaches yelling and complaining the entire match.
Is that normal?
Or are they simply unsportsmanlike?

Love this quote from Suriano ...

“I didn’t quit. That’s my message to all the youth: Don’t quit,” said Suriano.

The cool thing about 2 champions is each gets an awesome first;

Nick: I was the first champion.
Anthony: But I was the first undefeated champion.

Next year?

Nick: I am the first 2x champion :).

Years later:

Anthony: I am the first Olympic Champion.

Great answer to this question by AA:

Q. Anthony, you were the first four-time, undefeated New Jersey champion. You were the first Rutgers four-time All-American, and I'll give you tied for first even though Nick technically --
ANTHONY ASHNAULT: Nah, he's first. I had three chances. I didn't get it done.

When Nick made that last second escape I was yelling so loud at the TV. When he got the TD I jumped so high it seemed like it to forever to land. Great job Nick! Thank you for bringing a National Championship to Rutgers!
