Negron (165) had a weekend to remember. He kicked things off Saturday in ASU's dual against No. 21 Rutgers by pinning 2022 All-American Connor O'Neill in 1:40. Negron then ran through the 165A bracket (3-0) of the Journeymen Collegiate Classic to win the Hammer Award. His run included an upset win over No. 19 Lucas Ravno of Penn (5-2 decision).
 
Figueroa (125) upset two top-20 opponents over the weekend. He got the 5-3 decision over No. 17 Dylan Shawver of Rutgers on Saturday, then fought to a 6-2 decision over No. 18 Ryan Miller (Penn) Sunday. Collectively he won four matches over two days and outscored his competition 32-7.
 
ASU's younger wrestlers all showed strength too. Tristan Mascarenas took first in the 125C division, earning two wins by fall and a major decision. Carter Dibert (133C) swept too and earned bonus points in two bouts. True freshman Michael Kilic made his name known in the Keystone state, picking up two tech falls and a major decision, and Jacob Meissner swept thanks to two decisions and a forfeit.
