At the Southern Scuffle, Konrad rolled to the title with six straight victories, five coming by pin. He needed just 1:12 to pin Missouri's Sean Connole to advance to the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, he dominated 15th-ranked Mike Faust of Virginia Tech with a 17-4 major decision. In the championship, he pinned eighth-ranked Tanner Garrett of Navy in just 1: 28.
Last night with the second-ranked Golden Gophers holding a 20-19 lead over No. 16 Arizona State, Konrad delivered with a 3-2 decision against Velasquez. It was Konrad's fourth win in five tries against the Sun Devil All-American.
Konrad is ranked number one in the country with a 20-0 record. Ten of his 20 wins have been by fall. The two-time All-American has won 49 of his last 50 matches and currently sports a 99-13 career record.
Konrad and the Golden Gophers return to the mat on Jan. 14-15 when they travel to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the National Duals.
