Now, lets go inside the headgear of Dustin Fox, the NCAA heavyweight champion from Northwestern. He has had a very successful wrestling career at Northwestern. His collegiate stats are as follows:
Yr.; Overall; Dual
2004-05; 19-12; 6-3
2005-06; 28-11; 11-4
2006-07; 33-5; 13-2
2007-08; 29-1; 15-1
Totals; 109-29; 45-10
Fox is the 2008 Big Ten and NCAA champion in the heavyweight class. He tallied up five wins with no loses in the NCAA tournament. He scored the second most team points in the entire tournament. His 2006/2007 season was also a great year for Fox. He earned his personal collegiate best record of 33-5 and finished third in the NCAA tournament.
Dustin was born December 16, 1985 to Bill and Kym Fox in Galion Ohio. He went to high school at Galion High School and started his great wrestling career. He won two Ohio state championships, and placed three times. His high school record was 132-14. With such a successful high school career, the best teams from around the country made him offers; Ohio State, Stanford, Princeton, Virginia, and Oklahoma all took a back seat to Northwestern. He based his decision on the great education along with the Big Ten’s accolades in wrestling, Northwestern was the obvious choice. He also knew a guy from high school that was going there. He is grateful for his decision because he loves Chicago, especially the concerts. During his free time, Fox likes to go see movies and concerts with his friends. If he wasn’t a wrestler, he would like to make movies. He’s a film major so some day, maybe he will.
Fox’s championship match was a very interesting and exciting to watch. His opponent, J.D. Bergman from Ohio State, was a good friend of his in high school. He knew him for a long time and they always wrestled on the same team. They never met in a real match until college. Fox said it was weird because he was so used to practicing him in high school, and now it’s the biggest stakes with the most on the line. Fox also said about the championship match that he didn’t want to get too nervous before. A lot of people can’t appreciate the moment that they have been waiting for their whole lives because they are too nervous. Fox didn’t let that happen. He sat back, relaxed and enjoyed his accomplishment.
The match itself was entertaining as well. It went into two overtime periods. The first overtime was very action packed. Fox gets an incidental head but in the first to stop up the action and tend to his bloody nose. A bloody nose that goes nicely with his cut forehead and busted headgear. Bergman chooses the down position at the beginning of the second overtime period. Bergman charges up and breaks away from Fox to take a one point lead. Fox then takes the down position and escapes immediately to tie the score. In the final one minute round, Fox blocks a desperate shoot from Bergman and retaliates with his own. Fox is able to control Bergman’s leg and takes him down for two points and the victory. Watch the overtime periods here
