PrintAbout 16 months ago, anybody who followed Mizzou Wrestling figured that heavyweight Mark Ellis was about to lose his starting role to incoming freshman Dom Bradley. Now, he's a national champion. Ellis won a crazy final match in OT over Duke's Konrad Dudziak, and he is Mizzou's second national wrestling champ. Congrats to Mr. Ellis and congrats to Brian Smith for continuing to build a big-time national program. Mizzou is alive and well in the post-Askren era.
UPDATE: For those with ESPN360, it's got the replay of the finals matches. Tune to the 2:35 mark for Ellis.
UPDATE #2: I almost forgot...

That was great!
Even a Chase Coffman sighting!
At least someone from the Big12 could beat Duke tonight.
The sleeper has awoken. . .awakened. . .he woke up.
