With a win in the Round of 12, Red Jr. became an All-American for the fourth time in his career. He is the Huskers' third four-time All-American in program history, joining James Green and Bryan Snyder. Nebraska has had at least two wrestlers earn All-America honors since 2012 and the program has earned a total of 122 combined awards from 67 wrestlers.
Red Jr. (141) started the night with an 8-7 decision over Missouri's #6 Allan Hart. The senior scored four nearfall points, two escapes and a reversal to take the close match and survive the Round of 12. In his next match, he met UNC's #10 Zachary Sherman. The two would wrestle to tiebreakers with Red scoring the deciding escape to advance to the consolation semifinals for a chance at the third-place match.
Labriola (174) earned an 8-4 decision in the blood round over North Carolina's #16 Clay Lautt on Saturday evening. He scored a takedown in every period and added an escape and a riding time point to secure his third career All-America nod. In his second match of the session, he defeated NC State's Daniel Bullard 7-4 to keep moving towards a spot in the third-place bout.
Taylor Venz was the final of three Huskers to take the mat in the Round of 12 in Friday evening's session, meeting Oklahoma State's #11 Dakota Geer. He ultimately fell one match short of All-America status, dropping an 8-2 decision to finish his run in the tournament. Venz finishes the 2021 NCAA Championships 2-2 to make his career record at the championships 11-6. He closes the season 9-5 overall.
Medal rounds begin Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and will be televised on ESPN2 with individual mat camera streams available on ESPN3.
