Nicholas Mason continues to battle for the NCAA Division II lead in falls.

UIndy 149-pounder Logan Bailey had a big weekend with three falls to move into the lead in Division II over Tiffin's Nicholas Mason. Both wrestlers have 11 falls, but Bailey has reached that mark in eight minutes less aggregate time than Mason. Bailey has his pins in 23:24 while Mason is at 31:32.

The inaugural NCAA Wrestling Awards were presented at the 2012 wrestling championships. The three awards, given in each division, honor the Most Dominant Wrestler as well as the student-athletes that have accumulated the most falls and the most technical falls throughout the course of the regular and postseasons.

For falls and tech falls to be counted for the awards they must come against opponents in the same division (i.e. Division II vs. Division II). Ties in the two categories are broken based on the aggregate time.
