Tweets Of The Day
Michigan wrestler Mason Parris moved to No. 1 in the national heavyweight rankings after taking down Penn State’s Greg Kerkvliet 3-1 last Friday.
Parris, who owns six ranked wins this season, is now 19-0 with 12 bonus wins. He earned a first-period fall (2:44) against Rutgers’ John O’Donnell on Sunday for his 10 pin this season. He boasts eight first-period falls.
Parris, who claimed his 100th collegiate win with a fall in the first round en route to the heavyweight title at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational (Dec. 2-3), now boasts 44 career pins, more than 40 percent of his 110 career wins. His career win percentage (85.9 percent) ranks 10th among U-M’s all-time leaders program history, while his career pins (44) share the fifth spot — with current head coach Sean Bormet (1990-94).

The jerseys are Valiant brand, not Jordan like the ones Michigan wears during games. They’re selling for $120 a piece on The M Den website. Men’s basketball center Hunter Dickinson has his own jersey being promoted, but fans can customize one with another player’s name and number — from either the men’s or women’s squad — as well.
