COLUMBIA, Mo. - The No. 5 Mizzou wrestling squad makes their way to Troy, N.Y. this Saturday for the 2014 Northeast Duals. Head Coach Brian Smith and his Tigers will compete in four duals, including a matchup against No. 19 Oklahoma.
The 12th annual Journeymen / Asics Northeast Duals will be broadcasted live on FloWrestling.org. A total of 16 teams from across the country will compete at this year's event.

Miklus Makes National Statement
Redshirt freshman Willie Miklus stole the match last Sunday in Norfolk, Va., as he claimed a big upset over No. 2 Jack Dechow (9-7 SV1). The win by Miklus moved him to a perfect 8-0 this season and also helped catch the attention of the national media. After being un-ranked in every preseason media outlet poll, the Altoona, Iowa native is now ranked as high as No. 10 (Intermat) in the country at 184 pounds.
