Austin O'Connor's second national title cements his place in UNC Wrestling history
Posted Mar 31, 2023
Heading into his final season at UNC, Austin O’Connor felt disrespected. The sixth-year wrestler was fresh off a graduate season cut short by a "torn-up knee." Despite being forced to medically forfeit in the NCAA Tournament last year, the 157-pounder placed eighth. But on Saturday, March 18, O’Connor became a national champion for the second time.
