PHILADELPHIA – Jacob Frost finished his NCAA Championships debut in seventh place Saturday morning inside Wells Fargo Arena. Frost, the 9-seed, capped an impressive tournament with a 17-3 major decision over Minnesota’s No. 6 Vance VomBaur in the medal rounds.
The Cyclone’s seventh-place finish came in a loaded 141-pound bracket which included seven returning All-Americans and two national champions.
Frost got to his offense from the jump in his tilt against VomBaur, registering the first takedown of the match with 1:25 remaining in the first period. He would add two more takedowns in the second period before a fourth takedown put the Golden Gopher on his back late in the match to complete the major decision.
Frost is the 311th All-American in program history.
The Louisiana native is the 164th Cyclone to reach the podium at the national tournament and it marks Iowa State's seventh-consecutive season under head coach Kevin Dresser with an All-American. It is ISU's second-consecutive year with an All-American at 141 pounds (Anthony Echemendia, 2024).
Frost finishes his season with a 33-9 record and 16 bonus-point victories (3 WBF, 9 TF, 4 MD).
Iowa State finished Session 5 in 27th place with 18.0 team points.
