PHILADELPHIA – Iowa State 141-pounder Jacob Frost secured All-America honors Friday night during Session 4 of the NCAA Championships. The Cyclone defeated Michigan’s Sergio Lemley, 9-8, to become the 311th All-American in program history.
Frost becomes 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).
The Louisiana native fell into an early hole after giving up two first period takedowns to Lemley but Frost managed to get two crucial escapes in the period. Frost added takedowns of his own in the second and third periods to claw his way back into the match and fended off a late shot attempt from Lemley as time expired for a 9-8 decision.
In his second match of the night, Jacob got caught in a cow-catcher in the first period and was pinned by Navy’s Josh Koderhandt in 0:59. He will wrestle for seventh place Saturday morning.
His twin brother, Evan, fell a match shy of All-America honors at 133 pounds. The Cyclone dropped a 4-2 decision to Penn State’s No. 8 Braeden Davis in the blood round. It was a first-period for the Nittany Lion that proved to be the difference and prevented Frost from making a repeat trip to the podium.
Iowa State sits in 26th place in the team standings with 16.0 points.
Up Next
Jacob Frost will wrestle Minnesota’s No. 6 Vance Vombaur for seventh place at 141 pounds. The medal rounds begin at 10 a.m. (CT).
