Nebraska wrestling coach Mark Manning was named the Big 12 coach of the year for the first time in his career Monday. Manning in his eighth year at NU, has led the Huskers to new heights as the Huskers went nearly undefeated in conference for the first time in the program’s 98-year history.
Manning has a 109-42-2 record in duals, including 14-3 and 3-1 in the Big 12 this past season.
During the regular season, Manning lead the Huskers to a second-place finish at the National Duals in January before defeating Oklahoma State for just the third time in school history on Jan. 20.
Manning also collected his 100th career dual win at Nebraska against Northern Colorado.
In the postseason, NU finished second at the Big 12 Championships and finished fourth at the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, its highest showing since 1993.
The Huskers had five All-Americans, the most in a single year at NU for Manning, and the most for Nebraska since 1995.
