Bastida Named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week
12.23.2025 | Wrestling
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State heavyweight Yonger Bastida was named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week after securing a pair of victories against top-6 opponents last weekend at the Collegiate Wrestling Duals, the league office announced Tuesday.
Bastida defeated both Ohio State's No. 3 Nick Feldman and Lehigh's No. 6 Nathan Taylor Sunday afternoon in Nashville. Both matches ended with the same score, a 4-2 decision in the Cuban's favor.
It marks Bastida's fourth career weekly honor from the league and the second time this season that a Cyclone has been recognized by the conference.
Now 12-0 on the season, Bastida has seven wins over ranked opponents, including four wins over top-10 foes. He owns a 43:1 takedown ratio this season and has gone eight-consecutive matches without surrendering a takedown.
No. 3 Iowa State is off until after the New Year. The Cyclones are back in action Jan. 4 at Stanford.
