NCAA wrestling: Gophers’ McEnelly, Steveson advance to semifinals
Minnesota’s Max McEnelly and Gable Steveson are both into the semifinals, and Vance VomBaur and Tommy Askey are bound for the Blood Round after Session III of the 2025 NCAA Championships concluded Friday afternoon in Philadelphia.
McEnelly and Steveson each claimed All-America honors for their performances, a first for McEnelly, a redshirt freshman. Steveson becomes the first in Gophers’ history to become a five-time All-American.
VomBaur and Askey can join them if they can prevail Friday night. It was last year in the Blood Round where VomBaur won his match to become an All-American for the first time, while Askey reached the session but did not record a win.
Session IV gets underway Friday night at 7 p.m. CT. Minnesota is in seventh place with 35.5 points, just 1.5 points back of Ohio State (37.0) for sixth and 2.0 behind Northern Iowa (37.5) for fifth. Penn State leads the team race with 90.5 points, followed by Nebraska (65.5) and Oklahoma State (63.0).
