The three-match losing stretch stands out on Dan Vallimonts record, but in a two-day span, he can erase the unwanted memories in a decisive way.

Five ranked wrestlers, including Vallimont, will gun for the 165-pound Big Ten title this weekend. InterMat ranks three of those five above Vallimont. No. 1 Andrew Howe of Wisconsin, No. 4 Ryan Morningstar of Iowa and No. 6 Colt Sponseller of Ohio State all defeated No. 7 Vallimont in a seven-day span earlier this season.

“The whole idea of wanting to go out there and prove people wrong — people that think these guys are better than me,” Vallimont said, “that kind of thing is motivating for me.”
