Rider University senior Eli Griffin passed out twice during a match at the NCAA Wrestling Championships, leading to an injury default. Griffin, who was leading Iowa State's fourth-seeded Anthony Echemendia when he went down after a takedown, returned to the match after clearing concussion protocol but passed out again. His coach, John Hangey, said Griffin regained consciousness on the mat and was taken to a hospital for observation. After further testing, Griffin was diagnosed with a concussion. This was the third incident this season where Griffin had gone limp during a game but returned to compete.
