Winning in 2016 was nothing new for Alex. He was just the 14th Cowboy to win four All-American honors in his time in Stillwater, and just the 16th all-time Cowboy wrestler to win three national titles, as well as winning the Big 12 every year of his collegiate career. His senior season, Dieringer went an astounding 33-0 with 12 pins, 7 technical falls, and eight major decisions.
