The Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational was packing in game-changing upsets. Out of the most unbelievable and unexpected results came during the semifinal scuffle for the 165 lbs title. Cornell’s Julian Ramirez faced the eye of the storm as Iowa State’s NCAA champion spun out of control on the mat. But what happened next was nothing short of extraordinary. 

David Carr was inducted into the University’s century club at the CKLV on Friday. He has a .971 win percentage and is preceded by only Cael Sanderson and Dan Gable. Notwithstanding the surprising results at the semifinals, Carr received applause from wrestling world champ Jordan Burroughs.

He noted a similarity between his own intensity and Carr’s and proudly showcased the young wrestler’s accomplishment. Jordan Burroughs uploaded a banner photo of David Carr on his Instagram story captioned “Congratulations”. The single word followed by the crown emoji denoted Burroughs’ recognition of Carr’s tenacity.

The finishing move was executed perfectly and it earned the approval from Jordan Burroughs. He praised the move saying, “That was beautiful” to pronounce his estimate of David Carr. These commendations were inspite of the fact that the Cyclones could not clip the wings of their rival Hawkeyes.
