2009 NCAA Champion - Steve Luke

In 2009 Steve Luke was impressive the entire season wrestling for UM at 174 lbs.  I think Steve epitomizes the idea of wrestlers being warriors, not just on the mat but in the classroom and in life.  He's a great guy and is a great champion.  This shot is from his semi-final match with Raymond Jordan of Missouri.  Once again, Luke's eye was a gusher.
