Breaking Down The Rivalry

  • 2024 NCAA 7th place match - Volk over Jordan 4-0
  • 2024 Big 12 quarterfinals - Volk over Jordan 1-0
  • 2024 Wyoming vs SDSU dual - Jordan over Volk 2-1
  • 2023 Wyoming vs SDSU dual - Volk over Jordan 7-1

This meeting between Volk and Jordan will be the fifth time the two have wrestled in their careers. Their first meeting occurred during a Wyoming vs South Dakota State dual two seasons go. Volk won 7-1 in that contest, but their last several matches have been much tighter. In fact, there was only one total takedown in their last three meetings.

During the 2023-24 season, Jordan secured a 2-1 victory over Volk during their February showdown at the annual Wyoming vs South Dakota State Dual, but Volk notched 1-0 and 4-0 wins at Big 12s and NCAAs respectively. The narrow margins of victory in all three bouts suggest that this All-Star Classic showdown should be ultra competitive.
