Each year, there are wrestlers who come out of nowhere, while others are incredibly dominant from the start and just jump levels. At the college level right now that distinction belongs to Gabe Dean. And in high school it's all about No. 1-ranked Nebraska commitment Mikey Labriola. 

In the past two weeks, Labriola has dismantled the competition at both the Ironman and Beast of the East tournaments. As if these results weren't enough to impress us, Labriola completely embodied the term Beast of the East as he claimed the 170-pound title along with the Outstanding Wrestler Award. His jaw-dropping run include three straight technical falls follow by pins in the semifinals and finals. Labriola really knows how to finish matches after his pace breaks his opponents.

Check out Labriola's crushing performance below.
