The 2020 Flo NCAA Award For Individual Upset Of The Year
The 2020 Flo NCAA Award For Individual Upset Of The Year
The nominees for the best NCAA D1 individual upset of the 2019-20 season.
Nobody got the ending they wanted from the 2019-20 season. Covid-19 canceled the NCAA Championship Tournament, truncating a superb season before it could be properly concluded. But that doesn't mean we can't honor the extraordinary efforts the student-athletes put forth on the mat.

The 2020 Nominees for the Best Individual Upset
174: Dean Sherry, Rider over Devin Skatzka, Minnesota
Sherry was unranked when he decked All-American Skatzka in the first period. The fact that the upset helped push Rider over the top and secure the upset over the Gophers only made the victory that much sweeter for the senior Bronc.
141: Caleb Rea, WVU over Dom Demas, Oklahoma
As the highest placing returning 141-pounder, Dom Demas started the year ranked number one. Unranked true Sophomore Caleb Rea was undaunted when they met in a dual meet late in January.
