Nebraska wrestling coach Mark Manning was named Big 12 Wrestling Coach of the Year for the second-straight season, as chosen by a vote of the league coaches.
Manning’s Huskers were co-Big 12 champions for the first time.  Their last conference title came back in 1995 in the Big Eight.  The Huskers also finished fourth at Nationals.
