The Gophers ended up taking 2nd place as a team in the 2012 national wrestling tournament. the head coach J Robinson was named the 2012 NWCA head coach of the year following the championships. His all career record as the head coach is 388 wins, 129 losses, and 4 ties. this is an outstanding record for a coach many critiques believe.
