He is seeded second heading into this weekend's NJCAA National Tournament in Council Bluffs. Wrestling begins Friday.
He’s wrestled in one of the toughest tournaments in the world – the Ivan Yarygin Grand Prix in Russia. He’s a six-time senior national champion, a two-time cadet national champion, a two-time junior national champion, a world team member, and Asian championship team member and a President Tournament champion.
Mirzo Khayitov did all that before he even heard of Iowa. Now the Uzbekistan-native is preparing to wrestle in the NJCAA National Tournament a second time after placing third and earning All American honors for Ellsworth Community College.
