According to Wildcat mat coach Scott Zimmer, Lang is one career victory away from 100.
"Austin is very focused on getting to Columbus this year and is working hard in the wrestling room to get there," Zimmer said.
At Ray Webster, Waterford's Zeb Offenberger (120 pounds) and Hunter Munjas (170) each placed third while Blake Hiess (195) was fourth.
