Bora brought home the gold for the Prairie Fire wrestling team by winning a pair of big matches at the 2013 Northern Wrestling Association (NWA) Conference Tournament on February 23.

Bora is the Prairie Fire Performer of the Week following his first place finish in the Heavyweight division.  Knox now has back-to-back Heavyweight NWA Conference champions after James Wagner finished first at the 2012 tournament.

After a bye in the quarterfinals, Bora pinned Andy Crivellone of Lakeland College (WI) at the 2:51 mark of their semifinal match.  Bora advanced to the first place match and defeated Lakeland’s Andrew Wagner 8-4 to win the conference title.

Bora’s wins accounted for 14 of the Prairie Fire’s 27.5 team points and helped lead Knox to a fourth place finish in the team standings.
