Looks like 3rd in Cadet Greco
We have 12 All-Americans, but the Cadet Greco-Roman title belongs to Pennsylvania - by a lot.
Pennsylvania entered the finals with 70 points and 14 All-Americans, including six in the finals. Half of California's 10 All-Americans are in the finals as well, and they're second with 50 entering the finals.
Illinois, on the other hand, has five going for seventh place - great for the All-America count, but not a whole lot of point value. We're third with 42 points, and we'll have to fight off New Jersey, with two finalists, seven All-Americans and 37 points.
Jabari Moody won the first period 4-2 at 84, but he did get thrown once by Cody Jackson of Oregon in that period, and Jackson countered Moody's shot with a headlock to get a fall at 1:18 of the second.
Gannon Volk of Minnesota won at 91 and Ronnie Bresser of Oregon won at 98. No reason to think he won't win both.
Next up for Illinois on Mat 1: Ricky Robertson, against Pennsylvania's Eric Morris at 160.
