SUNDAY'S 16U MEN'S FREESTYLE SEMIFINALS SETS UP EXCITING MONDAY FINALS; ARIZONA'S LARKIN IMPRESSES WITH RANKED WINS

By Joe Wedra, Special to TheMat.com | July 18, 2021, 10:07 p.m. (ET)

FARGO, N.D. — After a full day of wrestling at the FargoDome, the finals pairings are officially set for the 16U men’s freestyle nationals.

Both Team Pennsylvania and Team Minnesota have four wrestlers in Monday’s finals. The top five teams in the standings after Sunday are Pennsylvania with 139 points, Minnesota with 104 points, Ohio with 84 points, Wisconsin with 81 points and California with 78 points.

Arizona’s Kyler Larkin (126) stole the show in the afternoon, posting two wins over notable ranked opponents to earn a chance to win a title.

Sunday’s wrestling featured both quarterfinal and semifinal action, setting the stage for what should be an entertaining finals session. Headed into Sunday’s 16U action, there were 10 FloWrestling nationally-ranked wrestlers still battling for titles at the event. Now, just four remain in contention to win championships at their respective weights.

A pair of ranked wrestlers were knocked off quickly in the session at the lighter weights, staying true to the unpredictability of the later rounds. First, it was North Carolina’s Jax Forrest (113) — the state’s only semifinalist — who defeated #15 Jack Consiglio of Pennsylvania. Consiglio, one of the bracket’s standout names, battled a back-and-forth match with Forrest but ultimately dropped a wild 17-14 bout. Not long after, Arizona’s Larkin knocked off another ranked athlete, #19 Kamdyn Williams of Pennsylvania.

The highlight of perhaps the entire tournament thus far occurred in the 126-pound semifinals, when Larkin notched his second ranked victory in a row, knocking off Pennsylvania’s #5 Mason Gibson to punch his ticket to the finals. Larkin worked a takedown to a leg lace in the second period, locking it up and gaining the attention of the entire arena. He finished off the match with a dominant 13-2 win.

The semifinals session ultimately also began with fireworks, as Ohio’s Javaan Yarbrough turned heads with an impressive 10-0 win over Griffin Rial (Colorado), a Folkstyle Nationals champion. Yarbrough has not surrendered a point in this entire tournament — outscoring competition 36-0 — and will face Wisconsin’s Haakon Peterson in tomorrow’s finals.

At 106, Anthony Knox of New Jersey stopped #7 Isaiah Quintero’s run through the tournament with an impressive semifinal match, a 13-2 win to punch his ticket to the finals. He’ll be a part of one of tomorrow’s highly-anticipated finals bouts, wrestling Pennsylvania’s Sam Herring for the Fargo title.

Tomorrow’s 120-pound final is also set to be an intriguing bout, as #2 Aden Valencia (California) will battle Arizona’s Adrian Meza, who ended Sunday with a head-turning 4-3 win over #12 Kael Lauridsen of Nebraska. Valencia nearly missed the finals — he fought off of his back in the first period of his semifinal bout before cruising to an 11-2 win over Colorado’s Jacob Myers.

Another weight that will be watched closely tomorrow is 170, where #5 Gabriel Arnold (Georgia) headlines the finals series. He has outscored his competition 64-2 this weekend. Matching up against Arnold will be California’s Cody Merrill.

Be sure to keep an eye on the 182-pound finals, where there are a pair of Ohio wrestlers battling for the title — Camden McDanel and Luke Vanadia.

Four wrestlers are still in contention to win the USA Wrestling 16U Triple Crown (winners of USA Wrestling Folkstyle, Greco-Roman and Freestyle championships): Mack Mauger (94), Pierson Manville (145), Koy Hopke (220) and Will Sather (285).

Tomorrow’s 16U Freestyle finals are set to be packed with great action, beginning at 1:30 p.m. CST. Every match can be streamed live on FloWrestling.

USA WRESTLING MONDAY’S JUNIOR NATIONALS MEN’S FREESTYLE SEMIFINAL PAIRINGS SET, ARIZONA’S YSAGUIRRE JR. HEADLINES MORNING SESSION

By Joe Wedra, Special to TheMat.com | July 19, 2021, 1:54 p.m. (ET)

FARGO, N.D. – Monday’s men’s freestyle semifinal pairings are officially set as the 50th Junior Nationals tournament continues this week in the FargoDome. The session was headlined by Arizona’s #13 Emilio Ysaguirre Jr., who knocked off top-ranked Nic Bouzakis of Pennsylvania and #6 Hunter Mason of Tennessee to continue his incredible run through the event. Both Illinois and Indiana have five wrestlers in the semifinals.

Tonight’s semifinal round will begin at 5:00 p.m. CST and will feature 41 FloWrestling nationally-ranked wrestlers.

The 113-pound weight class began Monday’s Round of 16 action with several key matchups that mixed up the bracket early. The wrestling started with Minnesota’s #10 Caleb Thoennes picking up a quick 10-0 tech fall (0:44) over Gylon Sims of Illinois, who is ranked No. 6 at 106 pounds. Shortly after Thoeness’ upset, two more ranked wrestlers were knocked out of title contention. Kolton Misener of Kansas notched an 8-3 victory over #20 Ashton Jackson, while #11 Ben Aranda of Illinois posted a 14-3 tech fall victory over #19 Kyison Garcia (Utah).

A bit later in the Round of 16 action, two more notable upsets happened almost simultaneously, knocking out a pair of top-ten-ranked wrestlers. First at 126, Illinois’ #11 Vincent Robinson went down to the wire with Connecticut’s #8 Nico Provo, holding on for a 5-4 win. Earlier in the tournament, Robinson also took down #2 Dean Peterson of New Jersey. He will wrestle #2 Drake Ayala of Iowa in the semifinals.

Shortly after, it was Ysaguirre Jr. who put the tournament on notice, posting one of the top upsets of the event, knocking off Tennessee’s #6 Hunter Mason in a 9-5 decision. The Arizona standout would later create waves around the arena with his standout victory over top-ranked Bouzakis. In total, Ysaguirre Jr. is now 6-0. His semifinals match will be against Nebraska’s #17 Garrett Grice.

At 145 pounds, California’s #16 Henry Porter posted one of the biggest wins of the session, knocking off Colorado’s Benjamin Alanis, who is ranked No. 4 at 138 pounds. The match was a wild back-and-forth affair, but Porter held on for a wild 18-15 win to earn a spot in the quarterfinals.

At 220, #4 Noah Pettigrew (Georgia) posted another key victory in the morning session, a standout 7-2 decision over #6 Ben Vanadia of Ohio. He's set for tonight's semifinals at 220 against Indiana's Christian Carroll, who is ranked third at 195 pounds.

The quarterfinal upsets began at the 120-pound weight class, as #12 Kannon Webster of Illinois turned heads with a massive victory over #2 Cooper Flynn of Tennessee. Webster’s 4-2 decision marked the largest upset of the session up to that point, giving him a berth into tonight’s semifinals. He’ll face Colorado’s #9 Jett Strickenberger in what should be one of the most highly-anticipated bouts of the session.

Later in the session, yet another second-ranked wrestler fell as Pennsylvania’s #12 Kolby Franklin captured the attention of the arena. Against #2 Rylan Rogers of Washington, Franklin held on for a 5-4 upset to punch his ticket into the semifinals. He will wrestle Ohio’s Seth Shumate, ranked No. 5, for a spot in tomorrow’s finals.

The other second-ranked wrestler in the field, Iowa’s Drake Ayala (126), continued his winning ways and will wrestle Illinois’ Robinson in the semifinals.

Tonight’s men’s freestyle Junior Nationals action begins again at 5:00 p.m. EST with the semifinals and consolations. Every match can be watched live on FloWrestling.

USA WRESTLING TEAM ILLINOIS WINS 2021 JUNIOR NATIONALS MEN’S FREESTYLE TEAM TITLE; IOWA’S AYALA NAMED OUTSTANDING WRESTLER

By Joe Wedra, Special to TheMat.com | July 20, 2021, 5:29 p.m. (ET)

FARGO, N.D. — Team Illinois took home the team title of the 2021 Junior Nationals as the men’s freestyle finals action wrapped up on Tuesday at the FargoDome. Iowa’s Drake Ayala won the Outstanding Wrestler award after winning his finals bout at 126 pounds, becoming a two-time Junior Nationals champion. Team Michigan led the way with three individual champions.

Ayala, who is committed to the University of Iowa, wasted no time to pick up his 126-pound Fargo title. Wrestling Indiana’s #12 Sergio Lemley, a 2021 USA Wrestling Junior Folkstyle Nationals champion, Ayala scored multiple times and used a strong gut wrench to finish up the win. Ayala, a three-time 3A Iowa state champion, continues to pick up impressive accolades before he begins his career with the Hawkeyes.

The session wrapped with the largest upset of the day, as Wisconsin’s Ben Kawczynski (285 pounds) knocked off Georgia’s top-ranked Chase Horne in the finals with a 12-4 upset victory. Kawczynski, who is set to wrestle at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, stacked scores throughout both periods to win in dominant fashion. He placed third at the 2021 USA Wrestling Junior Folkstyle Nationals and was a 2021 Wisconsin DI state champion at 285. Horne, an N.C. State commit, entered the tournament ranked as the No. 13 pound-for-pound wrestler in the nation by FloWrestling.

In perhaps the premier ranked-on-ranked match of the session, #3 Jordan Williams of Oklahoma pulled off an impressive late move to defeat Iowa’s #4 Caleb Rathjen, a University of Iowa commit. Williams was trailing the 3-1 match late, but pulled off late heroics to win the title. With Rathjen in on a leg with under 10 seconds left, Williams rolled him through on a crotch lift for two as time expired. The move was reviewed, but ultimately confirmed to give Williams the 3-3 win on criteria. Williams is now a three-time champion at this event, winning the 16U division twice (2018, 2019).

Starting the finals action at 100 pounds, Zane Donley of Oklahoma captured the first Fargo title of the day. In an action-packed match against Indiana’s Nate Smith, Donley, the 2021 Southern Plains Junior regional champion, found an upper-body takedown late in the first and used a handful of tilts to wrap up a 13-2 win. It is significant to note that Donley, a rising sophomore at Vinita High School, was the only 15-year-old finalist in Tuesday’s competition.

At 106, Missouri’s Hunter Taylor took home the title over Minnesota’s Brandon Morvari. Taylor, a 2021 Southern Plains Junior Regionals champion in freestyle and Greco-Roman, started quickly in the first period and never let up. He closed out the 10-0 tech fall early in the second period with a hard-fought score, providing Missouri with an individual champion.

Michigan’s #4 (at 106) Braeden Davis, a 2020 Michigan state champion (103 pounds) found his way to an 11-1 win over #11 Benjamin Aranda (Illinois) in the 113-pound finals to secure his Fargo title. He fired out of the gate with an 8-0 lead just 90 seconds into the match with a pair of scores and a trap-arm gut. Aranda fought into the break, but Davis used a single to a score in the first minute of the second period to win. Davis, a 2019 16U Nationals freestyle champion, is a rising junior at Dundee High School.

It was #12 Kannon Webster of Illinois who took home the title at 120 pounds with a 12-1 tech fall win over Washington’s Yusief Lillie, who is set to attend Utah Valley University. Webster scored multiple times in the first and used a gut wrench to extend the lead early, good to gain momentum to cruise to the victory. Webster, a 2020 Illinois 2A state champion, is committed to Illinois.

Nasir Bailey had one of the most dramatic wins of the finals session, knocking off Arizona’s #13 Emilio Ysaguirre Jr. in exciting fashion. Bailey was trailing late, 4-2, but worked his way to a leg with under 10 seconds left in the match. He finished the score at the edge of the mat with just one second to go, good to win the 4-4 bout on criteria. Bailey, a two-time state champion, will be a junior at Homewood-Flossmoor High School.

#15 Tagen Jamison of Texas won the title at 138 pounds, highlighted by a four-point score late in the match to win, 7-2, over Michigan’s #7 Casey Swiderski. Jamison, a 2021 National High School Showcase champion, held off a late push from Swiderski to secure his Fargo national title. The two-time Texas 6A state champion will attend Minnesota. Swiderski is committed to Iowa State.

Georgia’s #3 Caleb Henson picked up the title at 152 pounds, knocking off New Jersey’s Daniel Wask in a back-and-forth 9-9 bout in which Henson held criteria. Henson, a Virginia Tech commit and two-time Georgia state champion, was down 5-3 at the break but stormed back with a pair of takedowns and defense late to secure the title. Wask was one of eight unranked wrestlers in the finals field.

Another bout that featured plenty of late action was #9 Joshua Barr’s (Michigan) win over #10 Aiden Riggins (Iowa). Barr was trailing 4-2 late in the match, but managed to score two points on exposure with under 20 seconds left to post a 4-4 win on criteria. Barr, a 2021 Central Regional Junior freestyle champion, is a two-time Michigan DI state champion who will be a junior at Davison High School this year.

Michigan kept things rolling with #4 (at 182) Manuel Rojas’ 170-pound win over #14 Brayden Thompson of Illinois. A pair of takedowns, including one as time expired, completed the victory for Rojas, who took second at the 16U freestyle nationals in 2019. The two-time Michigan DI state champion is committed to Iowa State.

Maryland picked up an individual champion at the 182-pound weight class as #9 Thomas Stewart posted a significant 8-4 win over New Jersey’s #3 Brian Soldano, a Rutgers commit. Stewart began the match with a four-point throw and held momentum throughout, tacking on two more takedowns throughout the match to pair with his standout defense. Stewart won the 2019 16U Nationals in freestyle and is a three-time Prep School All-American.

Team Ohio’s #8 Dylan Fishback posted the only win via fall in the finals session, a standout victory over #5 Seth Shumate in the all-Ohio final. His win certainly came with style — not only did he secure the pin with 35 seconds left in the match, but he also hit a highlight-reel five-point throw in the first period. Fishback is an NC State commit. Shumate, who is committed to Ohio State, was a 2019 16U Freestyle Nationals champion.

Indiana’s #3 (at 195) Christian Carroll wrapped up a dominant 10-0 win at the 220-pound weight class, knocking off Iowa’s #11 Ben Kueter, a 2021 USA Wrestling Junior Folkstyle Nationals champion. Carroll, who was second at the 2021 UWW Junior Nationals in both freestyle and Greco-Roman, used a strong gut wrench in the first period to build his momentum and ultimately cruise to a title. He is committed to wrestle at Illinois.

Junior men will return to the mat on Thursday at 9 a.m. to begin their hunt for a Greco-Roman national title. In the meantime, follow along with FloWrestling as the Junior Women go under the spotlight and the 16U Greco tournament begins tomorrow.

16U GRECO-ROMAN SEMIFINALS SET; SIX ATHLETES LOOK TO DOUBLE UP ON FARGO TITLES; TEAM PENNSYLVANIA TAKES STRONG LEAD

By Joe Wedra, Special to TheMat.com | July 21, 2021, 9:24 p.m. (ET)

Fargo, N.D. — Koy Hopke (220) and Mack Mauger (94) still are in contention for the USA Wrestling Triple Crown awards as Thursday’s 2021 16U Nationals Greco-Roman semifinals matchups are officially set. Five other athletes are wrestling to take home their second titles of the tournament after winning freestyle championships earlier this week.

Headed into tomorrow’s action, Team Pennsylvania has the most wrestlers in the semifinals (10). They have a significant lead in the team race with 78 points - the next closest team is Team Minnesota with 41.

Hopke, the Team Wisconsin standout, is into the semis as he continues his dominance here in Fargo. He has posted tech-falls in all three of his matches, outscoring his competition 32-2. Hopke will face Virginia’s Parker Ferrell in the semi-finals. Mauger, who turned heads with an impressive performance through his freestyle bracket, looks poised to yet again add a stop sign to his trophy case. He’ll wrestle Pennsylvania’s Davis Motyka for a spot in the finals.

We’ll see five more athletes look to double up on titles tomorrow: Ohio’s Javaan Yarbrough (88), Arizona’s Adrian Meza (126), Minnesota’s Zach Hanson (132), Nebraska’s Joel Adams (138) and South Dakota’s Navarro Schunke (285).

Four athletes who earned runner-up status in the 16U freestyle finals are also featured in tomorrow’s semi-final pairings: Wisconsin’s Haakon Peterson (88), Pennsylvania’s Pierson Manville (145), Oklahoma’s KJ Evans (152) and California’s Cody Merrill (170).

Mason Gibson, another Pennsylvania standout who was upset in the 16U freestyle semifinals, will be competing for a spot in the Greco-Roman finals. He will wrestle California’s Daniel Zepeda. The other side of that bracket — Meza vs. Pennsylvania’s Kamdyn Williams (Folkstyle Nationals champion) also looks set to be an entertaining bout.

At 88 pounds, we could see a rematch of the 16U freestyle finals. Yarbrough, with a win, could see Wisconsin’s Haakon Peterson if both advance. Peterson will wrestle 2021 Folkstyle Nationals champion Griffin Rial in his semifinal bout.

Tomorrow’s wrestling begins at 8:30 a.m. CST. Fans can watch all of the action on FloWrestling.

FARGO, N.D. — Semifinal pairings are finalized for the Junior Greco-Roman division as the final tournament here at the 2021 Junior and 16U Nationals at the FargoDone is set to conclude with Friday’s action. Leading into tomorrow, Team Illinois leads the way with seven wrestlers represented in the semifinals. Team California and Team Wisconsin both have six in the semis.

Oklahoma’s Jordan Williams, the 145-pound junior freestyle champion earlier in the week, is looking to double up here in Fargo in the 152-pound Greco-Roman weight class. He has worked his way into the semis and will wrestle Nebraska’s Nick Hamilton in tomorrow’s semifinal match. Williams made it to the finals by defeating Zerban in a tight 7-6 quarterfinal bout.

In the Round of 16, a pair of finalists from the junior men’s freestyle division were beaten, shifting up the brackets early in the session. Pennsylvania’s Marco Tocci (106) knocked off Arizona’s Brandon Morvari (106-pound junior freestyle finalist), while Illinois’ Vincent Zerban, who is ranked No. 6 nationally by FloWrestling, defeated New Jersey’s Daniel Wask (152-pound junior freestyle finalist).

Florida’s Ryan Cody, a 2019 Junior Nationals runner-up, is looking to tack on a Fargo title to his list of accomplishments. He’s into the semifinals at 195 pounds, wrestling Wisconsin’s Max Ramberg.

Keep an eye on Benjamin Aranda (Illinois) at 113 pounds. He’s another semifinalist who made the junior freestyle finals — Aranda will be wrestling Wisconsin’s Kaleb Casey.

FRIDAY'S JUNIOR GRECO FINALS ARE SET; TEAM ILLINOIS BOASTS FIVE FINALISTS

FARGO, N.D.—Wrestling in Fargo is set to officially wrap up on Friday afternoon as the Junior Greco-Roman finals pairings have been set following the morning semifinal action at the FargoDome. The slate, which is set to begin at 2:00 p.m. CT, features Nebraska’s Nick Hamilton (152), who knocked off Oklahoma’s Jordan Williams, a junior freestyle champion from earlier in the week.

Team Illinois leads the way with five wrestlers in the finals session. California has four finalists, while Wisconsin and Nebraska have three represented in the finals.

Perhaps the most anticipated bout of the finals session will come at 195 pounds, where 2019 Junior Nationals finalist Ryan Cody (Florida) will match up against Iowa’s Wyatt Voelker, who is ranked No. 15 nationally at 195 by FloWrestling. Cody has out-scored his Greco-Roman competition 52-0 this week, an impressive performance that included an 11-0 first-period win in the semifinals over Tom Culp (Illinois).

We will see an all-Colorado finals bout at 120-pounds. Jett Strickenberger, who took fourth at 120 in junior freestyle, will square off against Max Black in the finals bout. Four of Black’s five wins in this tournament have been via tech fall. He defeated New Mexico’s Jonathan Gurule in the semis. Strickenberger has also notched five tech falls en route to the finals.

Another all-state final will take place at 106 pounds, where California is represented by Ray Ray Harris and Elias Navida. Harris is a USA Wrestling Folkstyle Nationals champion, but did not compete in the freestyle competition earlier in the week. Navida knocked off Oklahoma’s Christian Forbes in the semifinals with a 13-2 tech fall — Forbes is ranked No. 4 nationally by FloWrestling.

The finals session can be watched live on FloWrestling at 2 p.m. CT.
