FARGO, N.D. -- The Cadet Nationals narrowed down to the All-American wrestlers in each weight on Thursday evening. Wrestling on Friday morning, starting at 9 a.m. local time, will set up the medal matches to be contested from 2-5 p.m. tomorrow afternoon.
88: Devin Schnupp (Pennsylvania) has made his second final of the week, while in the other pool it will come down to tomorrow morning’s match between Dalton Roberts (Michigan) and Michael Doetsch (Maryland) to determine the opposition.
94: Hunter Marko (Wisconsin) still controls his destiny on the way to a Cadet Triple Crown, as he moves to 6-0 and is one match away from the final, where his opponent would be John Lukanich (Illinois). Lukanich is also 6-0, yet to lose a period.
100: Pool A has reached the round-robin stages, where FILA Cadet double All-American Ty Lucas (Florida) already has a win. Also in good position is returning runner-up Miguel Silva, Jr. (Illinois). Four wrestlers remain in Pool B, with only Kyle Bierdumpfel (New Jersey) undefeated. The incoming freshman was second in Greco-Roman, and has only given up points in one of twelve periods that he has wrestled.
106: Pool A has reached the round-robin stages, where returning third place finisher Ke-Shawn Hayes (Missouri) already has a win. After being dominant in the first six matches, he took home a three period slugfest over Greco runner-up Vincenzo Joseph (Pennsylvania) 3-2, 1-2, 8-7. Those two wrestlers are joined by the 7-0 Kaid Brock (Oklahoma), who had not given up a point until the most recent match. Four wrestlers remain in Pool B, with Pennsylvania natives Scott Parker and A.C. Headlee both being undefeated; Parker has yet to give up a single point, and already beat returning runner-up Austin Assad (Ohio), with returning All-American Headlee being extended to three periods the last two matches. Assad will face Headlee next round, while Parker faces Brian Rossi (Illinois).
113: Four wrestlers remain in Pool A, with three remaining undefeated. Michael Cullen (Illinois) and defending champion Stevan Micic (Indiana) are both 7-0, neither have lost a period to date, and will face each other in round eight. Also undefeated at 6-0 is Zahid Valencia (California), and he’ll wrestle Ryan Friedman (Maryland). Likewise, four wrestlers remain in Pool B; where undefeated wrestlers Coy Ozias (Virginia), champion in Greco, and Charles Tucker (New Jersey) will battle in round eight. All-Americans with a loss are Jens Lantz (Wisconsin) and Drake Foster (Idaho).
120: Four remain in Pool A with Joe Smith (Oklahoma) and returning All-American Brandon James (Indiana) undefeated at 7-0 in the tournament, and James has only given up points in one period over two days of competition. Returning All-American Matthew Kolodzik (Ohio) is the lone undefeated wrestler in Pool B, where five wrestlers remain alive in the competition; Kolodzik has a 6-0 record allowing only one point tournament to date. Also clinching an All-American finish is Super 32 champion Michael Kemerer (Pennsylvania) who has drawn the bye in round eight.
126: Pool A is down to the four All-Americans, with defending champion Seth Gross (Minnesota) and Richard Screptock (Ohio) undefeated and facing off in round eight. Gross had wins today over the other two All-Americans, Nicholas Gil (Illinois) and Logan Massa (Michigan). Likewise Pool B is down to All-Americans with undefeated wrestlers Jacob Rubio (Texas) and Cole Weaver (Michigan), the Greco champ, facing off in round eight.
132: Four wrestlers remain in Pool A, with the pair of undefeated wrestlers -- Cody LeCount (Indiana) and Josh Maruca (Pennsylvania) set to face off in round eight. LeCount beat both other All-Americans, Michael Olsen (Kansas) and Nick Reenan (Texas) in competition this evening. Pool B is in the round-robin stages, where returning All-American Tyler Berger (Oregon) already had one of his six pins tournament to date carried forward. Berger has only one match not end in a fall, but that went three periods. Also undefeated in this pool is Aaron Pico (California), seeking a fourth Fargo stop sign, who has shredded the field with six shutout technical falls.
138: With Jon-Jay Chavez (California) defaulting out due to injury, All-Americans have been determined in Pool A. Dewaylon Barnes (Oklahoma) and Chris Weiler (Pennsylvania) will earn podium spots having lost in the tournament, while Patrick Duggan (Pennsylvania) and Jacob Woodard (Iowa) face off as undefeated wrestlers; Duggan allowing only one point to date, Woodard none. Pool B is into the round-robin, where Josh Shields (Pennsylvania) has a win over Ronnie Gentile (New Jersey), and Gentile has a win over Anthony Valencia (California). In both matches, the win was by decision and the loser has scored. Finalist scenarios: Shields in on win, Valencia in on win with Shields scoring, Gentile in on Valencia win by shutout.
145: Pool A has reached the round-robin, where Mason Manville (Minnesota) is undefeated through six matches, all wins by shutout technical fall or pin. Also in the round-robin is Jacobe Smith (Oklahoma) and John Leal (California). Leal lost early to Weston Dobler (North Dakota), who did not earn All-American honors, so that is irrelevant right now. Down to four wrestlers is Pool B, where a showdown of undefeated wrestlers who have yet to give a point -- all wins by pins and technical falls -- looms in round seven. That would be between returning All-American Niko Villarreal (California) and Pan-Am champion Fox Baldwin (Florida). Also undefeated is Zach Kelly (Pennsylvania), while Mack Short (Minnesota) rounds out those remaining.
152: Mark Hall (Michigan) is the lone undefeated wrestler among the four remaining in Pool A, while five wrestlers remain in Pool B with two left undefeated. Those wrestlers, J.P. Newton (Ohio) and Myles Martin (New Jersey) face off in round seven. Martin has yet to give up a point in the tournament.
160: Greco-Roman champion Kimball Bastian (Utah) is the lone undefeated wrestler remaining among the five that remain after six rounds from Pool A competition, while two undefeated wrestlers remain from the four overall left in Pool B. Seeking a Triple Crown, Bo Nickal (Texas) went five matches with all pins or shutout technical falls before finally giving up points in round six, but he is still undefeated. Joining him as undefeated is Tyler Mann (Arkansas), who is the first ever Fargo All-American from that state.
170: The round-robin has been reached after six rounds in Pool A, where Robert Steveson (Indiana) already has a win carried forward over Jared Langley (Kansas). Though the favorite here is Chandler Rogers (Washington), who seeks a freestyle title to go with the two that he has won as a Cadet in Greco-Roman. Rogers went to the third period in round five against Nathan Marek (Oklahoma), who then dropped a match to Steveson and failed to All-American. In Pool B, four wrestlers remain alive with returning All-American Daniel Vitale (Minnesota) and Greco-Roman runner-up Ryan Christensen (Washington) being undefeated.
182: Four wrestlers remain in Pool A, with folkstyle champion Michael Pixley (Missouri) and Armani Robinson (Ohio) having undefeated records. Five wrestlers remain in Pool B, with Chip Ness (Georgia) and Tyler Johnson (Illinois) having undefeated records; Ness has the bye in round six, so the All-Americans will be determined then.
195: The round-robin has commenced in both pools, where one of the three matches has been wrestled in each of the situations. Robert Enmon (Florida) won by fall over B.J. Hurst (South Carolina) in Pool A, where Lance Benick (Minnesota) is also involved and seeks a Triple Crown. In Pool B, Landon Pelham (Michigan) carries a win over Mario Galvan (Kansas), while Dennis Breeding (Ohio) is also involved. Greco-Roman runner-up Pelham lost earlier in the tournament to a wrestler that did not earn All-American honors, and now has the inside position to the final.
220: Two of the three round-robin matches in Pool A have been wrestled, and the remaining match between returning All-American Christian Jenco (New Jersey) and Greco champion Roy Nash (Utah) will decide the finalist. It also down to one match in Pool B, where the two remaining wrestlers are undefeated Kyler Childers (Oklahoma) and Dalton Campbell (Alabama). Childers has yet to give up a point in the event, while Campbell lost in the second to a wrestler that did not earn All-American honors.
285: Four wrestlers remain in Pool A, where Greco-Roman champion Wyatt Spears (Oregon) is the lone undefeated wrestler remaining. Spears faces FILA Cadet All-American Billy Miller (Ohio) in round six, and has wins over the two other All-Americans. Pool B is down to a single match to determine the finalist, as folkstyle champion Gavin Jolley-Little (Indiana) faces off against Nicky Allegretti (Illinois), who has allowed one point from five matches.
