As he had done in his quarterfinal and semifinal matches, Gehloff grinded out a comeback win, scoring six points in the final 75 seconds, which included two throws.
"I don't know [what it is that allows me to come from behind]," Gehloff said. "I just want it more. I just want to get the win, just try one-hundred and ten percent to get it because isn't over until the whistle is blown."
Gehloff is the only Cadet to win a 2018 Triple Crown, after claiming the folkstyle national title in April and the freestyle national title earlier this week, where he wrestled at 88 pounds. The Minnesota wrestler was awarded the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler honor for his performance.
