Nieveen received an injury default in the semifinals, and won the other two matches with pins. Kevin Weyers won all three matches with pins. Evan Buss received a bye in the first round and won both matches with pins. Brandert went 2-1 winning both of his matches with pins.
Chase Heble (125), Alex Richardson (130), and Mitch Hesseltine (152) all won one match with a decision.
“Freeman did an excellent job at this meet,” stated Coach Troxel. “This was a tough meet with many good teams, and the wrestlers competed at a high-level of intensity. I thought it was a great day when the entire team won at least one match along with having four medalist.”
