Lydy and Streck Remain Unblemished

After the dust had settled in the FargoDome on day six of Fargo there are four cadet wrestlers still battling it out for All-American status.  It is now it is time to slot where each will wrestle the finals. Wrestling got down to the nitty gritty on Thursday evening with the pool matches coming down to the wire.

Leading the way for the cadets are Shawn Streck and Dylan Lydy who after two days of wrestling do not have a blemish on their records. Streck looks to be in the top four of his pool right now and will have one match in tomorrow morning's session against Jacob Marnin of Iowa.  Marnin defeated him in Greco-Roman, but freestyle is a different animal. The surprise of the tournament is the Giant Dylan Lydy who has come out of no where to place in the toughest tournament in the world. Lydy was a regional qualifier at 145lbs this year and is smoking the competition at 170lbs right now. He has five wins on the day and will be sitting on a bye in the sixth round which will propel him to All-American status.

Nick Lee and Randy Scott are still alive and have clinched All-American status at 126lbs and 195lbs respectively.  Lee is on a tear and has looked superb the past two days.  He was stopped by California super stud Zahid Valencia in the 7th round, but came back to clinch All-American status with a win in his 8th match. Lee will have one more match in the morning and is looking at wrestling for 3rd in the afternoon. Randy Scott is another cadet that has had a stellar week out in the Flickertail state. After wrestling under the lights in Greco he is 4-1 in freestyle.  He has one or two matches left in his pool before the finals match tomorrow afternoon.
