A bunch of indiana kids battled in East Lansing yesterday at the Grappler Fall Classic. 

-KT Nelson wrestled tough in the 105lb weight class taking 5th place. 

-Roberson and Watson both placed in the 112lb bracket taking 8th and 6th. 

-Mendez and Littell both dominated opposite sides of the 125lb bracket until they both took losses to a tough Ohio kid. 

-130lb bracket had 8th grader Barr take 8th after losing to eventual champ in quarters.

-135lb had several tough Indiana kids, but only had two place. Campbell lost in SV to #10 ranked Edmond(MI) and then later beat #20 ranked Rivera(FL). Campbell also beat Kreitzer 2-0. Campbell placed 3rd and Kreitzer took 7th. 

-Rooks fell in the 140lb finals

-Lee lost in the 145lb finals to #14 ranked wrestler Whitaker

-Dickens went 4-2 placing 5th in 152lb bracket  

-160lb bracket had 4 wrestlers do really well with LaPlace taking 8th, Washington taking 2nd, South taking 3rd, and Ruble losing before placement.  Washington had a SV win against South to make finals  Laplace had a 5-3 loss against the number 1 ranked kid in the country(Facundo) and then looked to have a bad injury against Bailey from Illinois.  South was able to take out Bailey in the next match.

-171lb bracket had 2 guys place.  Calhoun took 6th and Walker fell in the finals.  Walker had a huge tournament taking out the 10th ranked wrestler in the country(Kai Bele-FL).  Walker opened some eyes for sure. I saw 2 big time college programs chatting him up after the win. 

Overall a pretty good showing for Indiana.  Most of these same young men or headed to Super32, so hopefully they keep putting the country on notice about these Hoosiers.
