Drake Stein into the Finals!

Princeton's Drake Stein utilized a clutch pin to advance to the finals of the Junior Greco-Roman National Championships.  Stein lost earlier to Marcus Finau of Hawaii in the round robin, but the other round robin participant, Khari Washington of Illinois defeated Finau.  Needing a pin or tech or decision without allowing a point to advance to the finals Stein stuck Washington in 1:12.  Stein will face California's Lucas Sheridan in the finals that will start at 3pm Central/4pm Eastern time.  Stein is the only junior wrestler to place in Greco-Roman this year.
