Indiana started the first day of Junior freestyle action with 31 wrestlers, but only three survived. Only Jason Tsirtsis survived the day unscathed, while the other three have one loss. Day two will start tomorrow with a weigh-in at 7:30am and wrestling beginning at 9:30am(both Central time).  Here is a rundown of the remaining wrestlers and what they will need to do to place in the tournament.
Jason Tsirtsis- 135lbs
Wrestlers left in his pool: 8
Record: 5-0
Who is next: Keenan Hagerty of Missouri
What he needs to place: Win about three more matches
Notes: It is too early to tell exactly what Tsirtsis will need to do to place, but it is safe to say three more matches will lock up All-American status. His pool has eight wrestlers left, with only two having a loss.
Reece Lefever- 152lbs
Wrestlers left in his pool: 9
Record: 4-1
Who is next: Mark Colabucci of Maryland
What he needs to place: Win about three more matches
Notes: Five wrestlers left have a loss with Reece wrestling one of them and two others facing eachother this round. That leaves at most seven wrestlers left after this round with a possibility of six. Lurking in this pool is #1 ranked Destin McCauley who will be a tough opponent for everyone left.
Adam Decker- 285lbs
Wrestlers left in his pool: 11
Record: 1-1 with a bye
Who is next: Collin Campbell of North Carolina
What he needs to place: Win about four more matches
Notes: This weight has only had three rounds, so it is too early to tell what exactly needs to be done to place. Four of the eleven wrestlers left have a loss, meaning that it will be two or three rounds before we start seeing the numbers drop closer to the magic four number.
