Cadet Freestyle Day One Recap
Indiana started the first day of Cadet freestyle action with 28 wrestlers, but only three  survived.  All three wrestlers are currently undefeated and have already received a bye.  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.
 
Paul Petrov- 112lbs Pool A
Wrestlers left in his pool: 6
Record: 5-0 with a bye
Who is next: Vito Pesone of Pennsylvania
What he needs to place: Petrov needs to win his next match to assure himself of All-American status
Notes: Three wrestlers have losses heading into the next round.  Two of them will wrestle eachother and the other one will wrestle Petrov.  Others in this pool to watch for are Iowa’s Jack Hathaway and Dominick Malone of Connecticut.
 
Kyle Ayersman- 112lbs Pool B
Wrestlers left in his pool: 6
Record: 5-0 with a bye
Who is next: Jered Cortez of Illinois
What he needs to place: Ayersman will need to win one more match
Notes: Cortez won the 119lbs Greco-Roman title and dropped down to 112lbs for freestyle.  This will be a really tough match to start the day.  Two wrestlers left have a loss and they will face eachother in the next round.  Due to having a bye Ayersman is behind in points, so he will need to win one more match to attain All-American status.
 
Mitch Sliga- 189lbs Pool A
Wrestlers left in his pool: 5
Record: 4-0 with a bye
Who is next:  Bye round then Matthew Hoare of Pennsylvania or Hashem Omari of Missouri
What he needs to place: Make weight tomorrow morning
Notes: Two wrestlers in his pool have losses and they both face wrestlers that are undefeated.  The other two wrestlers left, Omari and Mickey Pelfrey of Iowa will be Sliga’s biggest hurdles to winning his pool.  Omari went undefeated at the Cadet Duals while Pelfrey gave Sliga one of his stiffest challenges in Greco-Roman.

Junior Freestyle Day One Recap
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.

Cadet Freestyle Day Two Recap
Three of the Cadet wrestlers entered the day undefeated, but only one will leave that way.  Mitch Sliga advanced to the finals by beating his two opponents on the day.  Both matches were close, but Sliga was in control the whole time.  Sliga will have Adam Josephson of Minnesota in the finals to complete his Triple Crown run.
 
The other two wrestlers, Paul Petrov and Kyle Ayersman, did not fair as well.  They both dropped their two matches on the day.  Due to both having byes, they did not have enough classification points to get them into the top four in their pools.  It was a great showing by both of these young men during this tournament.

Sliga Captures the Triple Crown!
Mitch Sliga of Fishers captured the first Cadet Triple Crown in Indiana history on Friday night.  He defeated Adam Josephson of Minnesota in two periods, 7-2 and 2-0.  In the first period Sliga took an early 3-0 lead with a takedown and gut wrench.  After a scramble with Josephson, Sliga came out on top with a 7-2 lead.  In the second period Sliga used a nice double leg to score an early takedown and a late takedown to win 2-0.  Congrats to Sliga on a great week and great spring and summer!

Women's Freestyle Day One Recap
For Team Indiana, 2010 is the year of "go big or go home."  Of the six All-Americans, five of them will finish on the raised mat wrestling for first, while one will be wrestling for third.  The women's wrestlers are no different as both Sarah Hildebrandt and Demi Strub will be representing Indiana on the raised platform looking for national titles.  Both will be the first in Indiana history to wrestle for a championship in women's wrestling.
 
Hildebrandt has been dominant all day long with two falls in her six matches. She has only allowed three total points to two different opponents on the day and will look to continue her dominance tomorrow in the finals.  She will face Kayla Brendlinger of Pennsylvania in the finals.

 
Strub has been on fire since the day started, only allowing one point on the day and pinning three of her four opponents.  She will face Julia Salata of Michigan in the finals.


522
Hildebrandt Falls in Title Match
Sarah Hildebrandt has been making history all year long, first during the high school season and now during the summer.  She fell in two periods to arch rival Kayla Brendlinger of Pennsylvania in the finals 3-2, 2-1.  In the first period Hildebrandt scored the first takedown, but Brendlinger scored two exposure and one for the hold on a Peterson roll from the bottom.  Hildebrandt added a takedown late, but it was not enough.  In the second period Hildebrandt again scored first, but could not hold off Brendlinger's two takedowns later.
 
Brendlinger got third place in the World Team Trials this year and beat Hildebrandt at the USAW Folkstyle Nationals earlier this year.  Congrats to Sarah on a great tournament and summer.

541
Strub Takes Second
Demi Strub fell in the national championship match to Julia Salata of Michigan 1-1, 1-4, 1-0.
 
Strub lost the first period 1-1 after scoring the first takedown, but lost when Salata scored last.  In the second period Salata scored first with a throw-by, but Strub came back with two, two point exposures to take a 4-1 lead and win the period.  In the closing period, Salata scored a takedown with five seconds left to win the period and the match.  Great job Strub on a great run at the title.

Mitch Sliga


Over the past two years Indiana has only produced two Cadet Greco-Roman All-Americans, but the wrestlers and coaches are looking to improve on that this year.  This year's team is not deep on numbers, but will have some solid representitives.  Leading the way is returning national champion Mitch Sliga, who will look to defend his title in the same weight class this year.  Last year he won the Triple Crown, but was derailed from that feat earlier this spring.  He will now be going for the daring double championship at Fargo.  Another wrestler to watch is Wesley Bernard.  After a stellar season as a freshman at 215lbs, he has moved up to heavyweight and has had a great spring.  Another name to watch is Jake Masengale who was a state qualifier as a sophomore this year at 171lbs.  He has had a great spring including a Quadruple Crown in Indiana winning all three styles in the Cadet age division along with winning Junior state in freestyle.

Mitch Sliga


This year's Cadet Freestyle team features five state qualifiers and a few other top wrestlers that will be looking to come home with some Fargo hardware.  Leading the way once again is Mitch Sliga who captured a freestyle "stopsign" last year.  Steven Micic is also one of the top wrestlers on the team.  He placed 5th in a loaded FILA Cadet(age 15-17 year old) tournament and won the Central Regionals this spring.  On top of that he went undefeated at the Cadet duals.  Another wrestler that had an unblemished record at the Cadet duals was Wesley Bernard.  He will be looking to continue his hot streak after a great freshman campaign for the Cathedral Irish this past winter.  Brandon James and Jake Masengale both finished the Cadet duals with 6-1 records will also be All-American threats.  James is an incoming freshman that has racked up numerous age level championships.  Masengale has had a great spring and summer and wants to cap it off with a place on the Fargo podium.  Two Indianapolis products, Vinny Corsaro and Levi Moss look to prove themselves after placing at state this past season.

Small but mighty will be the motto for the women going to Fargo from Indiana this year.  This year's team is one of the best assembled and will look to continue the success of the past few years.  There is no clear single headliner in this group, but instead a three-headed monster we shall call Kay-Sar-Dem!  Kayla Miracle in her first season of IHSAA action only suffered two losses and made it to semi-state.  After the state series ended she went out and has done extremely well on the national level.  She recently placed first at the Guelph Open in Canada and has already won a FILA Cadet freestyle title this spring.  Last year saw the first ever Indiana girls to wrestle under the spotlights at Fargo, but both came home just short of their goals.  However, both will return this year to erase the memories of last year.  Demi Strub has had a great spring after finishing 2nd at Fargo last year.  She got 2nd at FILA Juniors, 2nd at the Junior Pan-Ams and won a Junior Folkstyle National Title.  The pride of Granger, Sarah Hildebrandt, is no stranger to success against boys or girls.  The two-time semi-state qualifier placed 2nd last year at Fargo and also placed 5th at the Sunkist Open and 1st at the FILA Cadet Nationals.  Gibby Paxton will be making her first trip to Fargo after placing 4th at the USGWA Folkstyle Nationals this past season.

The past five years has not been kind to Junior Greco-Roman wrestlers from Indiana, but this year could be different with a solid Greco-Roman team looking to capture top honors at Fargo.  Leading the way are two former All-Americans in last year's runner-up Drake Stein and past Cadet All-American Sean Mappes.  Mappes went undefeated in Greco-Roman at the Junior Duals just a few short weeks ago and will look to ride that momentum into Fargo.  Stein had a few hiccups at the Junior Duals and will look to rebound with another great tournament.  Others to watch include a pair of Perry Meridian Falcons, Jared McKinley and Kirk Johnson.  Both have had great offseasons and have won matches in the past at Fargo.  Others to watch include a trio of Roadrunners in Travis Barroquillo, Reece Lefever and Conner Lefever.  Reece(the good looking twin according to him) Lefever came one match from placing last year in Greco and also placed second at the Central Regionals up a weight class while Conner Lefever got 3rd in Greco at Central Regionals this past year.  Barroquillo gave last year's runner-up a great match in the early rounds last year and could be a sleeper All-American for Indiana.

Indiana has had a long line of very good Junior Freestyle wrestlers and this year's team looks to be no different.  A total of 17 past state participants including five state champions and four state runner-ups will be taking their talents to the Fickertail State.  Headlining the crew will be three-time state champion and three time Fargo All-American Jason Tsirtsis.  He has finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in this event and hopes to bring home the biggest stopsign available this year.  Two former Cadet Freestyle All-Americans will be looking to repeat their feat at the Junior age level in Brenden Campbell and Mason Todd.  Todd was an IHSAA state champ, while Campbell was a runner-up this past season.  Another wrestler who is no stranger to national success is the mighty mouse Jarred Brooks.  This spring he was extremely close to making the FILA Junior World Team, but fell to an extremely tough Nick Roberts in the process.  Brooks also placed 6th at FILA Cadets last year and will look to make his first trip to Fargo a memorable one.  Sean Mappes lost only once at the Junior Duals in freestyle has All-American potential.  Paul Petrov and Reece Lefever left Fargo last year with a bitter taste in their mouths after coming up one match short of a placement.  State champions Neal Molloy, Jared McKinley and Drake Stein round out the other top All-Amerian candidates from the Hoosier state.

Three Warriors Survive Day One of Junior Greco-Roman
While only three wrestlers survived the first day of Junior Greco-Roman action, there were many Indiana wrestlers that were wrestling deep into the night on Monday.  Kirk Johnson and Conner Lefever are both undefeated at 160lbs and 171lbs respectively, while Sean Mappes has one loss at 171lbs.  Johnson and Lefever are sitting nice in their pools, but will have to battle extremely tough opponents to place in the top four of their pool to assure All-American status.  Mappes will have his back against the wall and cannot afford a misstep or his tournament will be over.  Two-time state champ and returning runner-up Drake Stein had a rough outing and finished the day 2-2.  State champion Jared McKinley finished the day 3-2.
