Insane opening match for Jesse, taking on a NCAA champion and a vet decorated freestyle wrestler.

Only difference in that match was some grown man strength vs a kid I’m not sure is 19 yet. Jesse was the better wrestler that match.

Cherry picking a few results for you that I found interesting. If there is anyone else you want results on, say the word. At 79kg - Chance Marstellar scored fairly late and then ended up bloody, holding on to a 5-4 win over Carter Starocci. Very physical match. - Alex Dieringer took out Isaiah Martinez 14-3. AD was favored, but that was a thrashing. No other real surprises so far. In the next round... Mendez will face Shane Mack with a potential match against Tyler Graf in the consolation semifinal (incorrect - see later post) . Lucas Davison's consolation match is not yet set. He'll face either Christian Lance or Nick Gwiazdowski.

Keep those updates coming I’m at a wedding for the rest of the afternoon. Why a wrestling coach would schedule his wedding on the WTT weekend is beyond me.

McKenna is likely the only one that can change that, but that's likely what we'll see. Evan Henderson is a wily vet so he won't give it up to Nick without a fight. Just a note, they won't wrestle the Finals at this event. The two semifinal winners will face off in a best of three at Final X in New York City on Wednesday June 8th, at 1:00 Central Time. An odd time for an event, but it is part of the annual NY Beat the Streets event. Just in case anyone didn't know... Final X Locations and Bout order Update: So much for McKenna having a say. He goes down to Ian Parker 8-5 after leading 5-2.

Wow, Nick gives up and early double leg TD, then follows with his own on a nice duck under, followed by 5 leg lace turns to get the 12-2 TF Lee and Mendez' matches show that FS is more than just wrestling on your feet. Mat wrestling, aka par terre (sp?) can make the difference in a match quickly. Not a commentary on either wrestler, just happened there were 2 good examples close to each other that involved IN wrestlers.

Lee running some tough laces to get a win.

Lee on deck for his quarters match.

What a crazy match! Gross gets multiple turns with a trap arm and pulls it out 13-12. Mendez was the boss most of that match, but seasoned may be the exact correct term for Seth Gross. Nick Lee won in the round of 16, 10-3 over Josh Saunders and Lucas Davison lost another heartbreaker in the same round, dropping 6-6 to Jordan Wood on a late score. Nick Lee on deck on Mat 3, facing 5 seed Matthew Kolodzik, formerly of Princeton.

It appears that the legendary Coach Kearby from Columbia City passed away yesterday, unfortunately due to a car accident. Never wrestled for him, but he was an assistant football coach of mine at Garrett many years ago. Great coach and an even better man. Thought the northeast Indiana wrestling community would like to be aware... https://www.wane.com/news/local-news/man-dies-following-collision-with-cement-truck-on-u-s-27/
