Clinton Shepherd 132 U16 Fargo champion! Fantastic job!

Lucas Boe 157 U16 Champion! Great performance!

In another top international result, Julianna Ocampo won gold at U17 Panams in the Dominican Republic yesterday. Well done, Julianna! Let's hope the international results keep coming all summer for our hard-working wrestlers. https://uww.org/event/u17-pan-american-championships/results

Flowrestling has IN 5th for Combined Styles and Divisions! https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12712681-fargo-2024-team-race-tracker

Big day for both of Indiana Men’s squads. They have both positions themselves for a Top 5 team finish tomorrow. Men’s Juniors 3-Juniors into the Semi-Finals: Brady Byrd, Jake Hockaday, and Revin Dickman. Also, 7 others still alive in the Consols for All American placement. The team is currently tied for 6th place. U16 Not to be out done the U16 team has 5 Semi-Finalists: Case Bell, Clinton Shepherd, Lucas Boe, Thomas Gibbs and Xavier Smith. Shepherd specifically hoping to rectify his unfortunate Semi final call from last year. There are also 8 others still fighting in the Consols. The team is tied for 4th place going into the final few rounds. On a side note, I did notice on the Fargo schedule for Thursday they will be holding Beach Wrestling before concluding the last few days with Greco. Be interesting to see if any of the Hoosier boys, not participating in Greco, may take a tussle in the sand.

We are fortunate to have two Indiana medalists at the just-finished Panamerican U20 wrestling championships in Lima, Peru. Julianna Ocampo won her second Panam gold this year, beating the Panamanian wrestler to make a clean sweep of U17 and U20 in the same year. Wrestling for Canada, Will Kennedy took bronze in the Men's 74kg division, registering two technical falls in his matches. Well done to both, and let's keep the results coming at Fargo next week!

Excited to watch Team Indiana!!!

Below are links to a short pre-olympic video series on Stevan Micic. It's made by a faith-based group, so there's some content about his beliefs--but it's primarily his wrestling experiences and mindset and journey to this point, digging pretty openly into his biggest failures.

Do yourselves a Huge favor and go back and watch Hockaday’s Consi finals match that he won 15-15!!! This man has been fun to watch all week. Like I said before they started… locked and loaded!!! 5 purple dogs get AA.

What a run from the young railroader Carter Fielden. When he is on, it is scary. Something up there in that Garret tap water. Finish strong!

This PIN ranking system is a joke. Hockaday with wins over Stanley, Botello, and Verette in the last 365. 4th place finisher last year and he is the 14 seed. He is getting faulted for going to trial tourneys? Something has to change, USAW is doing a disservice to the kids!

Way to rise past last years unfortunate results Clinton. Well earned title.

Unseeded Gavin Jendreas in the Consolation Finals at Jr. 126.

Who’s yelling “That’s 4!” In the Dickman match and how far away was @Momma2Dickmans away when she yelled it?!?!?

Jake is locked and loaded. I think the word buzzsaw will apply today. A lot of purple dogs will be rolling today…. Let’s go!!!!!

Some more youtube episodes are going to posted throughout the Men's competition. JR & Cadet Teams are weighing in now and starting competition tomorrow.

Noone else seems to have posted it, but Heather Crull just won a bronze medal at Panam U23 in Colombia. Not bad for a 17 year old high school student. https://uww.org/event/u23-pan-american-championships/results

This incoming Freshman class may be the best we’ve seen since the early 2000’s

Someone go ask Askren … is Indiana a wrestling state???

Hope he stays at Avon . #TheCounty needs more State Champs ! Onside note, been watching him wrestle since he was 4 years old at Contenders WA, great kid and Family. So Awesome to see Champ !

The guy in charge of pairing

Had the good fortune to coach against Coach Thompson at the New Castle Duals. He was an incredible gentleman and sportsman. He treated me like we had been friends for years when we met. Dave was the kind of coach that gives sports a good name. R.I.P. Coach Thompson.

Way to many wrestlers still in to name, but that should change tomorrow as the difficulty level ramps up as we move into the afternoon. U16 - 32 in Championship side and 22 in Consols. Juniors - 24 in Championship side and 26 in Consols.

Women’s Final Results Juniors Heather Crull - National Champ Kaplan and Bastaic - National Runner-Up Moe - 4th. Cantu. - 7th Junior Team - 4th Place U16 Kaplan - 5th Rowed - 3rd Marsh - 4th Ghaffer - 8th Trenary - 7th U16 Team - 13th Place Men’s Juniors going on now and U16 this afternoon/evening. If anyone wants to update later I’d appreciate it as I can’t hop back on again until real late tonight.

Love seeing that the kids I was lucky enough to coach at Fargo, back in the day, turning into men and leading and coaching the next generation of Indiana wrestlers.

That’s a whole lot of talent. Good luck to all the boys and girls!!

Women’s U16 7 still alive in the Consols 2 made Semis - 88 Kaitlyn Rowles & 136 Maddie Marsh The Indiana team sita in 12th place currently.

Mitch Sliga Won both back to back in 2010 and 2011 at 16U

Lucas Boe - National Greco Runner-Up. This young man had one heck of a weekend. His stock continues to rise, but will we see him dawn an Indiana HS singlet in the future? U16 Team likely finish around 6th or 7th place. Junior Team likely finish around 13th or 14th place.

Juniors - Going into Evening Session B. Byrd - 3/4 E. Roudebush - 5/6 W. Cressell - 3/4 Team currently in 15th Place U16 - Currently Lucas Boe - Championship Finals M. Staples - 3/4 S. Goodwise - 5/6 T. Gibbs - 5/6 X. Smith - 3/4 C. Schofield - 5/6 J. Boyd - 3/4 Team currently in 6th Place

Go check Boes headlock in the finals!!!!

Without Braylon Reynolds.

Seeds are messed up all over . Adrian DeJesus a Cornell commit is a Junior 132 was unseeded but he was also unseeded at Super 32 where the didn’t use the Pin Ratings. We had kids like Clinton Shepherd a returning 3rd placed finisher and US open placer being put as a 9 seed.

Women’s Juniors 3made the Semis - 105 Heather Crull, 140 Aleksanda Bastaic, and 125 Rose Kaplan. 3 others are still alive in the Consols Indiana is currently sitting in 6th. Competition has wrapped for the evening. I’ve got a really busy week coming up, so anyone able to help with some general daily recaps it would be much appreciated. And for those wanting faster results IndianaMat usually gives some good updating of those advancing through the rounds on their twitter page (still refusing to call it X)

James Richards is new HC at Switzerland County.

She will be competing in the U20 Pan Ams as well. She’ll be looking to bring home her second Pan Am gold this summer and her third overall.

If the story is new to you, I'm guessing that means you haven't seen the 2014 Academy Award-nominated film, Foxcatcher. It's based on the DuPont/Schultz brothers story. A gutwrenching film, but incredibly well-done. Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo--top-shelf Hollywood actors--as those 3 men.

U16 - Currently Our U16 team has several still hanging in there hoping to for solid team placement. The team is currently in 8th. Lucas Boe makes the Championship Finals. M. Staples, S. Goodwise, T. Gibbs, X. Smith, C. Williams, C. Schofield and J. Boyd all still alive in the late Consol rounds.

Great showing by this upcoming generation in 16U! Loved seeing some of the top HS names in the state competing at Fargo. Kudos to the Purplesburg bulldog competitors -- glad to see reloading in action.

Junior Freestyle Final Results B. Byrd - 6th G. Jendreas - 4th J. Hockaday - 3rd R. Dickman - 4th W. Cressell - 5th Team finishes in 10th Place

FARGO DAY 2 Women’s Juniors Huge Morning for the Indiana Junior ladies. Crull, Kaplan, and Bastaic all make Championship Finals. Kendal Moe fights back to make the 3/4th match and Joy Cantu earns an All American status too as she will wrestle for 7/8th. Junior team is currently in 4th with the round still going. Womens U-16 The U-16 girls end up with no finalist, but 5 young ladies battled to make All-American statues. Isabel Kaplan 5/6th, Katelyn Rowes 3/4th, Maddie Marsh 3/4th, Naima Ghaffer 7/8th, Rhaigyn Trenary 7/8th. Way to get some hardware ladies. As I mentioned last night I have a busy week so just a heads up this will likely be my last round update for awhile.
