Go Hawks and future hawks! Hoping Arnold has a big tournament - taking out Barr and Welsh would be huge.

2 seed Dawson Youngblut beaten in the semis by Fuchs #6 seed from Michigan.

 

[jrod65]

Jace Rhodes with a fantastic win over 4 seed Seltzer in rd of 64. 8-3

 

[OILCHECKER]

Greyson Fuchs is tough. Has been a good one for several yrs on the national youth level

 

[Sdwrestler_20]

U17 55kg has both Raney brothers from KY and both Cortez brothers from CA. Thought that was an interesting tidbit.

Absolutely stacked bracket. Bassett and Knox as well.

 

[jrod65]

Max Murin and Jacob Warner coaching Cade Siebrecht to a tf win.

BTW Jacob, that shirt is just awful....

Looks like Riggins just lost to Will Henckel #7 overall in 2025 class

 

[LaxHawk174]

Riggins was up 2-0 then gave up a TD and a lace with a little over a min to go in the 2nd. Then he proceeds to shoot straight on and get caught underneath in the same position like 5 times in a row..

 

[MVPFAN]

Lol, Riggins just got beat by a highschool kid from Blair. Riggins has no offense except diving under people with no set up.

 

[MVPFAN]

Petersen won by TF earlier.

 

[MVPFAN]

Arnold 10-0 tf

 

[LaxHawk174]

Arnold wins 10-0 first period TF. TD + trap arm gut followed by high gut then another TD and gut.

[LaxHawk174]

Future Hawks Anthony Knox, Isaiah Cortez, and Elijah Cortez all win R64 & R32 matches by TF

 

[MVPFAN]

Petersen won 10-0 in his second match.

 

[funnyfletcher]

Siebrecht lost to Panera Bread Johnson 12-0

 

[MVPFAN]

Paniro bread TF over Siebrecht.

 

[LaxHawk174]

Rhodes up either 11-3 after break or 13-3 TF over Chase Collins, they are discussing right now.

 

[LaxHawk174]

It ended up 11-3, 4 pt blast double puts it away 15-3 for Rhodes.

 

[MVPFAN]

Rhoads 15-3 TF

 

[jrod65]

Rhodes up either 11-3 after break or 13-3 TF, they are discussing right now.

See Desanto in his corner. With his grip strength, not sure I would want him keeping my arms loose between periods. Toweling off technique needs work too.

 

[MVPFAN]

Jude Link won. He was at Iowa during the season, assume he still is.

Brent Slade by TF

 

[Steevo36]

Where is Chittum?

Where is Chittum?

Didn't end up wrestling

 

[MVPFAN]

Arnold by fall. Was up 9-0, other guy all but had a TD and Gabe did a funky hip over right to the guy's back.

That was pretty sweet. All the piss and vinegar went right out of the dude.

 

[LaxHawk174]

Lol, dudes that wrestled after Arnold, one of them blew the ass cheek out of his singlet, had one of his cheeks flapping in the wind.

 

[Steevo36]

Boo

 

[SPOONER]

For those still squirmy that Arnold/Naak #4 was so close, Naak is at 86 kg while Arnold is at 79 kg.

 

[dtripp26]

Didn't end up wrestling

The Twitter says he's injured. Hopefully nothing serious but given our recent history that is NOT what you want to hear.

 

[LaxHawk174]

Elijah Cortez takes out Bo Bassett in the Quarters 5-3 👀👀👀

 

[LaxHawk174]

#3 seed Marcus Blaze took out Isaiah Cortez 3-0 in the Quarters.

Knox cruises 10-0 in the quarters.

Elijah Cortez vs Anthony Knox in the semis.

 

[LaxHawk174]

Arnold won by 10-0 TF in R16 and he'll be up on mat 5 shortly for his QF match against #6 seed Ethan Riddle from Askren wrestling academy.

 

[MVPFAN]

Rhoads with a nice win over Carl Hughes.

 

[Aleric1]

Kale Petersen wins 12-1 in quarters. Was down 1-0 got a TD and then a couple guts and bow and arrow to end it.

 

[dtripp26]

Arnold won by 10-0 TF in R16 and he'll be up on mat 5 shortly for his QF match against #6 seed Ethan Riddle from Askren wrestling academy.

#2 Barr loses 10-2 as does the #7 seed which opens up that side of the bracket for Gabe...although I kind of wanted to see him knock off Barr!

 

[LaxHawk174]

Pierson Manville is wrestling Kasak pretty tough, he's losing 6-7 with :25 to go. I wonder where he's looking at for college. PSU is getting pretty crowded, maybe he's looking elsewhere?

 

[MVPFAN]

Rhoads with a nice win over Carl Hughes.

Petersen also in the semis on the other side of the bracket.
