Some Highlights are Jake Wilke had two pins as he returned to the mat.  Gavin Bafia won a barn burner on Friday night coming from behind with 3 takedowns in the third period which included the final one with only two seconds to spare.  He continued that momentum battling to take third place out of 26 teams.
Dylan Crouch is dominating as he had a major decision, two technical falls, and a finals match that he won at the end, but kept his poise under pressure.
