Fargo Coverage Section

7/21 - 7/22 - The wild week that was Fargo is officially over as the

Junior Freestyle Finals took place yesterday to wrap up the

festivities.

Fowlerville 3x State Champ Adam Coon stormed through a loaded

285lb bracket to win the Freestyle National Title, adding to his

Greco title from a few days prior and his Folkstyle Title a few

months prior. With that, Coon became the only Junior in the

country to win the USAW Triple Crown.

Coon, currently ranked #1 in the country by FloWrestling, scored a

shutout, 1-0, 1-0 win over #15 Donte Winfield of Indiana in the finals

to wrap up an unbeaten week. In his pool, Coon scored a win in a

much-anticipated matchup with #2 ranked Brooks Black of

Pennslyvania. Among his other notable wins was a 6-0, 6-0 tech-

fall over #19 Jake Scanlan of Iowa.

Zac Hall of St Johns, ranked #3 in the country, fell in the 120lb

finals after a thrilling three period barn burner loss to #4 Nathan

Tomasello of Ohio. Hall stormed through his star-studded pool to

make the finals, including a win over Northern Iowa recruit Dylan

Peters who finished the season ranked 6th in the country by

InterMat. It was Hall's third straight year of being a freestyle all-

american, but his first time making the finals at Fargo.

State Champion Tim Lambert of Forest Hills Eastern finished 4th

at 120lbs, falling to Tomasello in his pool finale and dropping a

tight loss to Peters in the 3rd place match. The All-American

honor was the 2nd straight for Lambert after finishing 3rd a year ago.
