Michigan finishes runner-up in both styles at Junior Duals
7/1 - It was a huge week for the Michigan Junior National Team as Michigan finished runner-up both Greco and Freestyle at the Junior National Duals in Oklahoma.
In both styles Michigan won their pool, and then stormed through the Gold/Silver Pool to reach the championship finals. They downed a star-studded California team in both styles to advance to the finals and in both styles they lost to Illinois in the finale.
There were more big wins that one could count, however, a short list of notable victories by Michiganders is listed below.
Senior Adam Coon and Junior Zac Hall led the way for Michigan, going undefeated in both styles and earning spots on the All-Tournament Team in both styles. Hall, a 2x GFC Champ, scored a big 10-2 freestyle win over #8 nationally ranked Zahid Valencia of California. Coon, the MIG Prep Wrestler of The Year, was as dominant as ever, not surrendering a point in an all tech or pin freestyle showing.
Also making the freestyle All-tournament team was St Johns freshman Ian Parker, wrestling up in the Junior Division. Parker was 6-0 with a big TF win over returning Double Fargo AA Kirk Johansen of Illinois.
Making the Greco-Roman All-Tournament Team, in addition to Hall and Coon, was Steve Bleise of Chelsea who went 6-0 at 145lbs. Jordan Amine (Brighton) and Jordan Cooks (Davison) also went undefeated in Greco-Roman.
