6/26 - Mark Weber came up just short of becoming Michigan's 3rd national champ of the week. Weber lost a tight match in 3 periods to Colin Johnston of Pennsylvania. David Johnson finished 8th at 152lbs, falling to Eric Cubberly of Ohio. Cam Simaz ended up 6th at a very tough 171lb division and Jarod Trice finished 4th at 285lbs.
Weber, who will be going for his monumental 4th state title next year at Goodrich High School, soared through his pool, going a perfect 9-0 losing only 2 periods along the way. Weber'f final match was not as fast paced as his matches are accustomed to as Johnston used 2-on-1's and arm ties to slow Weber down. Johnston scored two takedowns to claim the first period. The 2nd period began with a scoreless 2 minutes, then Weber won the flip and scored off the leg clinch. Trailing 1-0 late in the third and final period Weber got in deep on a single leg. Trying to finish out the back door, Weber attempted to throw Johnston backwards over his head, however, Johnston managed to keep his hips square to prevent himself from exposing. Johnston added another takedown in the final seconds as Weber desperately tried to muster a last second attack.
Johnson went 6-2 enroute to his 8th place finish at 152lbs, falling to Eric Cubberly of Ohio in his final bout. Johnson won his first 6 matches of the tournament before losing a controversial three period battle with Jedd Moore of Ohio. Johnson, who will heading to the University of Michigan next fall, also earned all-american honors at the NHSCA Senior Nationals in the spring.
3x high school state champ Simaz, who is commited to wrestle at Cornell next year, went 6-1 before entering a 3 man round robin with eventual champion Mike Benefial of Illinois and Chris Perry of Oklahoma. After losing to Benefial and Perry, Simaz landed a spot for 5th/6th.
171lbs, which was widely known by most as the toughest and deepest weight in the tournament, also had another Michigander alive deep into the tournament. Ben Benett of Rockford went 6-2, being eliminated in the same round as Jordan Blanton of Illinois. However, Blanton had a few more points, therefore Blanton went for 7th/8th and Bennet came up just short.
Senior National Champ Trice was Michigan's final all-american of the day and tournament. Trice went 6-1 in his pool, losing only to top ranked Dom Bradley of Missouri. He then lost a very tight 3rd/4th bout with Bubba Owens of Oregon.
