Brandon Cardin was 7-2 at 145. Brett Buckridge did not win a match, but is a new wrestler who wrestled hard, according to his coach.

Luke Taylor was 7-2 at 160 and Matt Fields was 7-2 at 171. Tyler Corbett was 7-2 at 189. Cole Woofter and Chris Griffin split the 215 weight class. Woofter was 2-2 and Griffin was 1-2. Heavyweight Travis McCollough was 8-1.
