“I think (today) was an up and down day and we knew that could be a possibility for our team. Coming in we weren’t going to have many one or two seeds. It was going to have to be upsets at three seeds, four seeds, five seeds and six seeds. I think for the most part we wrestled well. We didn’t have as many upsets as we needed to make it a really good day. The two that I thought were going to make it by looking at their seeds made it through. Schrock was the one who kind of got that upset that we wish we would have had a few more of but we are happy for him,” said coach Nate Van Dyke.

Other results of Trojan wrestlers include: Brennan Bergmann finished 6th at 106, Kevin Acosta-Arizmendi finished 5th at 113, Kyler Smith finished 4th at 126, Boden Koehler finished 5th at 132, Brayden Smith finished 4th at 138, Garrett Arp finished 5th at 145, Vincent Branan finished 3rd at 152, Dallas Horne finished 5th at 160, Payton Vest finished 3rd at 170, Aaron Neave finished 3rd at 195 and Cael Kellogg finished 4th at 220.
