Londen Murphy (Archbishop Moeller, OH) 150

Kwaak was the slight underdog as he sat four spots back from Griffin LaPlante (St. Francis, NY) in the pecking order. When the final whistle blew, Kwaak got his hand raised based on a 10-5 tally.

Bo Koedam (Sergeant Bluff-Luton, IA) 165

The honorable mention Close edged No. 24 Danarii Mickel (Erie McDowell, PA), 1-0, to capture the gold at the Mid-Winter Mayhem.

Max Konopka (Simsbury, CT) 190

A battled of ranked wrestlers unfolded in the championship round at the Eastern States Classic at 190lbs as No. 13 Devin Downes (Plainedge, NY) faced off with No. 22 Konopka. The underdog came out ahead of this one as Konopka posted an 8-4 decision.

Martin squared off with honorable mention Garrett Kawczynski (Port Washington, WI) in the final bout at 215 at The Duffy and walked away the 4-2 victor.

Dante DeLuca (Don Bosco Prep, NJ) 215

The East Coast Catholic Classic finals gave DeLuca an opportunity to put his name on the national map when he faced honorable mention Stosh Zalota (Malvern Prep, PA) to decide the champ. DeLuca was declared the winner after posting a 6-3 score.
