At the Fargo Freestyle National Championships, Team Nebraska’s Junior team was led by Husker commit Cade Ziola as it finished in 12th place. Nebraska’s 16U team finished in 18th place in the team race.
The Greco-Roman portion of the tournament will take place this weekend, but the best indicator of college success lies in freestyle. We’ll be updating you after the Greco portion is over, but not in as much depth.
Ranked #2 in the country by MatScouts, Ziola came into Fargo’s Junior bracket at 190 pounds as the 3-seed. Ziola teched his first four opponents, all unseeded, before downing 6-seed Gunner Henry of Indiana 9-0 in the quarterfinal round.
