Luke Pletcher and Nathan Tomasello showed no signs of slowing down after an excellent NCAA season as both current Buckeyes took home hardware from the 2017 US Open on Saturday.
Pletcher competed in the UWW Junior Freestyle tournament, and brought home the 63 kg title with an 8-6 victory over Sam Turner of the Wyoming Wrestling RTC. Pletcher was one of many with Buckeye ties to represent Titan Mercury and the Ohio Regional Training Center. Pletcher trailed 6-4, but scored four straight points in the last 90 seconds to earn the title.
Also competing in the Junior division, Buckeye commit Malik Heinselman won the 46-50 kg.
