In Round 1, Lightning Luke turned a 13-2 second-period lead into a pin over #13 Caelen Riley (ILL), in 4:09.
In the Quarterfinals, LL faced a brawlstalling Joey Cruz, the 5-seed from Iowa, who he tech’d in the dual earlier this year. This time, Cruz succeeded in keeping his L to LL at a mere major. Luke kept steady pressure on Cruz’s head and appeared to wear him out while scoring takedowns in each period and adding a riding time point for an 11-1 final score.
Lightning Luke secures a 11-1 major decision to get through to the Semifinals at 125 lbs u26a1ufe0f #B1GWrestling x @pennstateWREST pic.
