Carlos Juarez Ramirez won the 106-pound bracket with three technical falls and a pinfall, and Kyler Carr was first at 150 after four pinfalls and a 7-4 decision over Troy Buchanan’s Evan Kileen.
Logan Hilderman was second at 113 after two technical falls and a pinfall loss, Grant Walker was third at 215 after going 4-1 with decision wins of 3-2 and 2-0 but a decision loss of 4-2, and Travis Shramek was third at 285 after going 3-1 with three pinfalls.
