FARGO, N.D. - The Cadet Nationals Greco-Roman competition kicked off on Saturday morning and a number of familiar faces are off to strong starts.
Michigan's Taylor Massa continues his historic quest as he pursues a second straight Triple Crown in Cadets.
Massa, who won Cadet Nationals in Folkstyle earlier this year, won his first two Greco-Roman matches by technical fall in the Cadet Nationals on Saturday morning.
Massa is competing at 152 pounds. He is seeking to win Greco-Roman and freestyle titles in Fargo. No wrestler has ever won back-to-back Triple Crowns in the Cadet division.
The ASICS/Vaughan Cadet and Junior National championships, presented by the U.S. Marines, is being contested over the next eight days on 23 mats at the FargoDome.
Two other returning Cadet National double champions from Fargo, Nick Roberts of Pennsylvania (98) and Mark Grey of New Jersey (112), are off to strong starts. Roberts won his opening bout and Grey won his first three.
2008 Cadet freestyle national champion Zachary Horan of Pennsylvania (125) is looking for a title in Greco-Roman. Horan won his opening three matches on Saturday.
The second session is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. Central Time on Saturday.
