LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Fans were looking forward to the heavyweight finals at FILA Junior Greco-Roman Nationals on Thursday, but if were not paying attention, you may have missed it.


The showdown featured Adam Coon, defending champion against Junior World bronze medalist Sam Stoll. The athletes have a history, as Stoll beat Coon at the Junior World Trials, while Coon returned the favor at the Junior Nationals.


Coon came out on top in the finals with a fall at 1:31 over Stoll, countering a throw attempt to put away his opponent.


Coon had a plan for this final match.


“Going into this match, I knew Stoll wanted to hit that throw. He’s been hitting that throw on people all day, so I was ready for it,” Coon said, “It was defiantly a redemption match for me after having gained momentum from beating him in Fargo.”


Another exciting weight class bracket to watch was 96 kg, which featured numerous top athletes, including


Returning FILA Junior Greco-Roman champion Kevin Beazley of Virginia Beach, who wrestles for Old Dominion, who faced FILA Cadet World Team member and Utah high school star Roy Nash in the finals.


Beazley also made quick order of his finals bout, earning a:fall of 1:12. He is seeking to earn as spot on the Junior World Team again this year.


Beazley’s win was a satisfying accomplishment of a personal goal.


“My goal today was to dominate. In the past I had been winning my matches by 1 or 2 points—my goal today was to send a message: hey, I am the best in this weight class and you’re going to have to beat me to win,” Beazley said.


The Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament went to Barrett Stanghill of NYAC, who won his 74 kg finals match by a technical fall of 8-0 over Anthony Valencia of Team Tribal Wrestling.Stanghill competes at the USOEC program at Northern Michigan.


Other wrestlers to win by tech-fall were Arthur Carmona of the USOEC at 55 kg, Alejandro Sancho of the NYAC at 66 kg and Mason Manville of Blair Academy at 70 kg.


Manville, a high school star who is just eligible to enter this age-division, took out Nick Tarpley of CSOTC in an 8-0 technical fall. Manville hopes to make the 2016 Olympic team in Greco-Roman , even though he will still be in high school at the time.


First place at 84 kg was Richard Carlson of the Minnesota Storm, who placed fifth last year in this tournament, who beat Preston Lehmann of the Bison WC in a wild 14-11 shootout. He was very pleased with his performance, which was a result of a year’s tough training.


“I trained really hard for this tournament, and to come back after last year’s performance—it feels really good,” Carlson said.


Also winning national titles were Josiah Seaton at 50 kg, Joshua Rodriguez of 60 kg, Colt Schilling at 63 kg and Austin Dewey at 79 kg.


More than 129 wrestlers took to the mat today attempting to win a 2014 FILA Junior National gold medal.
