SPOKANE, Wash. – Winning their pool competition and advancing to the Gold/Silver pool at the Cadet National Duals in Greco-Roman on Wednesday were Illinois (Pool A), Washington (Pool B), Georgia (Pool C) and the Minnesota Storm Red (Pool D). Cadets are athletes 15-16 years old.
Two of the pool finals were dominant wins, as Illinois stopped Kansas, 51-22 and Washington put away Iowa, 57-19. Two of the pool finals were much closer, with Georgia edging Pennsylvania, 39-34, and Minnesota Storm Red getting past Oklahoma, 41-38.
Each of the second place teams also advanced to the Gold/Silver Pool: Kansas (Pool A), Iowa (Pool B), Pennsylvania (Pool C) and Oklahoma (Pool D).
Last year, Minnesota Storm emerged with a close 40-38 win over Illinois in the Greco-Roman finals, and both teams are still in the hunt to win the event this year.
The Greco-Roman competition concludes on Thursday, with the “color pool” competition beginning at 8:00 a.m. The final session begins at 1:00 p.m. with the conclusion of the pool competition, followed by the finals placement matches.
