While there were a lot of excellent matches at the 2019 Senior Nationals in Fort Worth, Texas, the third-place battle at 67 kg is one in particular that sticks out. Xavier Johnson of the Marine Corps and Nolan Baker of the USOPC duked it out in a, 13-13, slugfest.
This was the second time in the tournament that the pair wrestled. Baker pinned Johnson, who is currently No. 2 on the National Team at the non-Olympic weight class of 63 kg, in the quarterfinals.
