Ivan Ivanov (Idaho) battles in the 16U Greco-Roman semifinals at the 2025 U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals in Fargo, N.D.

FARGO, N.D.— The finals are set in the 16U Greco-Roman tournament at the 2025 U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals at the Fargodome on the campus of North Dakota State University. The day began with the round-of-16, followed by the quarterfinals and the semifinals in the morning session.


Ivan Ivanov of Idaho (175), the only returning 16U champion, advanced to the finals in the morning session. Ivanov’s six consecutive technical falls saw him outscore his opponents 65-12 across two days of competition.  


Entering the tournament, there were eight freestyle champions looking to double up in Fargo this year. Three remain eligible following the semifinal session – Miro Parr-Coffin of Washington (94), Tommy Wurster of Ohio (120) and Colin Rutlin of Missouri (150).


Par-Coffin started his day with a pair of first-period technical falls, scoring 17 without giving up a single point. He’s collected an overall record of 5-0 heading into tonight’s final session. Wurster pushed into the finals with four technical falls and a pin in the quarterfinals.


Rutlin, the Most Outstanding Wrestler in the 16U freestyle division, went 5-0 with three technical falls and two decisions, including a 6-1 decision over Diesel Pederson of Oklahoma in the semifinals. Rutlin’s finals opponent is Gregory Torosian of California.


Zachary Donalson of Arkansas (113) contributed to his state’s history in Fargo, becoming the second-ever national finalist at this event across all six tournaments. The first, Leo Bugaj, went on to win the national title in 16U Greco-Roman in 1998. He will battle Kacen Jones of Utah for the top spot on the podium later tonight.


At 157 pounds, Asher Bacon of Pennsylvania is in the finals for the second time this week. Bacon reached the championship bout in freestyle on Wednesday, falling short of the national title. His string of five technical falls and one decision pushed him back onto the stage on Saturday. Bacon meets Kayden Hanlon of Nevada in the finals.


Three finalists placed third in freestyle at their respective weight classes earlier this week in Cyrus Millage of Iowa (88), Gage Bjerga of Minnesota (132) and Peter Mocco of Florida (190). Placing fourth in the freestyle tournament were Gregory Torosian of California (150), Xander Horak of Ohio (215) and Rhodes Molenda of Oklahoma (285).


Cody Bakhsh of Delaware (94), Diego Robertty of Iowa (106), Gideon Gonzalez of New Jersey (144), Tate Sailer of North Dakota (175), William Etu of Virginia (190) and Lucas Feuerbach of Iowa (285) finished fifth in the 16U freestyle tournament on Wednesday.


Wyatt Dannegger of Missouri (100) placed third in Greco-Roman last year in Fargo, and Torosian finished fourth in this tournament in Greco-Roman.


Iowa leads the group with four finalists. Missouri and Idaho each send three to the finals, while Washington, Utah, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Nevada each saw two athletes secure a spot in the finals.


In the team race, Iowa leads the pack with 105 points. Utah follows with 75 points, then Idaho with 74 points. Rounding out the top five is Washington with 68 points, and Missouri with 67 points.


The medal matches (3rd-5th-7th) will be held at 3:00 p.m. CT, with the championship finals at 6:00 p.m. CT.
