DES MOINES, Iowa – Keyan Hernandez of the Team Champs WC of Montana was named Outstanding Wrestler after winning the 106-pound weight class in the High School Grade 9-10 division at the USA Wrestling Brian Keck Memorial Preseason Nationals on Saturday.

The tournament was packed with talent from across the nation, with many of the most respected wrestling clubs entered. Two of these clubs, the Sebolt Wrestling Academy of Iowa and Izzy Style Wrestling of Illinois, had a pair of champions in the High School Grade 9-10 division.

The champions from the Sebolt Wrestling Academy were Carter Pearson (100) and Reid Spurley (113).

The champion at 170 pounds, Aeoden Sinclair, Askren Wrestling Academy Lake Country of Wisconsin, added a Preseason Nationals title in folkstyle to his U15 National titles in both freestyle and Greco-Roman from earlier this year. Sinclair scored a 9-1 major decision over Noah Torgerson of the Pinnacle WC of Minnesota in the finals. Sinclair was second in the Grade 9-10 division at the 2020 Brian Keck Preseason Nationals.
