by Gary Abbott, USA Wrestling
Along with the rest of the sporting world, a number of changes were made this week at the 41st Virginia Duals, as some teams and individuals were not able to compete due to the ongoing pandemic. Adjustments were made, with some last minute additions and adjustments made, and this legendary dual meet tournament on the college and high school levels moved forward today in Hampton, Va.
Even before adjustments were made in the National College Division, which features Div. I teams, it was decided to host a series of dual meets this year, rather than conduct a bracketed event which determined team placements.
On day one of the Virginia Duals, Oklahoma and Maryland won a pair of dual meets.
Oklahoma opened with a 24-15 victory over Lock Haven (a late addition to the field). The Sooners won six of the 10 bouts, including four that featured bonus points wins. In their second match, Oklahoma handled Kent State, 35-3, winning nine of the 10 bouts.
Maryland opened with a 25-14 victory over Kent State, sweeping the four highest weight classes. Three of the Terrapin victories were with bonus points. In their second dual meet, Maryland secured a 24-14 victory over Chattanooga, again claiming six victories in the dual meet.
Virginia was affected by the pandemic and was only able to fill seven weight classes, but still competed against two teams, Chattanooga and Lock Haven, with no team scores. In addition, six extra countable matches were held with athletes from the Div. I teams in attendance. Additional dual meets and extra countable matches will be hosted on Saturday in the National College Division.
