There were a number of changes to the 41st Virginia Duals due to the ongoing pandemic, but this year’s event still continued and wrapped up action on Saturday in Hampton, Va.
The National College Division, featuring NCAA Div. I teams, continued with four dual meets, with late-addition South Dakota State able to post a pair of wins over Chattanooga and Maryland. No. 5 Clay Carlson (141 pounds) won both of his bouts. The upperweight standouts for the Jackrabbits, No. 24 Tanner Sloan (197) and No. 23 AJ Nevills (285), went a combined four-for-four on the day.
Kent State, which dropped a pair of duals on Friday, returned to the mat with an 18-13 win over Chattanooga.
Oklahoma took the mat against Maryland and posted a dominant 41-6 win. The Sooners won five matches with bonus points (as well as a forfeit at 125 pounds) while posting three wins via fall.
Below, you can find complete results from the National College Division, as well as day two results from the American College Division and all of the high-school dual meet action.
Day one of the event featured plenty of great wrestling, including four complete NCAA Div. I dual meets.
