INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - It was a great week for the Jersey Boys, who came to Indianapolis with a loaded lineup, and finished the weekend with a pair of 14U National Duals championship trophies.

New Jersey finished it off on Sunday with four dual meet victories, including a lopsided 49-29 victory in the Gold/Silver freestyle finals over Iowa. The key to the finals triumph were nine bonus point wins in their 12 victories. Iowa, which mustered six wins, including four bonus point victories, could not keep up with the Jersey onslaught.

Iowa got off to a 5-0 lead with a forfeit win by Gavin Landers at 92 pounds. New Jersey bounced back with two straight wins for its first lead of the day.

Killian Colluccio of New Jersey won a very competitive 8-6 match at 97 pounds over Hendrix Schwab, getting three takedowns and a two-point reversal along the way. Paul Kenny of New Jersey kept up the momentum with an 11-0 technical fall over Matthew Tran, with five takedowns and a step out to give his team time a 7-6 edge.

Iowa answered quickly at 106, when Dawson Youngblut cradled up and pinned Nicholas DiFrancescantonio for five big team points.

New Jersey rebounded as Ryan DeGeorge opened up his offense at 110, with a 14-4 technical fall over Dylan Colleran, scoring takedowns and tilts in both periods. New Jersey reclaimed a 14-13 lead at 114 pounds, when Gideon Gonzalez edged Justis Jesuroga, 4-2, leading early and scoring a takedown and two step outs.

Iowa got a huge pin at 119, when Maximus Dhabolt put away Nate Keller in 3:39. Trailing 6-1 late in the second period, Dhabolt nailed a hip toss to put Keller on his back, and he pressed for the fall.

New Jersey regained control with a pair of bonus points wins. Leading 6-0, Morgan Schwartz secured a spladle from the feet and pinned Jax Shekleton in just 1:05 at 125. Joseph Schinder added a first-period 10-0 technical fall at 130 over Noah Howk-Erwin, scoring takedowns and multiple turns.

An Iowa win at 136 tightened it up, as Aiden Kirk scored a pair of four-point takedowns on the way to 10-1 victory over Ryan Gavrish.

New Jersey blew it open with three straight wins in the higher weight classes. AJ Di Giovanni used four head pinch turns to secure an 11-0 first period technical fall over Nolan Kriegel at 149. Joseph Monticello jumped to an 8-0 lead before finishing off an 8-4 win over Brayden Koester at 165. Nevin Mattessich locked up a cradle from the feet and secured a pin at 1:10 to give the Garden State a healthy nine-point lead in the standings.

Iowa’s hopes for a late comeback did not materialize, as they won only two of the final five matches of the dual meet. Rather than Iowa getting closer, all three of the New Jersey wins at the end of the dual meet were technical falls, which actually extended the margin of their victory.

Iowa’s John Kelso won the battle of big men at 250, with a 7-5 win over Mateo Vinciguerra, including a big four-point move in the second period.

New Jersey got three technical falls in the final four bouts, with Anthony Curlo (71), Jojo Burke (83) and Cameron Sontz (87) putting away opponents. All three won their bouts 10-0, with multiple takedowns and turns in each of their victories.

The final winner for Iowa was Ethan Humphrey, who kept on the pressure with four takedowns for a 10-0 technical fall over Cade Collins at 77 pounds.

Over the course of the four days, Team New Jersey’s Greco-Roman and freestyle teams won 14 dual meets without a loss. They had defeated Indiana Gold 50-32 to win the 14U National Duals title in Greco-Roman on Friday. There were 17 New Jersey wrestlers who competed in both the Greco-Roman and the freestyle finals matches.

Iowa reached the finals with a stunning 39-38 victory in round three of Pool B in the Gold/Silver Pool. Iowa won the last two matches to take the dual, a decision by Ethan Humphrey at 77 pounds and a pin by Hayden Schwab at 83 pounds.

Indiana Gold won 10 matches in the third-place bout to defeat Illinois, 45-32. It was a good weekend for the hosts from Indiana, which were also the runners-up in the Greco-Roman tournament.

Fifth place went to Ohio, which won eight of the last nine matches in the dual meet for a 48-26 win over Pennsylvania Blue. Bringing home seventh place was the Minnesota Storm, which had nine bonus point victories on the way to their 43-38 win over Oklahoma Red.

California won the Bronze/Copper pool (for places 9-16) with a 45-37 win over Michigan Blue. The Red/Blue pool went to Utah, a 48-35 winner of Georgia. Claiming the Green/Yellow Pool was Florida, which stopped Maryland, 43-27.
