CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – A high-flying set of 16U finals has concluded at the UNI Dome with five athletes posting pins to win top prize at USA Wrestling Folkstyle Nationals, plus three bouts needing extra time to decide a victor.

Iowa’s Linden Phetxoumphone was named Outstanding Wrestler in the 16U division after claiming the 113-pound title with a 4-2 sudden victory win over Tyler Turzinski of Minnesota.

Also winning the coveted USA Wrestling stop sign in overtime frames were 138-pound champion Tyler Traves of Virginia and 182-pound champion Max Matthias of Wisconsin. Traves rode out Illinois’ Donavon Allen in the 30-second ultimate tie breaker. Matthias scrambled his way to a takedown and back points in sudden victory against Missouri’s Brice Henry.

Kellen Downing of Montana, Bradley Rodriguez-Little of Minnesota, Broedy Collins Hendricks of Iowa, Dreshaun Ross of Iowa and Garett Kawczynski of Wisconsin all impressively pinned their finals opponents on Saturday morning.
