LOVES PARK, Ill. – The first two freestyle sessions at the 16U National Duals featured the pool competitions, where teams were split into four different pools and competed in a bracket format.

Iowa defeated Team Utah 54-19 in pool A, advancing to the Gold/Silver pool on Saturday. The Gold/Silver pool features the top eight teams in the tournament. Thirteen of the 17 wins belonged to Iowa, with 10 being bonus point victories.

Illinois joins Iowa in the Gold/Silver pool with a 56-19 victory over Michigan Blue in pool B. Illinois won in 13 of the 17 weight classes against Michigan Blue, including two wins by fall and eight technical falls.

In pool C, Ohio Scarlet brought down Pennsylvania Blue in a close 35-33 dual. Pennsylvania Blue edged out Ohio Scarlet with nine wins in the dual, but four of Ohio Scarlet’s wins were bonus point victories.

Minnesota Blue claimed the top spot in pool D with a 46-28 victory over Wisconsin Red. Eleven of the wins in the dual were from Minnesota Blue, including seven bonus point victories.

The top two teams in each pool also advanced to the eight-team Gold-Silver pool. The runners-up in the pool competition included Ohio Gray (Pool A), Michigan Blue (Pool B), Pennsylvania Blue (Pool C) and Wisconsin Red (Pool D).

Four rounds of the Pink and Purple/Grey pools were completed Friday night. The tournament starts again on Saturday at 9 a.m. CT.
