LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Three members of the 2015 UWW Junior World Team for the United States entered the 2016 UWW Junior Freestyle Nationals at the South Point Hotel and Arena, and all won their second straight UWW Junior National title with dominant performances on Saturday.
2015 Junior World Team member and 2014 Cadet World champion Mark Hall of OTC won the gold medal at 74 kg and received the Outstanding Wrestler award for winning a very deep weight class.
Hall scored a first-period pin over Logan Massa of Cliff Keen WC in 1:30 in the finals. It was a rematch of their battle in the first round of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Iowa City, which was won by Hall, 13-11. Hall has signed with Penn State, while Massa is with the Univ. of Michigan.
“Wrestling against Logan, I am starting out too slow. He took me down right away. He shot again. I got into a place where I am good. I knew I was comfortable there. It is one of the first times in have gotten there. When you get a guy on his back, you have to put him away,” said Hall.
2015 Junior World champion and 2014 Cadet World champion Spencer Lee of Young Guns was dominant at 50 kg, winning his championship finals with a first-period 10-0 technical fall over Patrick McKee of Minnesota Storm. Lee, who last week announced he would attend the Univ. of Iowa, won all three of his matches with first-period 10-0 technical falls.
“I thought I felt a little tight, not relaxed. I kind of stood around a little bit. I need to move a little more. There is stuff I have to work on. I wrestled good, though,” said Lee.
2015 Junior World Team Zahid Valencia of Arizona State Wrestling won the gold medal at 84 kg, shutting out the 2016 NCAA champion from Ohio State, Myles Martin of the Ohio Regional Training Center, 7-0 in the finals. Valencia, who took a redshirt this year at Arizona State, has defeated Martin a number of times in the past.
“I felt good. I have been training for this moment. I want to make my second Junior World Team, so I am already in the finals (at World Team Trials.). That is good. I need to win two more matches,” said Valencia.
When asked beating the reigning NCAA champion, Valencia said he was ready for Martin.
This event is a qualifier for the UWW Junior World Team Trials which will be held in Irving, Texas, May 20-22. The top eight placewinners in each weight class at the UWW Junior Nationals qualify to compete in Irving. There are a number of other qualifying standards which allow athletes in the UWW Junior World Team Trials field.
Daton Fix of Team BIG won his second straight UWW Junior Nationals freestyle title with a victory over Gavin Teasdale of Young Guns, 6-5. Teasdale led 3-2 at the break, but Fix was able to score two straight takedowns in the second period to gain the edge. Fix and Teasdale were teammates on the 2015 UWW Cadet World Team, with Fix winning a bronze medal at 54 kg and Teasdale placing eighth at 50 kg.
“I just went out there, got to my shots and had confidence. I knew I had three minutes left (after trailing at the break). I wasn’t rushing things. I kept on fighting and coming back,” said Fix.
Three 2015 UWW Junior Nationals runners-up returned this year to win gold medals: Mitchell McKee of the Minnesota Storm at 60 kg, Alec Pantaleo of the Cliff Keen WC at 66 kg and Jacob Seely of the Northern Colorado RTC at 96 kg.
In a battle of Minnesota natives, McKee was able to pin South Dakota State’s Seth Gross of Jackrabbit Wrestling Club in 2:15.
Pantaleo, who was sixth at the 2016 NCAA Championships for Michigan, defeated Matthew Kolodzik of Princeton AWS, 5-1 in the finals. Pantaleo, leading 3-0 after the first period, scored a key second-period double leg to break open the bout.
Seely, who took a redshirt at the Univ. of Northern Colorado as a freshman this year, beat another wrestler on redshirt as a freshman, Lance Benick of Arizona State Wrestling, 9-2. Benick scored first, but Seely scored the next nine points, with seven of his points coming in the second period.
The heavyweight match went down to the final seconds, as Minnesota’s Rylee Streifel of the Minnesota Storm edged Nebraska’s Patrick Grayson of the Nebraska WTC, 10-8. S
Three of the weight classes held at this tournament are not UWW Junior World weights. These athletes compete for national titles and All-American honors, but must select a UWW Junior World weight division if they enter the UWW Junior World Team Trials.
Michael Kemerer of University of Iowa jumped to an 8-0 lead at the break and held off a late comeback to defeat Wisconsin signee Evan Wick of the Titan Mercury WC, 9-8 at 70 kg/154.25 lbs.
At 79 kg/174 lbs., past Cadet and Junior Nationals champion Beau Breske of Ringers added his first UWW Junior Nationals title, defeating Michigan wrestler Myles Amine of the Cliff Keen WC, 9-4. Breske had a commanding 7-0 lead at the break, and kept up the pressure in the second period. Breske has signed with the Univ. of Nebraska.
This is also a qualifying event for wrestlers in four weight class to compete in the Beat the Streets USA vs. Iran dual meet in Times Square in New York City on May 19. The four weight classes included are 55 kg, 60 kg, 74 kg and 84 kg. The champions will get the first opportunity, and if they decline, it will go to the runner-up, etc. Athletes will need to declare their intention soon after this event.
In their media interviews after winning their gold medals, Fix, McKee, Hall and Valencia, the four champions in the weights contested in Times Square, indicated that they would like to wrestle against Iran. They must give official confirmation that they will compete at the Beat the Streets event in the upcoming days.

Outstanding Wrestler – Mark Hall (OTC), 74 kg
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Three members of the 2015 UWW Junior World Team for the United States entered the 2016 UWW Junior Freestyle Nationals at the South Point Hotel and Arena, and all won their second straight UWW Junior National title with dominant performances on Saturday.
2015 Junior World Team member and 2014 Cadet World champion Mark Hall of OTC won the gold medal at 74 kg and received the Outstanding Wrestler award for winning a very deep weight class.
Hall scored a first-period pin over Logan Massa of Cliff Keen WC in 1:30 in the finals. It was a rematch of their battle in the first round of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Iowa City, which was won by Hall, 13-11. Hall has signed with Penn State, while Massa is with the Univ. of Michigan.

When asked beating the reigning NCAA champion, Valencia said he was ready for Martin.
"I wasn’t worried about his title. I am already 3-0 against him. I know what he does. I just feel it will get worse every time I wrestle him,” said Valencia.
