After finishing up pool wrestling undefeated, team Iowa Black went on to win their one dual of the day today down in Orlando, where they took on the Brawler’s Elite Thunder, out of Pennsylvania. Iowa would win the dual 36-18, advancing to the semifinal round of the championship bracket.
Although the win wasn’t as dominate as the squad had against teams yesterday, they still managed to build their lead with pinfalls. Iowa was led by Jack Wagner, Jacob Schwarm, and Josh Wegner, who all won their matches by pinfall. Those three winners scored a total of 18 points on the day, and their teammates scored the other 18, all matches won by decision.
The future UNI trio of Schwarm, Max Thomsen, and Jacob Holschlag all remained undefeated at the duals. In addition to Schwarm’s pinfall, Thomsen won his match 3-0 and Holschlag won 9-3. Iowa recruit Steven Holloway won a close 6-5 decision as well.
Iowa wrestling recruits Michael Kemerer and Kaleb Young also had a match today, when Team Young Guns Black took on Team Ohio Mafia. Kemerer stayed perfect in Florida, winning his match over Kaleb Romero 6-3. Young would drop his first decision of the tournament, 4-2, to Devin Skatzka.
