Team North Dakota 1 finished 3-1 in their pool Wednesday, good enough for third place in Pool C and a trip to the Bronze/Copper division tomorrow. The winner of the Bronze/Copper division finishes in ninth place overall. North Dakota started with a strong victory over North Carolina before being upended in the pool semifinals by Team Minnesota 1 43-21. North Dakota won four of the first six bouts against Minnesota, but the grapplers from the Gopher state reeled of the final nine victories. Winning for North Dakota were Ryan Ripplinger, Michael Weber, Jared Franek, and Payton Hume. Ripplinger started the dual off with a bang, scoring a tech fall 10-0 over Jake Gliva. Franek and Tyler Eischens battled back and forth in a match of highly skilled opponents, but in the end Franek was too much for the Minnesota product, winning 7-4. For those that don’t recognize Weber and Hume, both are Montana state champions wrestling for North Dakota (very well) this week. In what was the bout of the day for North Dakota, Hettinger’s Kyle Burwick battled University of Minnesota commit Pat McKee to an 8-7 loss. Burwick held a 3-1 lead at the break, but was ultimately defeated after a questionable caution 2 for a leg foul on a gut wrench step over gave McKee the lead and another opportunity to work on top. North Dakota then went on to soundly defeat Michigan 2 and Tennessee 1 for third place. Weber and Franek both went an undefeated 4-0 on the first day of competition.
North Dakota 2 finished with an 0-3 record and will compete in the Green/Yellow pool tomorrow.
