After qualifying for the championship pool Friday by finishing second in their Pool D, North Dakota struggled against the best freestyle teams in the country a day later. Team North Dakota wen 0-4 Saturday with losses to tournament champion Ohio, along with Oklahoma, Washington, and Nebraska. Simply finding wins was a challenge Saturday, as the young men from North Dakota only managed fifteen contested victories over the course of the four duals. The biggest bright spot for North Dakota came with Junior Duals All American Kyle Burwick, who navigated a strong group of competitors and finished with a 7–0 record including four technical falls, an injury default, and two decisions. Burwick’s biggest win came 8-3 over #11 nationally ranked Christopher Cannon. The win and overall performance should garner some national recognition in the lead up to Junior nationals in Fargo this July.
Overall, North Dakota national team coach Luke Mellmer was very happy with the overall performance of the team in spite of the disappointing results Saturday, and is looking forward to a great Junior national camp and national tournament this July.
“We were exposed to top quality, nationally recognized athletes and that should help take away the shock factor some of our athletes experience when they get to Fargo for Cadet and Junior nationals,” Mellmer told ND wrestle.
