Bismarck High state champion Wilfried Tanefeu is the only North Dakota Cadet still alive on the championship side of the bracket at the U16 national championships in Fargo. Reece Barnhardt (Bismarck), Nathan Schauer (Ashley), and Isaiah Huus (New Salem) still remain in the wrestlebacks. Tanefeu started the day with consecutive technical falls including a 10-0 victory over Abraham Hinrichsen of Illinois. He then scored back to back 8-4 victories over Kody Glithero of Indiana and Braden Brasile of Florida. Tanefeu has looked fantastic from neutral, using the elbow pass to score effective to both sides of the body.
Bismarck St. Mary’s two-time state champion Reece Barnhardt ran into an early buzzsaw in Pennsylvania’s Rocco Welsh, but Barnhardt was able to string together four consecutive backside technical falls on the backside and remains alive at 120.
Two of North Dakota’s best young Class B wrestlers are making their presence felt on the big stage. Nathan Schauer of Ashley and Isaiah Huus of New Salem both dropped tight first round bouts before winning two on the backside to advance to Sunday’s second day of action. Action in Fargo will pick up again Sunday at 9:00 AM. North Dakota’s Juniors will also take the mat for the first time.
