The Junior Nationals is huge. Just ask anybody who weighs 125 pounds and wrestles freestyle.    The size of the tournament grew this year. In the Junior Freestyle competition alone, there were 1,230 athletes who registered to compete. On the first day of the three-day event, there were 1,613 matches held in the Junior Freestyle competition. And there were two more days.    The 125-pound division started with 110 athletes. After weigh ins, with some athletes changing weight classes or not showing, the number changed to 107 athletes. From this pool of wrestlers, there will be only eight All-Americans and just one champion.    On the first day, there were three rounds of action at 125 pounds, and 66 wrestlers were eliminated with two losses. That left 44 athletes still fighting going into Friday's wrestling. Of that group, 26 were unbeaten after Thursday's action.     The big name in the draw is Coleman Scott of Pennsylvania, an ASICS Tiger First Team member and considered by some as the best wrestler in the nation. Scott won the Junior Nationals last year at 125 pounds and is back to defend his crown. He will be competing for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, winner of the last two NCAA team titles, starting this fall. This will be the last page of his high school wrestling career, as he looks to make news at the next level in college. Scott opened the tournament on Thursday with three technical falls, beating his opponents by a 33-3 margin.    Scott isn't the only "big" name at this division. There are at least three other recent USA Wrestling national champions in the draw, including:  · Michael Rowe of Maryland, a 2003 Cadet National champion  · Jayson Ness of Minnesota, a 2004 Junior Greco-Roman National champion  · Reese Humphrey of Indiana, a 2004 FILA Junior National champion    Then there are other recent freestyle All-Americans from past Fargo events, including  · Jeff Wimberley of Florida, past Junior All-American  · Jordan Frishkorn of Virginia, a Cadet All-American  · J.P. O'Connor of New York, a Cadet All-American  · Bryan Osuna of California, a Cadet All-American    Add to that a number of talented and experienced athletes who have either just missed out on All-American honors before, or are big-time stars back in their states. Making it through the 125-pound division is a true test of endurance, skill and determination.    The first big match on Friday came in round four, when Scott faced Ohio star Cameron Doggett down on mat nine. Doggett also had a 3-0 record with all tech falls and was a Cadet National champion a few years ago. Scott won a tight 4-1 match, scoring the first four points on three takedowns and reversal. Doggett got the final point on a caution and one against Scott. Even defending national champions have tough early bouts in a tournament of this magnitude.    Each and every round has whittled the field tighter and tighter, as athletes picked up their second loss and were eliminated.    In the seventh round, Jordan Frishkorn of Virginia was undefeated when he entered his match against Thomas, Mangani of New York. Frishkorn fell behind big early, but battled back in the last seconds to tie the bout at 10-10. In overtime, Frishkorn scored the winning point for a thrilling 11-10 win, knocking Mangani out of the event. In fact, for three straight rounds, Frishkorn got way behind his opponents and scored stunning come-from-behind wins.    In the eighth round, Reese Humphrey of Indiana had his back against the wall, after a loss to Michael Rowe of Maryland in round seven. Humphrey drew Alaska's Elijah Hutchison, who was unbeaten coming into the match.     The athletes come from well-known wrestling families. Humphrey's father is 1988 Olympic coach Jim Humphrey, himself a U.S. World Team member as an athlete and the former head coach at Indiana Univ. Hutchison has an older sister Melina who was nationally ranked on the Senior level for a number of years, and his father Mike is a successful coach. Both wrestlers had their fathers in their corner.    Humphrey immediately took charge of the bout, scoring a takedown and gutwrench. He was able to toss Hutchison with a sweet headlock, but Hutchison battled off of his back and out of danger. Humphrey kept adding points until he won by technical fall. Both wrestlers moved on into the ninth round, each with one loss on their record.    That eighth round really whittled down the weight class. In fact, the eight All-Americans are now determined, as the other 99 wrestlers were knocked out of contention. All that remains left is one more round of action to determine who is going for gold, who is going for third, who is going for fifth and who is going for seventh.
