FARGO, N.D. – Minnesota’s Gannon Volk and Oregon’s Ronnie Bresser remain alive in their quests for USA Wrestling Cadet Nationals Triple Crowns.

Volk (91 pounds) stayed in prime position to achieve the rare feat after staying unbeaten through the second of three days of Cadet Nationals freestyle competition.

Bresser’s quest suffered a setback when he lost to Jordan Northrup of Illinois in a wild, three-period match at 105 pounds. Northrup followed by pinning Cadet Greco champion Darian Cruz of Pennsylvania.

Bresser can still win the freestyle title, but would need the unbeaten Northrup to fall on Friday to reach the finals. Wrestling will resume at 9 a.m. Friday at the FargoDome. The Cadet finals are scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday.
