AKRON, Ohio – The University Nationals freestyle competition typically brings out a star-studded list of elite college wrestlers.

Kilgore, third in this event last year, won his first two matches to advance to the quarters at 96 kg/211.5 lbs. Kilgore will be a senior next year at nearby Kent State after taking an Olympic redshirt this past season.

Bradley landed a berth in the quarters at 120 kg/264.5 lbs. He also took an Olympic redshirt during the 2011-12 school year.

Chamberlain downed two-time NCAA champion Kellen Russell 1-0, 2-0 in the second round at 66 kg/145.5 lbs. on Saturday.

The quarterfinals are set for 9 a.m. on Sunday at the University of Akron Field House. The finals are scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday.

The finalists at the seven Olympic weight classes will qualify for the 2012 University World Team Trials on Aug. 17-18 in Colorado Springs, Colo.
