OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – It was a different day but the result was the same at the Junior Duals in Oklahoma City, Okla. as Illinois doubled up on national championships defeating Michigan for the second time this week 38-24 to win the freestyle national title. 

Michigan started off strong with big man Adam Coon and 100-pounder Ian Parker both securing technical falls, putting Michigan up early 8-0.

Illinois would then reel off four straight victories courtesy of Miguel Silva Jr., Michael Cullen, Tommy Pawelski and Jered Cortez to take over the lead 16-9 and they would not look back. 

Zac Hall and Jacob Schmitt provided a little hope for Michigan as they won back-to-back bouts at 132 lbs. and 138 lbs. respectively bringing the score closer at 17-15.

The nations top-ranked wrestler at 145 lbs. Bryce Brill was up next, and he had his hands full with Logan Massa in a high scoring match in the teens before Massa was forced to injury default due to an ankle injury. 

Brian Murphy, Xavier Montalvo, Davonte Mahomes and Ricky Robertson would seal the deal for Illinois as they won four of the last five contested bouts before forfeiting 220 lbs. to end the dual with a 38-24 victory.

Oklahoma capped an excellent tournament beating California 34-32 and earning a third place finish. Fifth place went to Iowa after they defeated Missouri 35-30. Minnesota picked up seventh place after a win over Washington 34-33.
