Fargo, N.D. - It was a near perfect tournament capped off by a perfect ending for Troy Nickerson (New York) 105 lbs. Nickerson only surrendered three points at the ASICS/Vaughan Cadet Greco-Roman Championships this year, but it was his 10-0 win over Jose Mendez (Michigan) that gave him a national title and led him to the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler Award.    "I just wanted to go out this weekend and try to prove I was one of the best," an excited Nickerson said after his match. "This is the biggest thing you can win, but to be able to do it and rarely be scored upon is something I can be proud of."    Nickerson was strong and quick against Mendez. He used a front headlock to score his first three points, but he never left par terre position as he racked up points quickly before the match was terminated.    "I try to dominate in my matches, but this was a tough kid. I just happened to get in par terre away and was able to take advantage of it," Nickerson said.    Nick Gallick (Arizona) and Dustin Schlatter (Ohio) were the only two champions to repeat this year.    Gallick held on for an 8-6 win over Joe Weygand (Pennsylvania) at 98 lbs. Gallick raced out to an 8-2 advantage in the second period before Weygand made a furious comeback. Weygand scored a takedown and two exposure points on a gut wrench, but did not have enough time to muster more offense.    Schlatter was able to secure a quick 7-0 lead in the first period before finishing with an 8-0 win over Tim McGoldrick (Pennsylvania) at 125 lbs. In the first period, Schlatter used a gut wrench and a trap-arm to tilt McGoldrick for the big lead, never looking back after the break.    Returning champion Chris Hogue (Pennsylvania) was defeated in his attempt to repeat as a national champion. Hogue lost 4-2 in overtime to Kurt Brenner (Pennsylvania) at 171 lbs. With the match tied at 2-2 in the extra session, Brenner was able to get in deep on Hogue and take him to his back almost immediately after the opening whistle, scoring two points and coming away with the win.    The evening started with Cory Fish (Washington) posting a 5-0 win over Mike Thorn (Minnesota). Holding on to a 3-0 lead late in the match, Fish secured his win with a takedown off an arm-spin and a tilt for his final points.    At 91 lbs., Henry Cejudo (Arizona) stayed on top in a wild bout with Tony Mustari (Colorado).    Mustari took a quick 4-0 lead after throwing Cejudo to his back and then scoring on a gut wrench. Cejudo fought back, though, scoring two points on a gut wrench and throwing Mustari with a front headlock to take a 7-4 lead at the break.    Mustari took the lead back after his second gut wrench in the second period earned him one exposure point, but Cejudo had the final word, throwing Mustari to his back once again on a front headlock to retake the lead - one he would not give up.    Jeff Schell (Pennsylvania) held on for a tough 6-5 win over Angel Escobedo (Indiana) at 119 lbs. Escobedo, trailing 6-0 in the second period, fought back with a front headlock throw and a gut wrench to cut the lead to 6-5 with 13 seconds remaining, but was unable to score in the final moments of the match.    Danny Grater (Kansas) captured the 140-lb. national title with a 4-1 win over Kyle Bounds (Washington). The win was special for Grater, who was 0-2 at this tournament last year.    Rocky Cozart (Florida) used a five-point throw in the first period to seal his 6-5 win over Brandon Mason (Iowa) at 145 lbs. Trailing 6-1 in the second period, Mason made a strong comeback, scoring two takedowns and two exposure points on a gut wrench to cut the lead to 6-5 with 24 seconds remaining, but Mason was unable to turn Cozart one more time, and the clock expired before he was able to finish a takedown attempt.    At 152 lbs., Nate Matousek (Minnesota) used a second period pin to defeat Shawn Brunson (Utah) for the national title. Matousek was able to earn the pin from the clinch, which was used at the start of the second period since neither wrestler scored in the first period.    Andy Lowther (Ohio) shut out Kyle Griffin (California) for the national title at 160 lbs. Lowther took a 4-0 lead in the first period off a takedown and two gut wrenches. Lowther put the match away in the second period with a takedown.    At 275 lbs., Dallon Norton (Utah) scored two takedowns and earned one exposure point on a gut wrench late in his 6-3 win over Bryan Whetstone (California).    In other championship bouts, Coleman Scott (Pennsylvania) scored two takedowns and two gut wrenches against Jake Gonzalez (Washington) for a 5-1 win at 112 lbs., Jason Johnstone (Ohio) dominated Shane Perkey (Indiana) in a 10-3 win at 130 lbs., Brent Metcalf (Michigan) won by a 10-0 technical superiority over Jimmy Matlock (Oklahoma) at 135 lbs., Phil Bomberger (Pennsylvania) pinned Brent Jones (Virginia) in just 17 seconds for the 189-lb. title and Jason Marshall (Ohio) won by a 10-0 technical superiority over Chris Kasten (Indiana) at 215 lbs.    Seth Flodeen of Minnesota won the Gorrarian Award for Most Falls in the Least Time. Flodeen pinned six opponents in 10 minutes, 53 seconds.
