Conley went 3-0 on the day, picking up falls in the quarterfinal and the finals to earn his title. For Rodgers he claimed a major and a 7-0 victory before deferring for the shared title alongside Lone, who had snagged a third-period tech fall and a second-period pin before that.

Cale Gray, one of the Greyhounds returning All-Americans tested the waters as well as he has struggled with injury in the early parts of the season. He did not look to have lost a step, scoring three falls on the way to his second-place finish.
 
Other wrestlers of note were Parker Lee who battled through the 133 bracket, eventually capturing third with a tech fall over Kyron Sank of Huntingdon. Gavin Garcia scored a pair of extra point victories at 141, as did Elijah Hinshaw who scored two falls on the day.
