James Zimmerman was upset by the #3 seeded Micah Byler, but came back to defeat Jake Walmer and Mike Stover to earn his 3rd place medal.

Earning fourth place for the Mounts was a pair of wrestlers, one living up to their pre-match seed, the other finishing considerably better. Blake Crowther (160) was seeded fourth and had a tough go with #1 seed Julian Colon losing 0-10 early Saturday. Crowther came back with a tough 10-9 victory over Daniel Olan, before losing by fall to Tim Greiner in the 3rd place bout. Joel Yoder (171) was seeded 10th coming into the tournament.

Earning a 5th place showing was Zach Zimmerman who moved up even more places then Yoder. Zach finished 7 places higher then his 12th place pre-tournament seed. After upsetting the #5 and #4 seed on Friday, Zach got decked by #1 seeded Teal Stutzman, then lost a tough decision to Doug Weaver before deckign Josh Pavlik to earn the fifth place medal.
