Eight wrestlers made the trip to the USA Wrestling National Duals last week — four 14U athletes in Wesley Chapel, FL and four 16U athletes in Farmington, UT — all competing for Team Indiana. Henry Riesen (84 lbs), Kam Fuller (100 lbs), and Maddox Snyder (120 lbs) each brought home 14U Freestyle Gold, with Jackson Hendrix adding Greco Gold and Freestyle Blue at 155/175. On the 16U side, Wyatt Melchi, Malachi Thullner, and Jaxton Litchfield swept Greco and Freestyle Gold, while Graham Pyle earned Greco Gold and Freestyle Blue at 100 lbs. Proud of every one of these kids for representing Indiana on the national stage — they put in the work and it showed.
