Three Indiana wrestlers place in USA Junior Nationals

Indiana had three wrestlers place in the top eight of the freestyle competition at the USA Junior Nationals held this past week in Fargo, N.D.

The Hoosier contingent was led by Lawrence North graduate Reece Humphrey, who had already struck gold in the Greco-Roman competition. Humphrey again battled his way to the gold medal bout at 135 pounds, but this time he ran into a buzzsaw by the name of Mitch Mueller of Iowa and settled for the silver. Mueller won the match convincingly, 6-0.

Bloomington South senior Kurt Kinser was the second-highest Indiana finisher, landing fourth in the 152-pound class. Kinser fell in his final match, 10-0, to John Reader of Michigan.

Wes English of Merrillville rounded out the top finishers, claiming seventh place at 145 pounds with a 3-1 overtime victory over Marr Ballweg of Iowa.

The Cadet division for younger wrestlers was held earlier in the week, and it looks like Indiana wrestling has a bright future. Six Hoosiers placed in the top eight of their weight classes in that event.
