With their top-two finishes, Bradley and Toal qualify for June's U.S. World Team Trials, held in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Bradley rolled to the semifinals with three easy wins, winning by decisions of 6-0/2-0, 1-0/2-0 and 1-0/3-0. Facing off with Tyrell Fortune (Cougar WC) in the semis, Bradley won the first period by a 6-1 score before being knocked off 1-0 in next round. He bounced back in the final period, topping Fortune by a 5-0 final to move on to the championship round. He took first place after Jeremy Johnson (Bobcat Wrestling) had to default due to injury.
Two of Toal's first three wins came via pin, as he opened with a win by fall over Will Delk (OCU Stars), pinning him 20 seconds into the second period. After a 2-1/1-1 decision in his next match, Toal then pinned Kyle Dooley (Illinois) 51 seconds into the match to move on to the quarterfinals. From there he was bumped to the consolation bracket after a 1-0/2-1 loss, but bounced back to win his next four matches, sending him to the true second-place match against Kyle Dake. Dake injury defaulted to Toal as he claimed second.
Hucke advanced all the way to the semifinals before being bumped to the consolation bracket, highlighted by a win by fall in his opening match. Losing the first period 6-0, Hucke bounced back and pinned Brandon Rader (West Virginia) 1:30 into the second period. He then rallied off wins of 3-0/4-0, 2-0/3-2 and 6-5/1-0 before falling by a 1-0/3-0 decision. He went up against Rader in his first consolation match, winning by a 1-2/8-1/5-1 decision and then toppled Mike Rowe (Team Jaguar), 4-3/0-2/4-1, for third place.
After winning his first three matches, including a win by fall in his second match, Farinella fell to the wrestlebacks after dropping a 4-0/3-0 decision to Rowe in the quarterfinals. After winning his first consolation match by a 6-0/4-6/4-3 decision, Farinella was bumped to the seventh place match after a 6-0/3-1 loss. However, he bounced back, toppling Samuel Schmitz (Team Missouri Select) by a 2-1/6-0 decision to capture seventh place.
