Last month Bravo-Young was beaten soundly by Minnesota's Peyton Robb at the Junior National Duals in Greco-Roman. Both were entered at 113 pounds and on a collision to meet in the finals.
On Monday, Bravo-Young avenged that loss on the big stage. He topped Robb 8-6 to claim a Cadet National Greco-Roman title.
"I was excited," said Bravo-Young, who is ranked No. 17 in the sophomore grade rankings by InterMat. "I was feeling good. I just wanted to win."
Bravo-Young was the lone repeat champion in the Cadet National Greco-Roman competition.
Three wrestlers remain alive for a Cadet Triple Crown. Those wrestlers include Colorado's Mosha Schwartz (88), Oregon's Travis Wittlake (160) and Indiana's Andrew Davison (182).
Illinois won the team competition with 79 points. Kansas came in second with 53 points. Colorado (43), Minnesota (40) and Missouri (36) rounded out the top five.
The 17 champions came from 12 states. Colorado opened the finals with back-to-back champions, Schwartz (88) and Malik Heinselman (94), and added another champion Cohlton Schultz (220). Colorado was the lone state with three champions. Illinois, New Jersey and Florida each had two champions.
