    Fargo Day 2: Cadet Greco semifinals set

    FARGO, N.D. -- The opening day of the Cadet National Greco-Roman competition in Fargo came to a conclusion with the championship semifinals and the consolation round of 12 pairings established. Wrestling on Monday will start at 9 a.m. CT with those rounds, with medal matches slated for 2 p.m.

    Both returning Cadet Greco-Roman champions, Austin Gomez (Illinois) and Beau Breske (Wisconsin), competing in this tournament advanced to the semifinals. They did so at 113 and 170 pounds respectively. Eight of the 12 Cadet Folkstyle champions competing in the Greco-Roman advanced to the semifinals, and remain eligible for a Triple Crown. Those wrestlers are in seven of the weight classes: Jason Holmes (Arizona) at 88 pounds, Ben Freeman (Michigan) at 113, Corey Shie (Ohio) and Jaden Enriquez (California) at 126, Devin Bahr (Wisconsin) at 132 pounds, Jacob Warner (Illinois) at 160, Breske at 170, and Keegan Moore (Minnesota) at 182.

    Two of the three FILA Cadet Greco-Roman world team members competing advanced to the semifinals, Holmes at 88 pounds and Drew West (Iowa) at 106. The evening's most notable upset came at 138 pounds, where Ethan Karsten (Missouri) upended FILA Cadet world team member Domenick Demas (Ohio) 20-10 in the quarterfinal round.

    Three particular semifinal matches stand out of note, as each places wrestlers ranked inside the top 30 overall in the Class of 2017. At 113 pounds it is No. 19 Ben Freeman vs. No. 26 Austin Gomez, next is the 126 pound matchup between No. 10 Austin O'Connor (Illinois) and No. 13 Jaden Enriquez, then finally at 138 pounds is a match between No. 16 Hunter Bolen (Virginia) and No. 28 Devin Bahr.

    In what should be absolutely zero surprise, wrestlers from Illinois are dominating this tournament. Thirteen Land of Lincoln natives are in the semifinals; that state was champions of the Cadet Duals in Greco-Roman earlier this month.
