INDIANA, Pa. -- On the campus of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, champions were crowned and medalists determined at the 2013 FloNationals. All but one of the champions were nationally ranked, including four inside the top five at their weight class. Nine of the fourteen weight class finals featured a pair of nationally ranked wrestlers.
Most notable of the championship bouts was a top five showdown at 120 pounds, where No. 4 Sam Krivus (Hempfield Area) upended No. 3 Darian Cruz (Bethlehem Catholic) 2-1 during the tiebreaker in a battle of Pennsylvania state champions.
