Wrestlers taking top prize in Rochester on Saturday, thus booking their trips to Lincoln, include Thomas Gilman at 57 kilograms, Jayson Ness at 61 kilograms, Mario Mason at 65 kilograms and Dylan Ness at 70 kilograms.
Gilman, a three-time NCAA All-American for Iowa and Junior World bronze medalist, won a relatively deep 57 kg field that featured four wrestlers who have earned NCAA All-American honors across the Division I and Division II levels.
In the 57-kilogram championship match, Gilman found himself down 6-0 early to two-time NCAA Div. II champion Daniel Deshazer. Gilman rallied with seven-straight points to end the match and take the victory, 7-6.
