    Radsky, who hails from Worthington, Ohio, earned a 1-0, 8-0 decision over Michael Orange of the Minnesota Storm before taking a 2-3, 4-0, 4-0 decision Matt Rein (Maverick Wrestling Club) to reach the semifinals. Radsky defeated Duaine Martin (U.S. Army) 1-0, 5-0 to advance to the finals, where he defeated James Rollins of Pin City 0-1, 5-3, 8-3.

    Alex's twin brother, Vitaly Radsky, competed in the 66 kg (145.5 pounds) bracket, but dropped a 4-2,6-0 decision to eventual bracket champion and Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament Dylan Ness (Minnesota Storm) in the first round. Radsky, the 141-pound Southern Conference runner up, then lost a close 0-2, 2-1, 1-0 decision to Nick Hucke in the consolation bracket.
