Nationals update

March
27

I apologize for not putting results up yesterday, but they were moving slow. As of the 7:43 update, Andrew Lenzi of Fordham Prep is the only are wrestler remaining. Lenzi, who is wrestling in the sophomore Nationals, won his first three matches, but Colin Shober of Pennsylvania decisioned Lenzi, 7-2 in the semis. Lenzi will wrestle in the consolation semifinals.

Here is the rundown by class:

Freshman: Suffern’s Justin Artrip was the lone Section 1 rep. He opened with a win before a loss put him in the consolation bracket. Artrip won his first consi wrestleback, but dropped a 9-5 decision in his next match.

Sophomore: Besides Lenzi, Mahopac’s Justis Flamio won his first two matches on day one, then lost a close decision. Flamio won his first wrestleback earlier today before Patrick Prada of Maryland decisioned him, 5-0.

Junior: This boasted the largest Section 1 contingent. Edegmont’s Genta Murayama lost his first match, then ripped off three straight wins before a 13-7 loss to Maryland’s Andrew Bannister. … Fox Lane’s Joey Grippi won his opening match Wednesday, but lost his second. Grippi decisioned Jared Messina of Section 6-Cheektowaga in his first wrestlbeack match, but lost 5-0 to Monroe-Woodbury’s Jamie Franco, a 2008 NY state Division I champ. … Ardsley’s Danny Manley won and then lost his first-day matches. Manley rebounded to take his first wrestleback only to drop a 12-4 verdict to Virginia’s Jared Anogos. … Ardsley’s Derrick Longo won his first two matches, then lost his next two, including a 5-4 decision to New York’s Nathan Skiba. … Fox Lane’s Luke Speno ripped his way to three straight wins on Wednesday, but lost in the quarters to NY state Division I 145-pound champion John Greisheimer of Section 8. Florida’s Kendrick Sanders then elminated Speno, 6-4. … Ossining’s James Brundage, who finished fifth in the sophomore Nationals last year, opened with two wins Wednesday but lost his third match. Brundage returned and won his first two wrestlebacks, but Ohio’s J.T. Rice scored a 3-1 win, ending Brundage’s quest for a second straight all-America finish. … Westlake’s Will Carter took his first match, then lost his next two.

Senior: The Senior Nationals begin Friday with Yorktown’s Mike Ahearn and Mahopac’s Dominick Oddo representing Section 1.
