Finishing with 3-2 records for the day were Joe Johnston (Columbia, Mo./MWF) at 66 kg/145.5 lbs. and Trent Paulson (Ames, Iowa/Sunkist Kids) at 74 kg/163 lbs.
“I was pleased with Johnston's performance. With all due respect many people didn't give him a chance and he stepped up and got a few big wins. But the game ball goes to Varner. He dominated most of his matches but one time his back was against the wall against the Georgian and he got a suck-it-up takedown. It is what we're looking for. Jake's a winner and that's why he ran the field today,” said Jones.
