Hambleton avenged a 3-2 first-round loss to Mitch Gansen, dominating the Loras wrestler in the third-place rematch with a 17-2 technical fall. Hambleton’s path through the consolation side included a first-period pin over Simpson’s Cory Stratton and a 6-5 victory over second-seeded and returning all-American Nick LeClere of Coe.
