Time for the Hokies to make some noise! I'm particularly interested in seeing how Andy Smith, Caleb Henson, and TJ Stewart do. Henson and Stewart look primed to be the future stars of the wrestling program. Andy Smith is someone that has had reasonable success in freestyle even though he hasn't locked down a spot in the folkstyle lineup.
Latona down 4-3 at break
Latona finishes a single leg. Up 5-4
Sam loses 7-5. Got pushed out and he's back got exposed for 2

Flynn picks up 4 on a double leg and back exposure. Then goes snatch single and leg lace for another 4 then a go behind for a 10-0 tech fall
Henson in hole mat 3
Henson with a push out and go behind. Up 3-0
Henson with a takedown into back exposure. He wins 11-0

Sorry for the break. Walz Flynn Fisher and Catka are in the semis. Henson Stewart Latona Ulrey and Smith are in consolations
Fisher is into the finals. Latona and Henson are out
What a run by Fisher! Let's hope he finishes it off with a W tonight. Hokies still with a bunch of guys looking to medal and Ty Walz qualified for World Team Trials.
Also McFadden made the finals. He will face Vincenzo.
Sam Fisher did the damn thing! He wins 7-2 in the finals over a wolfpuppy🤘😁
What an incredible run for Fisher!
Ty Walz finished 3rd by defeating Demetrius Thomas.
Andy Smith got revenge to finish 5th.
David McFadden took home Gold!
