Mills and Norman are Double Champs in Juniors at SE Regions
Antonio Mills of Georgia and Max Norman of Tennessee pulled off a rare double title this weekend in Juniors. Several wrestlers won Greco, but were turned away in the Freestyle finals from a second title. Mills beat Axel Ritchie of Tennessee 8-0 in Greco and then downed another Tennessean in Jojo Uhorchuk 14-8 to claim the 120 lb. Junior Freestyle titles. Max Norman earned a superior decision over Mason Parsons for the 175 lb. Greco title on Saturday and followed it up with a 11-0 superior decision over Owen Wasley of Wisconsin for his second title.
Hunter Sturgill of Tennessee, Evan Wingrove of Georgia, and Willie Cox of Alabama each won Greco titles on Saturday and marched back to the finals in Freestyle, but came up just short of earning a double title. Sturgill lost to Alabama’s Daishun Powe 7-5 at 157 and Evan Wingrove lost to James Blacman of Virginia 18-7 … both of those were rematches of the Greco final (Sturgill beat Powe 3-2 and Wingrove beat Blacman 8-0). Willie Cox downed Nicholas Rodgers of North Carolina 10-2 in Greco, but came up just short (an 11-9 decision) to Tyson Russell of Tennessee in the Freestyle finals.
Georgia led the way with 4 Junior Freestyle Champs, Florida was 2nd with 3, Tennessee and Virginia had 2 each. On the Greco side, South Carolina and Georgia each had 3 Champs, Alabama had 2 with Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, and Illinois each claiming 1.
