Fargo - Day 3 Recap

Welcome to the Men’s tournament and we began the day in Junior Freestyle - easily the toughest tournament of the week. That’s not discounting any of the others - being a Fargo All American is a great accomplishment whether you are talking 16U, Greco, etc. but the fact is … Junior Men is another animal altogether. So maing Day 2 is an accomplishment of the tournament is an accomplishment - but tomorrow the rubber meets the road and as one coach said, “tomorrow things get real. If you want to be the best in the country, you must survive and advance Day 2.”

So let’s take a look at who survived Day 1 and where they sit as we head to day 2 in Junior Men. Given the time it takes to cover them all … those listed below are still on th championship side - plenty of others are still grinding through the backside.
