Semifinals (March 17 – 7 p.m.)
#1 David Carr (Iowa State) dec. #5 Quincy Monday (Princeton), 6-5 — The 2021 NCAA champion Carr overcame an early deficit and slapped together a tough ride to accumulate just under three minutes of riding time on his way to the one-point victory. After surrendering an early takedown and two-point nearfall, Carr clawed his way back with a reversal to narrow Monday’s lead and scored an escape and a takedown in the second before using the riding time point to win the match.
#2 Keegan O’Toole (Missouri) dec. #11 Cameron Amine (Michigan), 6-0 — The defending NCAA champion scored takedowns in the first and third period to go with a riding time point for a controlling shut-out semifinal victory, setting up a date with fellow Big 12 foe David Carr (Iowa State).
Quarterfinals (March 17 – 11 a.m.)
#1 David Carr (Iowa State) dec. #9 Shane Griffith (Stanford), 2-1 — A 1:35 riding time advantage provided the winning margin for the Cyclone in this battle of 2021 national champions. Carr nearly scored a takedown in the first before each man scored an escape in the second and third periods, but the Cyclone rode the Cardinal substantially longer.
#5 Quincy Monday (Princeton) dec. #29 Caleb Fish (Michigan State), 10-4. — The returning NCAA finalist at 157 a year ago had little trouble advancing to the semifinals, scoring two early takedowns and then holding the Spartan on his back for a four-point nearfall to widen the gap in the third period.
#11 Cam Amine (Michigan) dec. #3 Dean Hamiti (Wisconsin), 3-2 — The Wolverine, who beat the Badger in January, scored the winning takedown with 14 seconds left.
#2 Keegan O’Toole (Missouri) won by TF over #10 Carson Kharchla (Ohio State), 19-4 7:00. — Widening the gap from a 2-0 victory in last year’s NCAA quarterfinal between these same two wrestlers, O’Toole scored two takedowns in all three periods and added two sets of nearfall to become a three-time All-American for the Tigers.
