Gross started off the day with a major decision and pin while he moved into the semifinals with a 6-0 decision over Tiffin's Richard Screptock. After a setback in the semifinals to Ohio State's Fritz Schierl, Gross would earn third place after a medical forfeit from Keegan Driscoll of Wheeling Jesuit. Sawyer Miller battled back from a loss in his opening match to rattle off five straight wins, including two major decisions, to earn fifth-place.
 
Matthew Miller kicked off his tournament with two pins and rebounded from a loss in the quarterfinals to pin his final three opponents to take fifth. Torres had two major decisions and a tech fall while he fell in the consolation semifinals, 6-5, to finish in eighth, while Watkins recorded two pins en route to a podium finish.
