Minnesota wins double titles at Cadet National Duals

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Host Minnesota proved that it’s more than a Greco-Roman wrestling state by doubling up and winning the freestyle competition at the 2010 Cadet National Duals on Saturday. Minnesota 1 defeated Illinois, 44-24, in the championship match in a rematch of last year’s freestyle final won by Illinois.

“Obviously, the Greco tradition in Minnesota is still alive and strong, but it’s amazing what Minnesota is doing in freestyle,” said Minnesota Cadet Director Jim Moulsoff. “These guys are the next generation. I have never seen so much depth. There’s maybe a point or point and a half difference between the top guy and the fourth guy. It’s that deep. It says a lot about the clubs, coaches, and the kids dedicating themselves to the sport in Minnesota.”
