At 149 pounds, Triston Lara rolled his way through the bracket with two falls and two major decisions. Derek Holschlag took third at the same weight, and Gable Fox won the consolations. All three of Fox's wins came by fall, totaling 3 minutes, 8 seconds. He was second at the tournament for most falls in the least amount of time.

Cayd Lara and John McConkey took fifth at 157 pounds and heavyweight, respectively. Michael Kordek took sixth at 184 pounds.

The 13 Panthers who competed notched 15 falls and two tech falls as a team.
