HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. – South Dakota State University wrestlers Henry Pohlmeyer and Tanner Sloan advanced to the second day of competition at the Ken Kraft Midlands Championships with strong showings Saturday at Sears Centre Arena.
The highest-seeded wrestler in the tournament for the Jackrabbits at No. 9, Pohlmeyer reached the quarterfinals with victories in each of his first two matches. The junior from Johnston, Iowa, opened with a 4-1 decision over Michigan's Ben Lamantia, then pulled out a 2-1 victory over No. 8 Alfred Bannister of Maryland in an overtime tiebreaker.
Pohlmeyer met top-seeded Matthew Kolodzik of Princeton in the evening session, but was sent to the consolation bracket with a 5-2 loss. Pohlmeyer is slated to wrestle No. 15 Shayne Oster of host Northwestern in action on Sunday.
Sloan, who was competing unattached, sent shockwaves through the tournament by knocking off three seeded wrestlers in a row to reach the semifinals. A true freshman from Alburnett, Iowa, Sloan pulled out a 5-4 victory over 10th-seeded Josh Hokit of Fresno State, followed by a 10-3 victory over seventh-seeded Brandon Whitman of North Carolina.
In the night session, Sloan trailed second-seeded and fourth-ranked Jacob Warner of Iowa by a 3-2 count after one period. Sloan then outscored Warner 12-0 in the second period with a reversal, three 2-point near-falls and a 4-point near-fall. He finished off Warner with another 4-point near-fall in the third period for a 19-3 technical fall.
Sloan will face sixth-seeded Lucas Davison of host Northwestern Sunday afternoon.
Junior Martin Mueller joined Sloan in the Round of 16 in the 197-pound division with a 4-3 decision over No. 8 Thomas Lane of Cal Poly.
Four other Jackrabbits competed in Saturday's evening session, but were later eliminated. At 157 pounds, Colten Carlson opened the day with back-to-back major decisions before falling to a pair of seeded wrestlers.
Zach Carlson turned in a 3-2 record at 184 pounds, winning twice by major decision and adding a 7-3 decision over 11th-seeded Anthony Mancini of Franklin & Marshall.
Logan Peterson at 165 pounds and heavyweight Blake Wolters each reeled off three consecutive wins after dropping their initial matches to seeded competitors. A senior, Peterson recorded a pair of wins in the waning seconds, while Wolters began a string of close victories with a 3-1 overtime decision over teammate Bowen McConville.
In the team standings, the Jackrabbits are tied for 24th with 17.5 points. Iowa leads the field with 114.5 points, followed by Northern Iowa with 76. Wisconsin (69), Northwestern (68.5) and Princeton (62) round out the top five.
Action Sunday begins at noon.
