11:53am — Matt Tourdot closed out this year’s Senior Nationals with a victory by injury default over Kansas’ Kyle Caylor. His victory yesterday over New York’s Kyle Colling secured All-American honors for the second straight year. No Spartan has ever achieved high school All-American status before Tourdot and he has done it twice.
On the weekend, he was 5-2 and defeated the N0. 4 ranked wrestler in the country at 215 pounds in Colling. His two losses were very close–one came in overtime in the tiebreaker rounds and the other by two-points this morning. The kid he lost to by tiebreaker criteria in overtime is in the finals so Tourdot wrestled some tough competition and wrestled well.
