National Middle School Duals: CrushersWC wrestlers represented well

 This past weekend the CrushersWC sent 5 wrestlers out to Toledo to compete in the National Middle School Duals. This event is looked at as the top MS preseason event and a good place to see where the wrestlers fall within the top wrestlers across the country. 



Melvin Miller and Keegan Bassett both had great weekends and their team Dynasty was able to make it to the Gold Pool. Making the Gold pool is very important at these dual events, because it ensures you will wrestle the other top teams and usually the other top wrestlers at the weight class. Miller was able to go 7-0 and had some very impressive wins. His biggest win coming from a 4-2 decision over Evan Stanley of Illinois. Bassett was 6-1 and was in some wars throughout the weekend. His best win was over another PA State champion Jake Benyo 8-2. Two weekends ago, they met at West Penn, where Bassett barely won 2-0. 

CJ Pensiero was also on a team who was able to compete in the gold pool. CJ went 4-3 and had some tough matches all weekend long. CJ had a very impressive win over Jake Hughes and Gabe Logan from New Jersey. Eli Herring was on M2 and they were in the Silver Pool. Eli had a great weekend and went 5-3. Eli had two wars with other ranked wrestlers, he lost 3-1 in OT to Cason Craft of Georgia and 5-4 to Justin Farnsworth. His wins were against Ingham, Pratt, Manley, Hutt and Thier. 

Matteo Noronha had three huge pins for Team Gotcha. Noronha was 4-4 on the weekend and also wrestled in the Silver pool.
