Pat Mineo tweet:

Coaches lost track of time while J'Den was running/cutting and the scales were closing up, grabbed him a minute too late.

He made it but it was ruled to be void (too late) after the fact.

Alisha Howk (River Falls) Rd 1 winner TF 13-2   53 kg WFS

[Harris]

Kylie Welker WRTC with a 12-2 tech fall.  Nice ankle pick!

[Harris]

Looks like Michaela Beck lost 2-3

[Harris]

Seth Gross vs. Joe Colon in the next round.  Joe Colon has had Seth's number if I recall correctly.  Colon has beat Gross 16-12, 11-5, and 21-15 in the last 3 matchups.  This should be a great match with lots of scoring.  Hope Gross can get over the hump.

Also Cox and his coaches filled a petition for a special wrestle off.

Gross lost 9-8.  I think he had the takedown at the end and he lost 4+1 points after the whistle blew.  That is a tough loss.  I really think he should have won that match.

That official was terrible. Screwed Gross twice!
