Missouri wrestling redshirt junior Josh Edmond placed first at the U23 National Wrestling Championship Sunday. The championships were hosted in Geneva, Ohio, where Edmond wrestled with the Tiger Style Wrestling Club at 70kg.

The finals came down to a best-of-three between Edmond and Drew Roberts (Minnesota-RTC) on Sunday. Edmond took the first match with an 8-6 decision and only needed to win one more to claim the title. In their second and final match, Edmond was quick on his feet and secured the title with an 8-4 decision.

Dom [Bradley] told me to just have fun, get big, and just enjoy training instead of cutting weight. I agreed. I told him after the season I just wanted to compete. So that was the main thing just going into the tournament with the mindset of competing and getting better. Josh Edmond-Interview with USA Wrestling

Edmond was joined by Jarrett Stoner, who placed 5th in the U23 division at 125kg. Stoner lost his match to Crew Howard (NGEW) in the semifinals by technical fall at 5:54.

Mack Mauger (57kg), Seth Mendoza (61kg), Danny Heiser (24kg) and Aeoden Sinclair (86kg) all competed in the U20 World Team Trials over the weekend. Among the four young wrestlers, Sinclair was the only one to place in his weight class, finishing in second place. If Sinclair had won at 86kg, he would have qualified to compete at the U20 World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, from August 18-24.

Mizzou Quote of the Day

Missouri is a great place, I love Missouri. I am a home-grown boy. I grew up in Kansas City. I love Columbia, I came to a lot of football games when I was younger. There has been a lot of great leadership put into our facilities now and some may not have acknowledged that before. When we start winning football games and winning the SEC Championship game, I do believe the enrollment will go up.Drew Lock
