Davis then lost to Northeastern Oklahoma’s Joe Gaither 16-6. Davis bounced back with two straight victories by decision. The first an 8-4 victory over Baker’s Zachary Balden and the second was a 10-3 victory over Missouri Valley’s Dakota Concepcion. In the consolation semifinals, Davis pulled off a sudden victory win over University of Missouri’s Dalton Voyles before dropping the third place match to University of Indianapolis’ Jordan Collins by major decision 17-5.

After receiving a bye in the first round of the 285-pound amateur bracket, Zach Kearney beat Maryville University’s Mickey Pelfrey by sudden victory in the second round. After falling to McKendree’s Chance Cooper by 3-2 decision in the third round, Kearney bounced back with two wins. The first was a 4-0 decision over Northeastern Oklahoma A&M’s Wess Bowman and the second was a pin of Missouri Baptist’s Devol Whitfield.
