They surpassed over 45 teams while eleven wrestlers placed in the top four of their individual weight classes. Daniel Varnado (108), Daniel Croy (115) and Patrick Evans (147) finished as tournament champions. Luke Cotton (122) finished in second place. In addition, Lane Boudreaux (128), Steven Shields (134), Ben Wisniewski (138) and Mack Brown (222) took third. Seth Alfonso (154), Paul Elmer (162) and Nathaniel Perdue (184) came up fourth.
