He picked up a third win this season against Joe Pins of Wartburg in the finals. The top three seed finished 1-2-3 with Bryce Park of Coe slotting into the last qualifying slot.
The Upper Midwest was tightly contested. Matt Berlin, the #2 seed at the canceled 2020 championships, defeated Tyler Fleetwood of UW-Eau Claire in the finals for the second competition in a row, mirroring the WIAC finals with a second major decision. Zach Thompson moved up from the 4th seed to 3rd place to give Platteville a qualifier here.
Dalton Rohrbaugh defeated Josh Wilson in the Southeast final, a battle of DI transfers. Luke Kowalski came in 3rd for Gettysburg. His older brother Colin was the last NCAA qualifier for the Bullets. 8th seeded Gabriel Leo-Esparolini of JWU surprised with a 3rd place finish in the Northeast behind the ranked Kaiser of Roger Williams and Santiago of New England College.
See if you can figure out how these guys are supposed to be seeded. Arrows point from the winner to the loser of a match.
