The Mason Dixon Quad (now Duals) is a long running rivalry between surrounding states with two of them being national powers, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is an honor to be selected for this event as there is not a large roster. It is the best of the best in youth wrestling.
Team Maryland was led by a slew of Kids’ All-Americans, including national triple crown winner Korbin Kiessling. A triple crown is earned by winning titles in Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman in the same season. Kiessling (72), along with Caleb Tsikerdanos (76), Esias Perez (92), and Nathan Matthis (115), posted 3-0 records to help lead Maryland to a second-place finish.
Perez was a 12U FS Champ at Kids’ Nationals. Matthis was second in FS in the 14U brackets and third in GR.
Maryland opened by throttling Pennsylvania (52-15), then suffered their only defeat to New Jersey (48-18), and followed that up by slaughtering Virginia in the final round, 91-0. The following wrestlers were 2-1 with their losses coming in the New Jersey match. Luke Briggs (67), Dylan Verceles (80), Logan Brickley (84), Logan Smith (88), Charles Cooper (96), Braidyn Taby (100), Giovanni Barone (105), and Blake Taylor (140). Jake Causey was also 2-1 but his loss came in the dual versus Pennylvania.
Brickley was a 12U FS and GR Champion at the Kids’ Nationals. Briggs was also in the 12U Division where he was fourth in FS and Sixth in GR. Verceles double up on hardware, too, but in the 14U slate with a fourth place finish in FS and a fifth place showing in GR.
Putting one win on their resumes were, Damian Manna (110), Dominique Herbert (120), and Jack Garland (160).
The girls did not fare as well, coming in third with losses in their first two matches against Pennsylvania (66-6) and New Jersey (50-23) before taking down Virginia (36-29).
Three wrestlers were 2-1, Jamison Wagner (51), Gabriella Gauthier (83), and Elana Pelaez (112). Going 1-2 were Paisley Grinder (57), Riley Heffner (68), and Grayson Richburg (120).
Two girls were 1-0, Leilani Lopez (136) and Yael Wexler (145).
