Kendon Kayser, fresh off of an All-American
6th-place finish in the USAW Cadet Men's Greco-Roman championships. has
advanced to the quarterfinals in the Cadet freestyle 138 pounds
competition. Kayser, after receiving a bye in the first round,
pinned New York's Steven Isaac in 1:08 and followed that with 10-0
technical falls over Marylland's Andrew Shiman and California's Joseph
Barnes. In the quarterfinals on Thursday Kayser will vie against Kameron Frame of Kansas. According to the Louisiana Wrestling Facebook page, this will be a repeat of a Cliff Keen semifinals match in which Frame won 10-8 by a takedown in the first overtime period.
