Brendon Parker-Risk cruised unscathed through the consolation bracket to take home third place honors in the 149-pound tournament, while fellow newcomer Tyquan Easton posted a sixth place showing in the 141-pound bracket. Timdarius Thurston gave the Braves six place-winners in the event as he concluded his stay in the 133-pound tournament with an eighth place laurel.
UNCP, which celebrated its best finish at the prestigious event, amassed 102-1/2 points to finish behind first place and fifth-ranked Newberry (169 points) and No. 10 Upper Iowa (133). Campbellsville, the fifth-ranked team in the latest NAIA national poll, finished fourth with 97 points and No. 7 Ashland rounded out the top five with 90-1/2 points.
Weakley improved to 9-0 on the season with his unblemished run through the event, but registered two wins over nationally-ranked individuals on Sunday with a 12-3 major decision over seventh-ranked Alex Johns of host Indianapolis in the semifinals, and then a tight 3-2 decision over fourth-ranked Trevor Franklin of Upper Iowa in the championship bout.
Williams punched his ticket to the championship match in the 157-pound bracket with a second period pin of Newberry’s Blake Ridenour, but dropped a tight 4-2 decision to Ohio Northern’s Luke Miller in the championship matchup. Nolan, likewise, earned his ticket to the 197-pound championship with a 5-3 decision over Trine’s Alex Fleet, but fell 3-1 in overtime in the title bout against Upper Iowa’s Carl Broghammer.
Parker-Risk needed a trio of victories on Sunday to earn his third place award, and did just that by defeating Ashland’s Daniel Genetin and Calumet St. Joseph’s Derek Allen by decision, while also advancing by virtue of injury default in his contest with Truman’s Colton Schmitz.
UNCP will take a 19-day hiatus from competition before resuming action on Jan. 8-9, 2011, at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals at Northern Iowa’s UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The pairings for the dual-style tournament have yet to be announced.
