Midlands Semi's Are Set
/With many young guys yet to claim higher stakes in the rankings, the 56th Annual Midlands has given a chance for many of them to shine in the Sears Centre in the Chicago suburbs.
Iowa leads and have been able to survive many close calls for the most part, including Marinelli in the quarterfinals.
Michigan has a rare presence at this event, as Alec Pantaleo after missing time with illness and a weigh cut debuted back at 149 storming his way through four wins. Several young Wolverines are also here with Mason Parris giving Hilger #8 (Wisconsin) his first loss of the season. Andrew Davison dropped a close quarterfinal to #6 Caywood (Army).
The Sunday session for the semifinals begins at 12:00 pm Central.
