In the opening round, Dylan Mikesell at 120 pounds, Nik Richard at 126, Dayton Brown at 132, Andrew Rodriguez at 182, and Brayden Tarr and Brady Armstrong at 205 all won, with all but Brown doing so by pin.  

In the second, Mikesell, Leighton LaFromboise at 126 pounds, Megan Anderson at girls 138, Blake Nordlinder at 138, Mike Richard at 152, and Armstrong all won by pin.
