The lower half of Super 32 is done for the day, and the quarterfinals are set at 106, 113, 120, 126 and 132. Getting here wasn't easy for the top seeds: top-10 seeds lost 32 times across these five weights, and 12 are already eliminated. Here's every quarterfinal and how each bracket got there.
We're tracking every top-10 seed loss live, including the upper weights wrestling now: Super 32 Top Seeds Tracker.
106
Quarterfinals:
- #1 Luke Loren (CA) vs. #8 Ausome Guillermo (CA)
- #4 Cyrus Millage (IA) vs. #21 Max Lindquist (MO)
- #11 Derik Kiefer (GA) vs. #14 John Ross (NJ)
- #2 Nelson Villafane (PA) vs. #7 Marcarlo Mannello (NY)
How it got here: #3 Cam Bartlow lost 4-2 to Ross, and #5 Knox Ayala and #6 Johnathan Thompson were both pinned (by Lindquist and Kiefer). Bartlow and Thompson now meet in the blood round, so one top-six seed will leave without a medal.
113
Quarterfinals:
- #1 Kooper Deputy (PA) vs. #24 Branden Eisenhour (PA)
- #5 Michael Bernabe (CA) vs. #13 Jax Vang (CA)
- #3 Turner Ross (OK) vs. #6 Connor Maddox (IN)
- #7 Caleb Noble (IL) vs. #15 Nathan Schuman (PA)
How it got here: #4 Spencer Lee, the No. 1 wrestler on the first-ever 2030 Big Board, fell 5-4 to Vang. He's alive and meets #21 Max Berman in the blood round. #2 Niko Odiotti lost 4-3 to Schuman and then 13-1 to #9 Thomas Blewett, so he's out, along with #8 Oscar Gauna.
120
Quarterfinals:
- #1 Cam Sontz (NJ) vs. Gavin Lewis (IN)
- #4 Chase Karenbauer (PA) vs. #21 Liam McGettigan (FL)
- #3 Anthony Garza (CA) vs. #22 Lucas Copper (NH)
- #2 Lazarus McEwen (WA) vs. #10 Aiden Garcia (CA)
How it got here: The top four seeds all made it, but the next tier got hit hard. #5 Cooper Sandoval, #6 Daniel Brown, #8 Rocco Lombardo and #9 Izayiah Chavez are all eliminated. Lewis, the only unseeded quarterfinalist here, started his run by beating Lombardo in the Round of 128.
126
Quarterfinals:
- #1 Hayden Schwab (IA) vs. #8 Dominick Morrison (PA)
- #4 Miklo Hernandez (MN) vs. Nathan Reynolds (CA)
- #3 Mateo Gallegos (PA) vs. #6 Case Bell (IN)
- #2 Justin Farnsworth (PA) vs. #10 Kash Larkin (AZ)
How it got here: Mostly chalk. Seven top-10 seeds made the quarters. #5 Cael Floerchinger (beaten 2-1 by Reynolds) and #7 Preston Waughtel both went 0-2.
132
Quarterfinals:
- #1 Israel Borge (MO) vs. Aidan Yarussi (NJ)
- #13 Owen Marshall (WA) vs. #21 Reef Dillard (PA)
- #3 Paul Ruiz (CA) vs. #22 Aaron Meza (CA)
- #2 Slater Hicks (CA) vs. #7 Alex Marchetti (PA)
How it got here: Chaos from the start. #1 seed Paul Kenny scratched, and #4 Cooper Mathews, #6 Jaxon Lane, #8 Robert Ruscitti and #9 Shai Sabag all went 0-2. Dillard, who moved up from 138, knocked out #5 Angel Cejudo 9-7 in the Round of 16, and his #13 vs. #21 quarterfinal with Marshall guarantees a lower seed in the semis.
