Session Five opened Saturday morning. Also known as "The medal Round", it determines who receives third through eighth place as All-American.
If you've heard Coach Jim Zalesky say - "it's all about wrestling on Saturday" ... that's what he's talking about. You are either in the finals Saturday evening or you received All-American honors in the morning.
Both Ronnie Bresser and Amar Dhesi had "survived" the brackets and made it to Saturday morning.
Dhesi had to wrestle first to determine whether he would wrestle for 3rd-4th or drop down to the 5th-6th place match.

This time it was a little closer, but Amar won by 3-1 decision. He would go for third.

Meanwhile, Ronnie Bresser's loss Friday evening put him into the 7th-8th place match. When Ronnie came to the mat Saturday morning, he discovered that his opponent, Zeke Moisey, had been injured and chose to withdraw by Medical Forfeit. Ronnie's tournament run was over. He would have his hand raised and go home with 7th place All-American honors. Congratulations!!

That left one more match - Amar Dhesi faced the number four seeded Jacob Kasper of Duke. Dhesi would need another upset to claim third place.
Dhesi didn't leave that question out there very long. He won by fall in 1:46! Congratulations! Amar Dhesi - Third Place All-American!
