Wow ... C.J. Napier is a National Champion! One more time in case you didn't hear me, C.J. Napier is a National Champion!!!

In the first, Paddock had the front head lock secured and was trying to run the corner. Napier did a great job staying square. Napier later countered Paddock to earn a takedown. Paddock gained his feet and worked for the escape. C.J. leads, 2-1.

In the second, Paddock opted down and again worked for the escape. The period ends, 2-2.

In the third, with about 1-minute C.J. earned the escape to go ahead 3-2. Both wrestlers were countering and shooting but C.J. was a bit too defensive for the satisfaction of the referee ... C.J. picked up a stall warning. Then, there was a re-start with 4 seconds to go and the ref awarded Paddock 1-point for Napier's stall as time expired.

Overtime! C.J. was in on his patented single leg and switched it off to a double leg ... he lifted ... he flared ... C.J. put Paddock on his butt then his back! C.J. earned the takedown and at least 2 for near fall!!!

C.J. Napier from Columbus, Kansas is your National Champ!!
