Zach "Tanny" Tanenbaum is up ... in the 2nd frame after 90 seconds, nothing ... Zach on top ... a turn but out-of-bounds ... no score ... Tanenbaum loses his second.

Zach is a great young man that comes from a great family ... look for his to rebound in Freestyle!

Taylor with the first frame tech ... 6-0!

Taylor wins the second ... 3-2!

Once again some technical difficulties took me off-line for a while! Yes, Taylor has looked phenominal to this point and Daniel had two chances to make the finals!

In his bout with Mark Grey, he lifted and threw him for 5! But couldn't manage to score in the next two periods.

Daniel is up ... Dap scores 3 on a toss ... 30 to go Dap on top ... and wins the period, 3-0!

Again Daniel scores 3 ... and 1 more ... 30 to go ... gains 1 more ... and finishes the period!

Daniel Deshazer is an All-American that Team Kansas can be proud of!!

Taylor has been stellar the past two days! His trapped arm gut has the Kansas coaches bragging.

Taylor scores a slick takedown, locks up his patented gut to score twice ... 5-0 ... Moeder is on top for the start of the final 30 seconds ... with 14 seconds left they are back on their feet but Taylor wins the frame ... 5-0!

Taylor tries an arm spin but gains the pushout and then scores another takedown ... 30 seconds left ... Taylor on top ... locks up the TAG for 2 ... and scores 3 as the foe tries a desperation throw!!

Taylor Moeder is an All-American and a National Champion!! He wrestled a fantastic tournament!! National Champ and Taylor Moeder will be forever linked!!

If you read those results closely, you will see that Taylor never lost a period and only had two-points scored against him! I don't care where you come from but that is a dominating performance!

What an awesome performance! Congratulations to Taylor Moeder, National Champion.

Great Job Taylor!!! What place does that equate to with the private school multiplier?!!!

And to all the Fargo Greco guys, great job, and Tear 'em up in freestyle.

Dylan Ness was named the Outstanding Wrestler, and his performance was certainly spectacular. However, on my ballot I voted for Taylor Moeder. The manner in which he dispatched his opponents was a marvel to behold, and definitely made him a legitimate candidate for the award.

Daniel Deshazer was a real warrior, battling injury but never using it as an excuse. The things that kept him from a national championship were small in nature, but when facing the caliber of opponents that come up here there is just no room for error. Still, Dapper should take considerable pride in the All-American status he earned while overcoming significant challenges.
