The rumor going around was that, the medal matches were run simultaneously so that they could get done earlier and setup for 6U and Elementary State the following day.

That makes sense. The only thing is they could have wrestled the consolation quarterfinals, consolation semis on four mats, and consolation finals on two mats, and then had time to break down for one mat for the finals. They would have gotten over at the same time. I know everything delayed because Lifetouch didn't show up early. They have their own issues.
