DES MOINES, Iowa – 14 finals matchups have been determined, and two weight classes wrapped up early, in the 16U Boys division at the 2025 Air Force Special Warfare 16U and Junior Folkstyle Nationals after an eventful Saturday evening session at MidAmerican Energy Complex RecPlex, the new host venue of USA Wrestling’s premier folkstyle event.

 

Missouri standout Wyatt Dannegger remains alive in his quest for back-to-back 16U titles. He picked up two quick pins to start his run at 100 pounds but was pushed to a one-point decision by Illinois’ Colton Wyller in the semis. Dannegger, a double All-American in Fargo, N.D., last summer, is opposite AJ Woerpel of Wisconsin in tomorrow morning’s championship match.

 

Two 16U Boys weight classes were decided early. Missouri’s Max Lindquist was the lone entrant at 88 pounds, giving him the automatic victory. It was a different story at 113 pounds as Arkansas’ Lewis Davis and Iowa’s Hendrix Schwab met for the title as the Saturday session nightcap. Davis opened up a double-digit lead on Schwab and hung on for an electric 18-9 win to earn his stop sign award. The 133-pound final was wrestled on Saturday due to a scheduling conflict with one of the participants.

 

All 14 finals matchups, as well as complete semifinal and round-robin bracket results, in the 16U Boys division can be found below. Brackets and updated match-by-match results are available through USA Bracketing.

 

The 16U Boys tournament continues at 9 a.m. (CT) on Saturday with the championship finals and medal matches. Visit usawrestlingevents.com for a complete schedule of events for every division.
