Among the three finalists on the day for Wesleyan, Hayden Myers '27 was the lone champion as the junior remained unbeaten on the year, taking the 141-lb title. Coming in as the #2 seed, Myers topped Hunter Lundberg of RIC with a pin at 2:16 his first bout of the day. Myers followed with two dominant performances, winning a 18-7 major decision in the quarterfinals over Ryan Kozdra (Springfield) and a pin of the three-seed Tylor Stubbs (Williams) in 2:00 to advance to the final.

In the 125-lb bracket, the two-seed Chris Hong '27 made a run to the final as he landed a pair of major decision wins in the second round and quarterfinal. Facing a familiar foe in Alex Schaeublin (Trinity), Hong came from behind with a match-deciding takedown with 23 seconds left to land a 7-6 win.
