Last year, Ohio left with two cadet freestyle titles and one of those guys—No. 4 at 120, Jordan Decatur—will return to this year’s tournament with eyes on a second title. 

The only other ranked cadet for Ohio will be No. 18, Lucas Byrd. Byrd will compete in both freestyle and Greco at 100 pounds, and is a serious force. He wrestled for Team Ohio at Junior Duals this year, and went an unblemished 16-0 with every win by either pin or technical fall. 

Both Decatur and Byrd will be prime contenders for titles. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see Byrd double up.

The women representing Ohio are highlighted by returning champ McKayla Campbell, who will be in the hunt for another title as she looks to lead the team at this year's tournament.

Remember, you can watch all eight days of Fargo action LIVE right here.
