2016 Finalists Returning To FloNationals
2016 FloNational finalists Jaret Lane, Ben Kamali, Trent Hidlay and Jelani Embree are returning to the 2017 FloNational tournament.

Among the myriad hammers contending for FloNationals belts this weekend, there are four returning finalists, including one defending champion, from last year who will be looking to make it back to the big stage at IUP's Kovalchick Complex in Indiana, Pennsylvania.
Eighteenth-ranked Jaret Lane (PA) is the tournament's lone returning champ this year and will be searching for another title to take home at 113. Lane, who just finished off his high school season with a state title, defeated Ben Kamali (MI) in the finals at 106 last year. Kamali, who is ranked No. 17 at 113, will be returning at 106 this year in hopes of snagging the title that got away from him in 2016.
Fellow runner-ups No. 3 Trent Hidlay (PA) and No. 4 Jelani Embree (MI) are back as well at 160 and 182, respectively. Hidlay suffered a loss to Oklahoma-bound California state champion Anthony Mantanona in the finals, and Embree was downed by Nino Bonaccorsi 6-3.
Also, Sammy Sasso, last year's champ at 138, has registered and will be wrestling at 145.
After last year's outings by these four, the expectations have to be high for them. Make sure to be on the lookout for these studs as they try to make it back to the finals once again this year.
Watch Kamali and Lane go head to head in last year's FloNational finals.
