With the Agony in Ames lineup just about set, the organizers have put together a monster matchup at 170lbs. It will be a Top-5 battle between Julian Ramirez and Emile "DJ' Shannon.

Ramirez, the third ranked 170 pounder in the country, wrestles for Blair Academy in New Jersey after starting his high school career in Florida. A Beast of the East champ, Fargo finalist and National Prep third placer, Ramirez is one of the most battle tested juniors in the nation.

Shannon is ranked No. 5 at 160 and wrestles for Christian Brothers College in Missouri. The Super 32 finalist has wins over the likes of Max Wohlabaugh and Mekhi Lewis, and will be looking to add a signature win to his resume entering his senior year. He was 48-0 this past season and won a state title at 160 in Missouri's largest division.
