Come in as the top seed, perform like the top seed, go home with the title after a dominant day.

That's basically how thing went for Jimmy Kennedy as he completely dismantled the field and took home the 65kg title at the US Senior Nationals and Olympic Trials Qualifier. Kennedy shut out every single one of his opponents en route to the final where he gave up just two points to Logan Stieber. He started with a pair of 10-0 technical falls over Filip Novachkov and Josh Kindig then followed it up with decisions of 5-0 and 9-0 over Jason Chamberlain and Reece Humphrey, respectively, to set himself up with Stieber.

Stieber struck first, but after that it was Kennedy. The shinning moment of their final came when Kennedy cartwheeled his way out of giving up exposure points while picking up four points of his own. It blew the match wide open and allowed him to cruise to a 9-2 win after scoring the final three points of the match. Grinding out that impressive string of victories also earned him the Outstanding Wrestler Award.

It's that dominant performance that makes Kennedy our FloWrestler of the Week presented by Cliff Keen.




Other FloWrestler of the Week Nominees:

Nick Suriano, Bergen Catholic
Since dropping his finals match to Vitali Arujau at Journeymen, Suriano has been on a mission to destroy just about everything in his path and so far he's been accomplishing that. His goal of pure dominance has fueled him to new heights which have made him a four-time Beast of the East champion; an accomplishment that hasn't been done since Mark Grey in 2011.

Teshya Alo, TMWC
Not only did she qualify for the 2016 Olympic trials at 58kg, but she was just one of two high school wrestlers to do so. However, the amazing part was the fact that she defeated 2012 Olympian Kelsey Campbell, 8-1, in the final. Alo put up eight first-period points and road that advantage the rest of the way and only gave up one point in the final 20-seconds of the match.?
