Matthew Ramos - Caleb Rathjen To Meet At NOC 3
Illinois' Matthew Ramos and Iowa's Caleb Rathjen will meet at Night of Conflict 3 inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
For the just the second time in event history, an Iowa high school freshman will make his debut at Night of Conflict.
Ankeny's Caleb Rathjen, the 14th-ranked 106-pounder in the country, is set to face Illinois standout Matthew Ramos at Night of Conflict 3 presented by Rudis on Oct. 13 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa.
Rathjen has put together a fantastic spring and summer, starting with winning the AAU state title earlier in the year, and has since gone on to place third at USA Wrestling Folkstyle Nationals and seventh at USA Wrestling Freestyle Nationals. He also competed for Team Iowa at the Cadet National Duals, going 6-0 in freestyle and 5-2 in Greco-Roman competition.
Hailing from Lockport, Illinois, the No. 5-ranked Ramos is coming off a summer in which he finished runner-up in both freestyle and Greco-Roman in Fargo. Additional accolades for Ramos include a fifth-place finish at the 2017 Illinois state tournament, fourth at the 2017 Cheesehead, and seventh at USA Wrestling's 2016 Preseason Nationals. In 2016, he was also the 2016 Conflict at Carver champion and a double All-American at Fargo.
This will be the third meeting between these two wrestlers since June. The first was during Greco-Roman competition at the Cadet National Dual tournament in York, Pennsylvania, which Ramos won 10-0. The two also met at Fargo in freestyle, where Ramos came out on top 10-7 in the quarterfinals. Watch the latter match below.
