Indiana Cadet Greco results: There was the good–excellent runs by Jared McKinley, Grant Anglemyer, Kirk Johnson, and 7th place finisher Sean Mappes. There was the bad–one total medal and really only 2 close calls. And there was the ugly–8 “0 fer 2 BBQs”. To be fair, Indiana isn’t known as a Greco powerhouse, so the results weren’t altogether surprising. Mappes, McKinley and Johnson all made their presence felt, winning a combined 14 matches against some pretty stout competition. Hopefully, a lot of these young men can use this valuable experience as a springboard for the coming season and next summer’s Fargo expedition. A hearty congratulations to Sean Mappes, for his fine placment in a stacked weight class.
