GENEVA, Ohio — Purdue's travel party of 11 wrestlers closed its trip to U23 Nationals on Sunday after notching 20 wins during the two-day event inside SPIRE Academy.
Competing in the double-elimination freestyle tournament, Stoney Buell, Brody Baumann and Ashton Jackson advanced to day two after securing multiple wins in the early rounds on Saturday.
Buell led the charge as the last Boilermaker standing, advancing all the way to the fifth-place match in the 74 kg division.
The team captain and soon-to-be redshirt senior from Dundee, Michigan, earned six wins on the national stage before finally bowing out on Sunday afternoon. His sixth-place podium finish earned him U23 All-America status.
Baumann also impressed with three wins, highlighted by a furious 10-0 technical fall in just eight seconds over Braidon Woodward (Buffalo).
Baumann's fellow 2025 NCAA qualifier, Hayden Filipovich, was off to a dominant start at 125 kg before suffering a leg injury that forced him to medically forfeit.
Filipovich had won two matches by a combined score of 16-2 and was leading his third-round match, 8-1, before taking an awkward fall. After a lengthy medical break, he opted to continue wrestling until another stumble made head coach Tony Ersland call for a medical forfeit to protect his starting heavyweight.
Jackson bounced back from an early 9-0 decision loss to win four straight in the consolation ladder. He ultimately tallied the second-most points of any Boilermaker (25) thanks to three tech falls and a 12-5 decision.
Redshirt sophomore Kade Law won his first two matches by a combined score of 13-1 in the 70 kg division. Additionally, underclassmen Dominic Burgett, Jacob Macatangay and Keagan Martin all picked up wins to contribute to Purdue's final team score of 136. UP NEXT Joey Blaze will wrestle at Final X on Saturday, June 14, to determine a true third place and the final spot on the USA Wrestling Senior National Team (74 kg). His match against five-time NCAA qualifier Jarrett Jacques will go down at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. RESULTS 57 kg | Ashton Jackson – 4-2
