TN has 2 UWW Junior Nationals AA’s

Big shout out to both Cooper Flynn and Cody Chittum for both placing at UWW Junior Nationals this past weekend.  

Because it is for a spot of the Junior world team, UWW Juniors is 20U and it’s only 10 weight classes, the Junior Nationals is by far toughest tournament for any HS kid to compete in. These were big brackets and the vast majority of wrestlers competing were already in college. The level of competition this year was simply incredible.  
 

Cooper Flynn from Seymour, TN competed at 57kilo in freestyle and  ran an absolute gauntlet on his side of the bracket to finish 4th.  It was one of the most impressive runs I’ve ever seen.  
 

Cody Chittum of Cleveland completed at 67kilos in Greco and finished 5th.  Cody was coming off a leg injury sustained at TN State tournament and was only able to train for last 3 weeks, so his placement is impressive. 
 

Georgia had 3 High schoolers who AA too.  Matthew Singleton of Woodward Academy won 77kilos Greco and is on the  junior World Team going to Russia.  Matthew also placed 7th at 79kilos in freestyle.  
Caleb Henson of Woodland HS placed 5th at 70kilos.

Jaxson Smith also of Woodland placed 4th at 86kilos.
