Reed and Bradford advance to championship wrestling semifinals By Christopher Coombs Des Moines, IA - The No. 7-ranked Lindsey Wilson wrestling team sits in third place after day one of the NAIA Wrestling National Championships on Friday at the Jacobson Exhibition Center in Des Moines, IA. The Blue Raiders ended Friday with 56 total team points. Grand View (IA) leads the field with 137 points, followed by Mid-South Conference member Life (GA) with 56.5 points. Five Lindsey Wilson grapplers remain alive in their respective double-elimination brackets. Brandon Reed (seeded No. 1 at Heavyweight) and Brett Bradford (No. 2 at 165) both reached the championship semifinals. Brady Moser (No. 8 at 133), Latrell Davis (No. 6 at 149) and Mark Taijeron all suffered one loss and are wrestling in the consolation bracket. All five wrestlers will receive All-American honors for their performances at the championship as one of the final eight grapplers remaining in their respective weight brackets. Bradford won his three Friday matches to advance to the championship bracket semifinals of the 165-pound weight class. The No. 2 seed got his tournament started with a pinfall in three minutes and 39 seconds over Drew Sams of Graceland (Iowa) and then defeated Alejandro Garcia of Menlo (Calif.) on a demanding 11-0 major decision.
