BONO WINS HIS FOURTH U.S. FREESTYLE NATIONAL TITLE

LAS VEGAS – Chris Bono claimed his third consec- utive U.S. Freestyle National Championship April 7, 2007, at the 2007 U.S. National Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Bono, who entered the tournament seeded fourth in the 145.5 pound division, has now won four overall U.S. Freestyle titles. He receives an automatic bid to the World Team Trials on June 9 and 10 in Las Vegas.

As a seeded wrestler, Bono did not have to go through the preliminary qualifying matches. He defeated Joe Johnston, 3-0, 1-1 and Zack Esposito, 1-1, 0-1, 3-1 to get to the semifi nals. In the semis, Bono got past top-seeded Jared Lawrence, 3-0, 0- 3, 1-0 before beating second-seeded Jared Frayer, 2-6, 3-1, 1-0 for the title.

The championship match came down to the third period which Bono won 1-0 after Frayer stepped out of bounds.

“Jared is a tough and dangerous wrestler,” Bono said. “This is the fi rst time I have ever beaten him. This is exciting because I’m out of the mini-tournament. I only have to wrestle two matches to be on the World Team. I’ll let those other guys beat each other up before they get to me.”
