The 2025 National Middle School Duals in Ohio once again delivered one of the most competitive youth wrestling environments in the country, and Missouri showed up ready for a challenge. Facing elite lineups from powerhouse states such as Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Illinois, and Ohio, Missouri wrestlers not only held their own but delivered standout performances on the national stage.
Below is a breakdown of Missouri’s top performers, each of whom added major wins, bonus points, and gritty efforts that continue to elevate Missouri’s national profile.
55 lbs – Finnegan Moehle (Team Central) | 7–0, 4 Bonus
Few wrestlers nationwide put together the kind of weekend that Finnegan “Finn” Moehle produced. Competing at 55 pounds, Moehle went undefeated at 7–0, with four bonus-point victories against elite-level opponents.
After the duals, Finn shared insight into his mindset on the mat, emphasizing his trust in the coaching staff. His performance firmly cemented him as one of the premier lightweights for Team Missouri.
75 lbs – Quentin Neal (Greater Heights) | 8–0, Gold Pool
At 75 pounds, Quentin “QuickStrike” Neal delivered a flawless 8–0 performance while competing in the Gold Pool, the toughest grouping in the tournament. Representing Greater Heights, Neal battled through ranked opponents and helped propel Team Revival to a 4th-place Gold Pool finish.
Neal’s consistency, pace, and toughness throughout the weekend demonstrated why he is considered one of the most fundamentally sound wrestlers in Missouri’s rising class.
70 lbs – Chasen Burke (Xtreme Trained) | 7–1, Gold Pool
Chasen Burke of Xtreme Trained put together one of the most talked-about runs of the weekend at 70 lbs. Burke finished 7–1, wrestling in the Gold Pool for Team Rebellion, which earned a 7th-place finish. The highlight of Burke’s weekend was his stunning upset over Jacob Graber, the Minnesota phenom who is a multi-time Trinity Award and Triple Crown winner on the national youth circuit.
That win alone would have been a career statement. Pair it with his full body of work, and Burke leaves Ohio as one of Missouri’s rising stars.
