Tanner Farmer Falls Short of World Team at Final X

With a spot on Team USA at the World Championships on the line, Tanner Farmer fell short in a best-of-three series against one of the best Greco-Roman wrestlers in the country at any weight in Cohlton Schultz.

Wrestling at Final X: Stillwater, Farmer proved that he’s entered the conversation in this country as one of the best Greco heavyweights, but he’s still not on Schultz’s level yet.

In the first match, Farmer fell behind when Schultz kind of caught him lunging forward and put him in a front headlock before securing the takedown.

Farmer gave up a passivity point early in the second period, this having to start on bottom.
