Out of six former Huskers competing at Senior Nationals, four of them punched their tickets to compete in the 2024 Olympic Trials in April.
At 57 kg, Liam Cronin enters the freestyle scene after earning All-American honors for the Huskers this past March. He quickly established himself as a real threat at 57 kg.
The 8-seed, Cronin started his tournament with a pin over Ben Kamali before falling to 2-seed Nico Megaludis (who eventually fell to Spencer Lee in the final) via 7-0 decision. Down in the consolation bracket, Cronin rattled off a pair of techs and a pin, including a 11-1 tech over former NCAA finalist Brandon Courtney, before downing 4-seed Daniel DeShazer 5-0 in the 3rd-place match.
