'25 U17 Pan Am Championships, 6/19-22, thread

[Tom McAndrew]

The 2025 U17 Pan American Championships are coming up on June 19-22, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jayden James is on the USA team (71 Kg) -- I believe that's the only wrestler with a PSU connection on the team.

Please use this thread for pre-tournament, in-tournament, and post-tournament discussion about the competition.

Just a heads up -- I'm officiating most of Saturday, so I'm out for PBP or coverage of Jayden's FS competition.

I'm hopeful that @GregPickel and others can provide such coverage/information.

First result for Jayden James: 4-0(10-0) by VSU - 00:47 over Argentina.

He is in a 10-man bracket and his first match was one of two pigtail matches. Next, he gets the top seed, Gabriel Enrique VARGAS ALAIN, of Panama.

James is into the 71kg finals. He won both of his matches so far 10-0 a piece and needed just 1:12 combined to end both.
