After a tough 4-1 loss in the semifinals, Adams had a 4-1 lead and an advantage in riding time in the consolation semifinals but Quincy's Sabian Russell made a late comeback to escape with a 5-4 decision. 
 
Farmer's day at heavyweight started with a 7-1 win over Jay Thompson from Indianapolis. Farmer fell in the quarterfinals, but made a march back into contention with back-to-back pins in the consolation rounds. Kayden Garrett was pinned by Farmer in the third period and Thomas Massengale from Drury in the first period. Farmer lost a 11-3 decision in the consolation semi-finals but got a rematch with Central Oklahoma's Trent Strong in the fifth-place match. Strong pinned Farmer in the quarterfinals, but this time Farmer won a 5-2 decision. 
 
Matthew Velasco also placed for the Panthers as he finished sixth in his first Regional appearance.
