Boone RTC's Little Earns All-America Honor at U23 Nationals

GENEVA, Ohio — By placing eighth in the 65 kg division of the U23 Freestyle Nationals, App State's Jarvis Little became the seventh USA Wrestling All-American in the last four years from Boone RTC.

Little, who redshirted as a true freshman at App State during the 2024-25 season, won six of his first seven matches in Ohio and finished 6-3 in the event.

After going 4-1 on the opening day, Little reached the final 12 in his bracket with a 5-4 victory over Gable Porter from Virginia. Porter recorded a tying takedown with 12 seconds left in the final period, but Little broke the tie with a reversal two seconds later and stayed on top to finish the match.

Little then clinched All-America recognition and a top-eight finish by advancing over an opponent who had been disqualified from a quarterfinal match in the previous round.

Little won his first three matches in decisive fashion before dropping into the consolation bracket with a 7-2 loss. After clinching a top-eight finish, he dropped a 9-6 decision against Northern Iowa's Connor Thorpe to set up a match for seventh place against Noah Tolentino from Oregon State. Little jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but Tolentino rallied for a 5-4 victory.

Boone RTC had three wrestlers reach the final 24 in their brackets before being eliminated with a second loss: Colby McBride (57 kg), App State newcomer Joe Fongaro (65kg) and Joe Zovistoski (79kg).

McBride reached the Round of 16 with a 2-0 start before dropping his next two matches. Fongaro started 2-0 and was 4-1 before falling against Little, while Zovistoski followed an opening loss with five straight victories before finishing 5-2.

Kaden Keiser (four wins), Logan Eller (four wins), Bryson Terrell (two wins) and Anthony Conetta (two wins) all prevailed in Consolation Round 4 matches before being eliminated. Brayden Fahrbach, Alex Hopper and Stephan Monchery also won at least two matches.
