Anthony Knox is attempting to become the first wrestler in Who's Number One history to win matches in four consecutive years. His three previous opponents were Luke Lilledahl, Christian Castillo, and Leo DeLuca.

Aaron Seidel is fresh off a Fargo title that included six techs in seven matches. He outscored his opponents 70-4 and notched a 10-0 first period tech in the finals. While both Seidel and Knox have outstanding freestyle credentials, they are even better at folkstyle. They both won titles at Super 32 last fall, and are both on pace to become four-time state champs.

Knox and Seidel are at the beginning stages of a rivalry that could continue at the NCAA level. Anthony Knox, the #4 ranked recruit in the class of 2025, is headed to Cornell while Seidel is ranked #7 in the class and plans to wrestle for Virginia Tech.
