After receiving a bye in the first round, McLaimtaig pinned Ben Orth of Lakeside (2:33) and pinned Terran Manson of Central Valley (1:47) to reach the quarterfinals where he fell to Daeton Johnson of Chiawana via pin (0:20). 

Sandpoint’s Jorden Tyler (195) is also making his way through his respective consolation bracket in an attempt to grab a third place finish.

Out of the 68-team field, Mead (150.5) and Post Falls (137) are neck-and-neck at the top. Sandpoint sits in 46th (30) and Priest River at 50th (25).
