Shrader, who is ranked 25th nationally by FloWrestling 29th by InterMat, posted an 8-5 victory over Anthony White of Rutgers in the third-place match. White is ranked 30th and 25th, respectively.
En route to his third-place finish, Shrader posted a 19-4 technical-fall victory over Michigan State's Braden Stauffenberg and a 4-3 win over Nick Stampoulos of Lock Haven.
