U17/U20 Nationals 4/24-28 in Las Vegas

[El-Jefe]

He is repping NLWC now where he had been claiming X-calibur Athletics until just recently. Not sure if his training environment has changed as well

And for clarity: X-Calibur is located at Wyoming Seminary.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Zak winded super hard, but got it done.

 

[dpd926]

What I meant by that, other than the snark -- and I should've been clearer about this:

IIRC the Trials qualification rules changed for the 2024 Olympics, adding past years of allowable credentials, due to the Covid fustercluck.

Will USA Wrestling keep a solution to a problem that no longer exists? Who knows.

But they need to do something about a format that had guys competing until nearly midnight, on the treadmill cutting weight past 1 am, and then having to weigh-in at 8 am. If that means reducing qualifiers, so be it. And that might trickle into Olympic Shirt rules.

Do you think that the TV broadcast schedule had any influence on the long days?

 

[zzs006]

Ryder gassing hard but he digs deep and gets the Td for a tech. He just teched a NCAA national qualifier. Not bad I’d say

 

[zubrus1]

Henckel had a good tournament as well. Just took 4th with a 10-9 loss to Lorenzo Norman. I’ve mentioned before but Norman is a freshman at Stanford and he beat Shane Griffith this year

Flo says Henckel won 11-10 at the buzzer

 

[PSUbluTX]

Mark Manning watching Mulvaney like a hawk.

That’s interesting.

But is he watching Corby (or blowing kisses to him)?

 

[zzs006]

My screen shows he won 11-10

Nice! I saw time run out and it was 10-9 so I assumed he lost. That’s a great win!

 

[El-Jefe]

Mark Manning watching Mulvaney like a hawk.

That’s interesting.

Very, since Mulvaney just finished his FR year at Bucknell and is not in the portal.

Vulture is more like it.

 

[LemonPie]

Of wrestlers over 160 pounds, nobody has done more with a 5’3” wingspan than Ryder. Kid is tough as nails and refuses to be average. He was cracking me up all tournament. How is this working?

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Odd loss for Sealy, didn't he beat Lockett before? What happened?

What happened is that Lockett is also very good. Lockett over Sealy is maybe a minor upset, if that.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Very, since Mulvaney just finished his FR year at Bucknell and is not in the portal.

Vulture is more like it.

Manning = dirtball

But he’s used to watching guys get beat by Penn State guys

 

[pish69]

Barr looks like the bad guy from Karate Kid. “Love the movie and can’t come up with his name. The one that bullied Danielson

 

[zzs006]

Sinclair is really really good. That drag for the first td was beautiful. He also beat Connor Mirasola last year. He’s headed to Mizzou next year

 

[PSU210]

Im not a “break pumper”. I see what my eyes tell me

I'm a break pumper until I see true freshman get out from bottom. That's my litmus test.

[El-Jefe]

Do you think that the TV broadcast schedule had any influence on the long days?

Without going back and looking at the broadcast schedule: I doubt it. Day 1 was primarily (if not exclusively) streamed on Peacock -- and therefore TV scheduling is no excuse.

The Day 2 schedule was goofy and maybe TV played a role there -- but that doesn't change the late end (including treadmill time) to Day 1.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Thought for sure Barr would improve his setups this past year and he really hasn’t. That’s gonna be a big problem if it doesn’t get fixed.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

I know it's been beaten to death but the Davison two have no offense.

 

[McScoreley]

Thought for sure Barr would improve his setups this past year and he really hasn’t. That’s gonna be a big problem if it doesn’t get fixed.

Had a feeling he wouldn’t beat Sinclair but he didn’t look like he belonged on the mat with a much younger kid

 

[GableBeer]

I know it's been beaten to death but the Davison two have no offense.

I don’t get the ragging on them. Sinclair is just that good. Facundo just had a hell of a tournament beating Haines in the process.

 

[zzs006]

That was impressive. Barr had a few good attacks but Sinclair turned all of them into his own points. I thought Sinclair would win but thought it would be super close

 

[El-Jefe]

Manning = dirtball

But he’s used to watching guys get beat by Penn State guys

Maybe he's looking for someone who can qualify for nationals at 174 without needing an at-large.

[Delcolion915]

Sinclair is freaking great. Yes, Josh lost this one. Learn and move along. One match. I'm not going to be to get down on Alex or Josh, they are both improving steadily and they are both ready to step up next season. Both 174 and 184 are going to be interesting next year and I think Mizzou might just be the guys to beat at both of those weights.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

I don’t get the ragging on them. Sinclair is just that good. Facundo just had a hell of a tournament beating Haines in the process.

I am not ragging on them, really. I know Sinclair is very good. Was hoping we'd see something different is all.

No ones touching Keck next year at 184, unless Carter moves into his weight.

 

[Delcolion915]

I saw something different. Aiden freaking Sinclair 😂. Jumping Jesus he is fantastic. Parker K will need all his guile and cache next year to get past him.

[CSauertiegPSU]

What a silly way for bigger Mirasola to lose. Gave McDanel all 4 points for the margin of victory.

 

[zzs006]

Duke and Lilledahl the OW’s for me. Both of those weights were stacked and they just killed everyone. Great wins from Lockett and Sinclair as well

 

[zzs006]

Did Lilledahl just get OW? That’s what it looked like but I couldn’t hear what the announcer said when he got the award

 

[tullfan68]

Thought for sure Barr would improve his setups this past year and he really hasn’t. That’s gonna be a big problem if it doesn’t get fixed.

yea he can't score 15 every maych!

 

[tullfan68]

match

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Must be ironBird flu season in Iowa.

They can poach all the 1-2 year mid-AA rentals they want right now. It won’t counteract Cael landing waves of better talent through good old effort on the recruiting trail. Who would have thought Cael could outdraw Telford and Morningstar

 

[RandyL]

Garcia lost in consi semis

 

[Pennstate1985]

They can poach all the 1-2 year mid-AA rentals they want right now. It won’t counteract Cael landing waves of better talent through good old effort on the recruiting trail. Who would have thought Cael could outdraw Telford and Morningstar

The simple truth in your post.

 

[McScoreley]

Last person to beat Aeodin Sinclair was Zack Ryder at Cadet Trials 2022, exactly 2 years ago basically. Kid is the complete package. Variety of attacks, beautiful counters, can ride (as Mirasola knows)

 

[PD4thespawn]

Slippery.........Kudos also to your high school typing teacher also!

I doubt Pete's typing teacher was also his wrestling coach.

[JOESTROSSER]

I saw something different. Aiden freaking Sinclair 😂. Jumping Jesus he is fantastic. Parker K will need all his guile and cache next year to get past him.

Not to nit pick, but I would think Sinclear would have to get past Keck. Tall task indeed.
