Wow, what a stacked finals…
Should tell us where everyone stands at the end of it.
USA wrestling should be in a good place in the future
Henkel with a 10-0 tech. Into the consi semis.
looks like Garcia still alive too, and into conis semis
If I count this up properly, here are their college commitments for the entire U20 finals:
Penn State: 7
Okie State: 2
Arizona State: 2
Nebraska: 2
Ohio State: 1
Stanford: 1
Bucknell: 1
Missouri: 1
Oregon State: 1
V-Tech: 1
Not Committed: 1
Another crazy stat is that Penn State, Iowa, and Rutgers, combine to have 35% of the U20 finalists!!
The answer is that these guys will qualify for an Olympic redshirt. Come on el Jefe, the latest cycle has them as qualifiers . I don't see any changes.
Then that means that Iowa and Rutgers have ........ none in the finals.
Of course not. This is modern wrestling, not 1994.
Will it even exist after Burroughs retires?
To bad Flo didn't cover Willie swinging on Corby and getting kicked out of the arena lol
He wrestled a couple of matches after the injury, so my SWAG is it can’t be too serious.
I just watched Duke vs Webster again and Duke wrestles a bit like Dake. Moves similar on the mat and is about impossible to score on. When he decides to attack he explodes and is super powerful. Not saying he’s as good as Dake just that his style is similar
But seriously, I see a consistent trend where PSU wrestlers and recruits show up for events like this, but Iowa athletes show up as an afterthought, if at all. I think it speaks to a different mentality and maybe different personal goals for the athletes.
It’s an Open- anyone can show up, they just don’t.
Kilkeary has looked really tough(based on results). Excited for the 57kg final.
Iowa doesn't show up if they know they are going to lose. It's a mindset.

Lilledahl is so good. His defense is incredible and he’s a high level finisher. This is a nice win. Kilkeary has had a good tournament and completely shut down Knox. He just dominated Kilkeary. That last td was beautiful!!
What a tournament. 6-0 with 6 techs. I didn’t think it was going to be that easy. 57kg was absolutely stacked and he just walked through it

Wow. There’s your 2025 NCAA 125 champ
Lilledahl is just a ridiculous hand fighter
