Mason Parris, Sarah Hildebrandt and Kayla Miracle all make the U.S. Olympic team. Great job gentleman and ladies. A few other Indiana natives also has a solid showing at the Olympic trials.

Today.com contacted me and picked up my story. https://www.today.com/health/men-s-health/dad-mystery-brain-illness-rcna147984

After the state finals I thought they gave up on wrestling over there.

You are forgetting Mr. Stevan Micic and Ashton Mutawa who also qualified for the Olympics.

Lots and lots of boos for Burroughs, but he wrestled incredibly well and intelligently. Soundly beats Mesenbrink. Burroughs prods Mesenbrink and the crowd booed him lustily. It was chippy on both ends and Burroughs had a great strategy. These people are nuts if they think Burrtoughs won for any other reason than being a much better, complete wrestler than the very, very young and less experienced Mesenbrink. Pretty weak in my opinion. You don't boo Michael Jordan and you don't boo Jordan Burroughs, again in my humble opinion. Nolf all over upstart Jacques 9-2.

Mendez over McKenna 8-2

Big changes are coming to high school wrestling this season. Over the past ten years the collegiate folkstyle rules have become almost a different sport with out of bound stalling, what determines out of bounds, and this past year the three point takedown. While many were clamoring for the college out of bounds rules with only one supporting point determining being in bounds it was repeatedly shot down by the NFHS due to mat and gym size concerns. This year though, the NFHS has decided that it is time to implement the one supporting point criteria for high school wrestling. While making the wrestling area a little bigger this rule will make it easier for referees to focus on the action instead of checking for the proper amount of supporting points of the wrestlers. On top of that change the NFHS has approved the popular three-point takedown. This year at the NCAA level they went to a three-point takedown. Many people were cautious, but also excited about that big change. After the NCAA season concluded many felt that the three-point takedown was a huge success. If these two big changes aren’t enough for you, the NFHS has also aligned with the NCAA level with adding a four-point nearfall. After four seconds on your back the offensive wrestler will now be awarded four points instead of taking five seconds to earn only three points. This was implemented in the NCAA since 2015 and last year they updated the rule to allow two points for two seconds, three points for three seconds, and four points for four seconds or more. The NFHS will follow the NCAA and implement all three scenarios for nearfall. Other rule changes include a clarification of the Technical Fall criteria and not requiring a 10-foot circle on the wrestling mat. Here is the NFHS article on the changes https://www.nfhs.org/articles/participants-now-inbounds-with-one-point-of-contact-in-high-school-wrestling/ NFHS Article.pdf View full article

And a coach! Katie Kriebel is the assistant coach for the Senior Women's National Wrestling Team. She will be working with the team before the Olympics and in Paris. So proud of all these Forever Hoosiers!

I believe you are correct if Mendez continues tracking on his current path. 4X HS State Champ, NCAA Champ as a true sophomore & competed very well on the senior level at the latest Olympic Trials beating McKenna, Green & Diakomihalis then only losing to Retherford 3-2. Very impressive for someone who is only 20 or 21 years old.

I have Parris as the GOAT even if he doesn't medal (which would be a huge upset if he doesn't come home with a medal). 3x state champ, 1 loss in HS NCAA champ, Hodge winner Age group world champ Sr world medalist US Olympian Sarah Hildebrant is the women's GOAT without a doubt. But Parris is the overall GOAT at the moment. And I do suspect that Jesse Mendez's final resume will place him above Parris when its all said and done.

YES.

I'm stepping out until the evening session. It appears that Mendez' quarters match again Yianni is taking place this evening. Great job thus far by our Indiana men and women. Mendez, Lee, Parris, Hildebrandt and Miracle all still alive and working for the all-important Olympic berths. Carroll lost 1-1 to Cox and was absolutely in that match until the bitter end. Great showing by him and he is getting better and better all the time. Boyd, Carroll, Nate Jackson still alive in wrestlebacks. Great action and can't wait for tonight's all-star matches at every weight. Bye for now.

Cowan Tony Abbott has retired Casey Bradley is the new Head Coach

How many takedown records were done in this manner? If you are getting takedown records by teching kids in this manner it just means you wrestled a super weak schedule and your record doesn't mean anything.

Choosing down becomes much less relevant than ever before.

Bad Analogy. Just like your reasoning and most of your takes.

Wrestlers from all over will converge upon State College, Pennsylvania Friday and Saturday for one of 18 coveted spots on the Olympic team. Seven wrestlers with Indiana ties will look to call themselves Olympians after the dust settles on Saturday evening. Men's Freestyle At 65kg there are two entries from Indiana in Nick Lee and Jesse Mendez. Lee is coming in as the top seed, while Mendez is the 11th seed. This weight is not qualified for the Olympics yet, so the winner here will go to Turkey with hopes of getting a qualifying spot. Lee won the spot last year and wrestled at Worlds, but did not qualify the spot. He potentially see Penn State teammate Beau Bartlett or 2023 NCAA champ Andrew Alirez to make the best of three finals. Moving up to 97kg we will see Christian Carroll attempt to make the team. He qualified at the Last Chance Qualifier a couple weeks ago and slots in as the 9th seed. He will have Iowa's Anthony Cassioppi in the first round with the winner getting former Olympic medalist J'den Cox in the quarters. At heavyweight Mason Parris will sit out until the finals on Saturday. He will away the challenge tournament winner in a best of three series due to winning a bronze medal at last year's world championships. It will be very fitting to see Parris in Paris this summer. Women's Freestyle Three wrestlers will look to earn spots on the team in Women's Freestyle. All of the women's weights are qualified for the Olympics which means winning here will get you a trip to Paris. At 50kg the Queen of Granger Sarah Hildebrandt will be sitting out until Saturday's best of three finals. She has medaled multiple times on the world stage and looks to make her second Olympic team. Kayla Miracle will be in the best of three series at 62kg awaiting the winner of the challenge tournament. She was an Olympian in 2021 and qualified the weight again for the Olympics at the Pan Am qualifier. Lastly, Yorktown's Alara Boyd will look to earn a spot at 68kg. She comes in as the 5th seed in the challenge tournament. She has multiple world medals and will be a threat to make the best of three series against Amit Elor.

The only division that required a qualification was the Girls Showcase. Only other qualification is enough money to fly out to Vegas. These are UWW age groups which are based on 3 year increments in most circumstances and utilize the ever popular metric weight classes.

Health first man. Thanks again for all of the prior updates. Get well.

Wow, so sorry! Get well soon!

Dingo Brigade is putting out some really solid updates on this sites College and International board if you guys would like some more details.

Fix wins 5-1 over Suriano. Great sportsmanship between the 2 after the match. Spencer Lee nearly techs Megaludis in the first, leads 8-0 in the 2nd Kennedy Blades in a dogfight against Skylar Grote. 2-0 Blades leads in the 2nd period.

Mendez has Yanni next Carroll over Cassioppi.... has Cox next

Mendez over Green 6-3 Lee over Plantaleo 9-2

Since this new area is becoming a booming wrestling section of the state I have decided to take a visit to the Caprino @Y2CJ41 home on Sat for an "un-official" visit for a potential landing spot for a future hammer. Reporting no names but this kid has been previously Frepan/Seymour trained

Thanks guys. I very much appreciate the support I’ve gotten from the Brownsburg wrestling community, and the Central Indiana wrestling community as a whole. I’m firmly convinced that being involved in this great sport has been a key factor in my fight. “Once you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy.” -Dan Gable I don’t know about easy, but it definitely helped!

Gable Stevenson pretty solid Indiana born wrestler

With the implementation of the 3 point takedown, will all takedown records now be untouchable? Previously 15 takedowns was roughly a tech but now it would be done in 7-8 takedowns.

Absolutely love all the rule changes. Not as much grey area with new college ob rules and more points on the board. All sounds great to me!

Still believe it will end up being Mendez when he is done. He is building a Very strong resume and is really just getting started.

I heard Harding is making a comeback

You're allowed to be Wrong AJ its America after all

Stop hating... Cubs fandom is sacred!!!!

The Cubs Fandom is just tragic

Merrillville semi state bringing the Olympians

Thanks for the pic and the clarification. Good call, Valencia lost fair and square.

Alirez gets a passivity point, leads 5-4, Lee follows that up with 2. Leads 6-5 looks for a gut briefly. Gets a big 4 pointer, leads 10-5 briefly. Alrirez responds, 10-7. No lead is safe against this level of competition, but Lee is defending well.....10 seconds left. Late TD Alirez, but Lee wins 10-9, advances to the Challenge finals. Mendez trailing 3-2 but he's pushing the action, right around a minute left. Retherford holds him off 3-2, but Mendez is absolutely on anyone's level in the US

Page and Velte going at it. Page leads 6-4 in the 2nd period Lee up 13-4 but Zane Richards is a gritty guy. Still trying to score on Lee, wrestling aggressively, but to me Lee is looking pretty dangerous in the big picture, will get Fix or GIlman next. FInal 13-4

Mendez is on the verge of teching Yianni. I don't know what to say about Mendez that hasn't already been said. This was an incredible win...12-7. Youth will be served!

Mesenbrink get another TD, gets a deep gut, turns Lockett, leads 8-1 at the break. Burroughs just knows how to win, but credit Facundo with getting deep in on Burroughs' legs. He just can't complete the TD. Facundo with a stepout point, cuts it to 5-3 but only 9 seconds left. A TD would win it for Facundo...JB survives!, 5-3

18 year old Connor Mirasola up against McFadden at 86kg. Mendez with another TD, pouring it on, leads 8-2, Wins 8-2 Bartlett over Garrett in a changing of the guard match. Pantaleo wins 5-3 over Gross

Quick thought to me would be Micic, but my mind is a bit foggy from New Years celebration. #BringBackTheTights

I’d put Howe then Angel at number one and two if you do NCAA results only. Howe 2-1-3-2 Angel 3x big ten champ National champ and 4x AA, never placed lower than 5th at NCAA, world 5th. Micic was a world champ this year if we are including world level accomplishments
