FILA Juniors and US Open


Recommended Posts

Tsirtsis has already qualified for the FILA Junior WTT's by virtue of placing 3rd at Junior Freestyle last year.  By the way the FILA Junior WTT's will be at Franklin High School.

 

My personal hero and Tom Clark's long lost son, Eric Lopshire will be going for the rare double in both Greco and Freestyle, watch out for him to make some noise this weekend.

I'm really excited about Jr WTTs being held at Franklin.  I'm not privy to such things....how did an event like that move from Colorado Springs to Franklin?  I understand moving the event to a new venue but Franklin?  No disrespect at all just curious.

Y2,

I was talking about the tournament this week in Cleveland.  I thought that was the tournament Tsirtsis was talking about on his interview. 

2011 ASICS FILA Jr Nationals - Freestyle

Is this a different one than FILA Jr. WTT's?

He may be forgoing this weekend's tournament because just last weekend he was wrestling folkstyle.  I do not know if he meant he was participating this weekend or not.  He did state his goal was to make the FILA Junior World Team and since he is already qualified might have just thought about taking the weekend off to rest and heal from a tough weekend last week.

Yeah I agree, especially if he is wrestling in the scholastic duals next week.  132 is stacked this week with Logan Stieber, Ramos, dardanes (I think he won it last year) and many more college studs.

Tsirtsis is in the brackets.

 

His off season schedule is nuts.  Flonationals, Fila and Scholastic duals then Jr. WTT.  He is one wrestler that seeks out the best competition any chance he gets.  Good luck to him, hopefully can get to the semis to face Ramos from Iowa.

Just beat me to it Y2.

 

Great scramble in the first to save himself and got the lucky step out from it when the got back to neutral.

Tsirsis lost in 3 periods. 1-0 0-1 0-2  Couldn't get in on a solid TD against a tough Ramos.
