Ryan Ludwig from Northern Illinois.  I edited my post, I guess I was thinking before I typed.

I was watching the Stahl and McCauley match with a coach from Northern Illinois and talking to him about the seniors this year.  I told him to keep an eye on Stahl and after he pinned McCauley he said, and I quote "I like this kid!"  

Stahl battled in the first period and then in the second put him to his back with a lot of time on the clock and didn't let him off of his back.  That pool is BRUTAL and each win will get him closer to AAing.

Here is a picture of the pin

Yes he is, I did not see that.

We will  have two All-Americans in Cadet Freestyle.  Brendan Campbell and Jason Tsirtsis are in the top four in their respective pools.  They will wrestle tomorrow to see what place they go for in the morning, with the finals in the evening.

We have three cadets left, Mason Todd and Brenden Campbell with one loss and Jason Tsirtsis without a loss.

Mappes lost to Jordan Thomas of Michigan

Mappes and Neff have yet to wrestle.  Mappes is up in about 2 minutes.

I also uploaded some great pictures from the Junior Greco-Roman finals.  While Indiana did not have a wrestler wrestling, they did have a referee that reffed in the finals.  Louis Rosbottom reffed the 160lbs title match.

Session 2 pictures are up now too. 

Over 300 photos from session 1 today are being uploaded right now.

Here in the finals he was at it again!

I have been keeping my eye on him since he is going to Purdue next year and boy can this kid toss ANYONE!  He is extremely talented and his skills remind me of Darrion Caldwell. 

Smith and Stahl both lost close matches and have been eliminated.
