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

It has 2002, but no 1976

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.

Make the Super Chargers Great Again

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

Finally a tall kid in the family!

Middle School State Champ DoubleB to Ft Wayne and @Y2CJ41 becomes his new Daddy

Joe's son, who is an avid Cubs fan happens to attend some club at Garrett, so I assume Double B would make his new home in the halls that sit on Houston Street..nothing wrong with that 

We will still claim them as Fort Wayne kids for statistical purposes.

We will still claim them as Fort Wayne kids for statistical purposes.

I've heard rumblings out of the South, but it would be inappropriate to speculate quite yet. 
 
The Transfer Portal is always very active this time of year!
 

The top tier(in somewhat order)
Pennsylvania
Ohio
California
New Jersey
Illinois
 
Second tier(not too much order)
Wisconsin
Michigan
Minnesota
Indiana
Oklahoma
Missouri
New York
Georgia(sneaking up there)
 
Look at NCAA qualifiers and All-Americans, Junior/16U/14U Duals results, Super 32 results, etc and you'll see most of these states in the mix. The second tier has good runs, then small lulls at times.
Recently Indiana has been better than Michigan, but over the course of 10-15 years Michigan is slightly ahead.

They just need to clarify what a "point of contact" is, instead of making it more complicated than brain surgery.
