Well how do I change that? Always looking to improve.

American folkstyle. My apologies. This is just for class too

I wrestled 5 years ago and now am finishing up school at Indiana University. One of my classes made us create a petition about something we care for and want changed. My idea was to change the style they wrestling in the Olympics from freestyle and greco wrestling to freestyle. I do not plan to create a movement to actually get this done, but if you believe in this then please sign it. We get extra credit if we reach 100 signatures so please spread the word and help a me out! Thanks, Robert Melby http://www.change.org/petitions/international-olympic-committee-change-the-form-of-wrestling-in-the-olympics-and-international-competitions-from-freestyle-and-greco-to-folkstyle-wrestling

He needs to focus on recruiting some of the Indiana boys. From memory he has 2 state champs on his team from Indiana one being his own flesh and blood. Others are quality wrestlers but if we cant recruit in our own state we will never compete. All the multi-state champs go elsewhere. Tshirts and Shresbury-Northwestern Cody Phillips- Minnesota Jared Brooks- Indiana tech(Would have been easy to get him if Justin was on the team) Devon Jackson, Ayersman, Welch Brothers,Eppert- Purdue

I refer to this as redshirting your freshman year

Jacob Cook lost in the ticket round all 4 years from Seeger

Reminded me of the Ayersman Campbell match of last year. Campbell got us early but wasnt able to close. My fav matches of each year

Ill never forget my freshman year at Merrillville when Dexter Larimore pinned almost everyone he wrestled in a tilt. At least most of the matches I remembered.... all of us know that tilt is not something you get pins out of but Dexter was so much stronger and greater that he was able too. Also the fact that I do not think he warmed up once for a match. He would sit down and pretend to stretch out his legs than go out get a first period pin. They do not build heavys like that anymore...

I dont think you need to be jacked to be a great wrestler. Technique is key, but you need to have enough strength to execute and not get over powered yourself.... Some other things you can do as someone said before is to do push-ups when you wake up and go to bed. Instead of doing 20 do as many as you can and keep a chart. Its nice to see your progression to keep you motivated. Another thing we did was plate work outs... grab a 25/35/45 pound weight and do different exercises with them.

I would have put 1. Wrestling (BIASED) 2. Rugby 3. MMA 4. Gymnastics 5. Swimming

Lentz a couple years ago was JV then was in the state finals the next year if memory was correct...

New Castle ppl can talk about it now!!!

Reread what i wrote, I said those are the guys that are running up. I also stated that James doesnt have Legit chance to win.

Also out of the 14 weight classes I think New Castle will have the most runner-ups as well New CAstle 113 James 126 Phillips 132 Mckinley 160 Johnson 182 Schaeffer HWT Bernard All with the exception of James and most likely Mckinley (cant count out a returning champ thou) have a legit chance to win....
