Purdue making incremental progress. Still All-American drought continues. Loupachenki was last All American in 2013. Welch was close this year, but couldn't get through. Next year is the year. Lydy, Streck, Brunner Maybe? I like Strecks chances, lot of Seniors moving on. Indiana continues to disapoint.
Maybe a jump by Griffin Parriott? He was highly touted.

Interesting our studs won their frosh or soph year but didn’t win it again. I guess Imar and Heil is a perfect example of how tough it is to win it senior year.
It's amazing to me how hard it is to win even compete for a national championship. You have to be world class.
How many of these guys have made a world team/won a world medal?
Lee, Yianni, Micic, Zain, Hall, Zahid, Coon, Snyder. I'm sure more.

Fun tournament. Amazing careers for all timers IMAR (2x champ, 4x finalist), Zain (3x champ), and Snyder (3x champ, 4x finalist). Plus Coon, maybe in the discussion for one of the best to never win (2, 3, 2).
Plus the start of some exciting careers in a couple of true freshman world champs (Lee & Yianni). Can Gable do the same? Heavy opens up a bit with Snyder & Coon graduating.
Get one more year of Nolf and Bo both going for their 3rd (each would be a 4x finalist).

You are correct, but he didn't wrestle for MV, he was from Carrol.
But the topic was Wabash?

I got that info from a local article. I would assume that means highest placement for a wrestler from Mt Vernon high school
Riley Lefever was a 4x national champ

Not sure where to find it, but I thought Yianni's post-match comment was telling. In a nutshell, he said he saw where/how he could take Heil down, but saved it for later in the match when he might need it. Maybe I'm wrong, but to me that's next level wrestling for a true freshman, especially one in a tight match with a 2x defending National Champion.
Bet on the dudes who have multiple world titles/medals. Lee, Yianni, Hall, Zahid
plus add guys like Fix and Gable next year with success on the world stage.

The number of children playing team sports is falling, with experts blaming a parent-driven focus on elite travel clubs, specialization in one sport and pursuit of scholarships for hurting the country’s youth sports leagues.
“The system is now designed to meet the needs of the most talented kids,” said Mark Hyman, a professor of sports management at George Washington University and the author of several books on youth sports. “We no longer value participation. We value excellence.”
“The adults have won,” Hyman said. “If we wiped the slate clean and reinvented youth sports from scratch by putting the physical and emotional needs of kids first, how different would it look? Nothing would be recognizable.”
Amanda Visek, an exercise science professor at George Washington University, recently surveyed nearly 150 children about what they found fun about sports. (Her sample included kids who play travel and recreational sports.) The kids identified 81 factors contributing to their happiness.
Number 48: winning.
Also low on the list: playing in tournaments, cool uniforms and expensive equipment. High on the list: positive team dynamics, trying hard, positive coaching and learning. Whenever Visek presents her findings to win-hungry parents and coaches, there is a lot of pushback.
“They don’t want to believe it,” she said.
Yet the No. 1 reason why kids quit sports is that it’s no longer fun.

I would rather give teams an option (if mutually agreed) to replace one of the weights with another weight. For example, neither team has a 106 but both teams have an extra 145. They could slot those guys in and still let 14 kids wrestle.
-
Sign me up for these matchups:
125: Semis of Cruz-Suriano/Lee-Tomasello
133: Would love a Gross-Micic final
141: Yianni-Meredith rematch (would love to see a Lee upset)
165: IMAR vs Cenzo rematch
174: Hall vs Zahid rematch
285: Snyder vs Coon rematch
Mildly excited:
184: Nickal vs. Martin (I'm still interested in this rematch)
Not that excited about:
149: Zain (love watching him wrestle but no real challengers)
157: Healthy Nolf and then everyone else
197: although it could factor in team race

I’d almost guess Askren, a Wisconsin native, would put out a feeler but his lack of college coaching experience will shoot that down before it gets to serious talks.
Id hire that guy in a heartbeat if I'm Wisconsin. But thats just me and probably why I'm not a D1 Athletic Director.

It goes to show how top heavy the B1G was this year. Outside of OSU, PSU & Michigan there was only 1 champ (IMar) & 3 other finalists (Lezak, Carr & Sorensen).
Iowa & Minnesota each with only one finalist & no champs - WOW!
At least IU scored double digit points and beat one team
13. Indiana: 10
14. Michigan State: 9.5 -

After looking through the picks, the only ones effected at this moment is ones that selected Marinelli as he dropped a close one to Massa.
True but wish I had taken Nolf. Thought he would default out.

125 Lee 2
133 Micic 4
141 Lee 1
149 Zain 10
157 Kemerer 6
165 IMAR 7
174 Hall 8
184 Nickal 9
197 Moore 3
285 Snyder 5
Team Champ Ohio State
Team Score 125Does anyone not give the 10 to Zain? Obviously picks for 157 and Team Champ change with a healthy Nolf.
125, 141, and 165 are going to be fun. Plus Synder-Coon. Nickal-Martin. Hall-Jordan.

Fort Wayne has really been dominant in the smaller classes. Wawasee is the first team not from the FW Semi-state to win either class 1A or 2A.
They used to come to the FW SS. Not sure why Warsaw and Wawasee don't.

Beat me to it I was going to do last 16 years seeded as:
1. Winning Pct - shows domination in their weight class
2. Grade - gives advantage to more experienced wrestler
3. Number of state titles - advantage to wrestlers with continued dominance
4. Number of wins in a season
Here's what the 103/106 bracket looks like:
Go for it. I like yours better!
