You were suspended for using sauna suits not too long ago?
-
I’m pretty sure the so called sauna suits were “technically against the rules” even back in the 70’s when “everybody” was doing it. (Or so I was told at the time.) However, it was most generally overlooked kind of like driving a few miles over the speed limit. I think at least a lot of schools were openly handing them out as standard practice equipment. And I think they must have been recognized as being POTENTIALLY dangerous even then or they probably wouldn’t have already been “technically against the rules”. However, I think enforcement became more of a priority after some tragic events occurred (as has already been pointed out). Of course, those tragic events were brought on by some very severe and extreme abuses. Certainly, use of sauna suits can be potentially dangerous as are many rapid weight loss techniques. Sauna suits are against the rules and so should not be used. But if we are talking about potential risk and endangerment and not just about breaking rules, any method of losing large amount of weight rapidly through dehydration is fraught with equal risk. For certain, to be losing 10 pounds via dehydration in a week (or even weekly?) certainly isn’t healthy and can cause not only short term but long term health risks. So if we are castigating Carmel wrestling for breaking rules, okay. But if we are tsk-tsk-ing them for potentially endangering the wrestlers, I think perhaps a lot of people better be wary of their own glass houses.

Thank you, kind sir. The results are so much better if you know what you are doing than if you take a blind guess like me.

Good question. I would assume he must have lost a head-to-head with the 3rd seed????
-
Did I miss someone staying the team champions?
-
Indeed, team race will definitely be interesting. Looking forward to it.
-
Who won?
-
15 years old. Is she a Cathedral student or just someone who was asked to create a team song for them? Either way, I like it. I would think some other schools might be a bit envious. Certainly unique.
-
Wow! Waaaaay cool. 1. Who was doing the singing? 2. Who wrote the song?
-
And I believe Brown also lost to Wilkerson, which knocked him out of the rankings and helped put Wilkerson in.

Thank you to whomever posted.

Does anyone have any results from the Pendleton Heights vs Mt. Vernon dual from last night? (I had to work late.)

INDIVIDUAL SECTIONAL REGIONAL & SEMI·STATE CHAMPIONS?

Is the Anchent Elder still kicking and updating his book? My version of the book is a few years out of date now. -
Aha!

Anyway, I’ve been studying these over with great interest. Looking at the “State Experience” column indicates very clearly this was not the only criterium to place the wrestlers. Check. That makes sense. What I would like to know though is how these should best be interpreted, at least in the mind of the ranker(s). That is, is the intent to say the #1 ranked wrestler has the most distance between him and other senior wrestlers in his weight class in the state of Indiana? Or is this kind of an assessment of how high the wrestler would/should rank on a broader scale, say nationally, in the ranker(s) opinion? Or is this just intended to be a very very subjective ranking by the ranker(s) saying I/we think the #1 ranked kid is a “better wrestler” (whatever “better wrestler” means) than the #2 ranked kid who is a “better wrestler” than the #3 kid, etc.?
-
Thank you for putting together this rankings by class, uh, I mean grade. (Whew! I’m glad I noticed that or any discussion/feedback could have went the wrong way.)
-
I think it is called “schtick”. I believe is intended to add “color” to the website and make it more interesting. We’ve had other folks in the past take on different personas on here in the past for similar reasons. (The Region Rat comes to mind.). They certainly add color. Some folks find it interesting and think it makes it more enjoyable to read the posts. Others may find it a bit annoying. But love them or hate them, most of our “colorful” participants are avid wrestling fans and contribute a lot of information and add insight to the website.

Congratulations, James!

Best Collegiate Career
piscis1956 replied to Alduflux's topic in College and International Wrestling
I think Kelvin Jackson was from Anderson Highland rather than Anderson Madison Heights, but true that he was an NCAA champion while at Michigan St. -
Ha ha. Somebody edited my post. I wonder who that could have been.

So in 3A, 2 Region teams, 2 <Pound Sign>HendricksCountySmellsFunny teams, 3 Marion County teams, 2 southern Indiana teams, and Nortridge. The Ft.Wayne semi-state is very well represented in 2A! In total, I think 3 teams from southern Indiana and the rest north. I was a tad surprised there is only 1 southern team in 1A...I think.
-
It's something that I would probably watch and enjoy if it really happened. But I'd think it would be difficult to sustain such a league. Wasn't there a go at such a league several years ago that didn't last?
-
So if I look at our previous 28 3X State Champs and look for one who has a name of Chris, then ...
-
He received offers from several Division I schools (or whatever their called now ?) including at least a couple Big Ten schools. At least a couple offered for him to play both sports. But in the end, he apparently opted for wrestling.
