I second that. Both made an amazing run.

No doubt him and Eli Stock are the ones you look back and think "I did not think he would be on top of the podium". Great job by both wrestlers!

I'm a little surprised I haven't seen a whole lot of props for Alec White. He battled his way through a nagging cut at Semi-State, and then ran through a pretty outstanding gauntlet at State. Quite a two-week effort. I know state is littered with storylines and tough runs, but he put a good one together (and yes, yes, the big boy match was tremendous entertaining too). 
 
He trains in #TheCounty, so come on. Just saying...

...and the guy is third ranked in the country (Flo & Intermat). You said it 'soooo close!' 

Don't confuse possibility with probability.
 

I agree with the others sentiments: academics over athletics, but that 'might not' be the best question. How strong academically is the first school compared to the second? Does the first school have other strong programs that are compatable/similar? How strong is the student's commitment to the degree program? Students change programs very frequently. Often they change to similar programs, but in other cases they move in a completely different direction. If your student has a 4.35 HS GPA and has always wanted to be a Physician that's one thing, but if he is a good solid student that over the years has given thought to multiple career paths maybe a specific degree program isn't the end all be all.
 
Not that you don't know this, but there is more to chosing a school than athletics or degree program (academic quality, the make up of the faculty, staff, & students, fit/feel, support services, facilities, location, size, etc.). If the schools are otherwise a toss up then, like someone said, it is a no brainer.

Nicely done gentleman. Three hundred plus wrestlers, lots of tough kids, solid officials, nice awards, and best of all out by 2P...can't beat it. Now if I could just get Miller's kid to quit pinning mine...
