I kind of wanted one of them to transfer for this year so they both could make a run for state. Two good young men who have bright futures. Thanks for sharing this story.

Our varsity 2 could have 3 or 4 state qualifiers. IMO

Cp v2 would have prob 4-6 or more that would have possibility of qualifying for state and placing that are all young underclassmen. Depth in the room is what makes programs really click and then when the bell rings they are ready to answer. I am sure Brownsburg has several as well. I don't think cp v2 has lost yet if not mistaken. They are really good! 
 
Programs like st paris Graham for years had freshman and sophomores not start and then win state titles Jr and sr years from developing with the upper classmen. 

My guess is CP would have about 5 state qualifiers through their JV  

I love it. It’s building up the sport of wrestling in Indiana. Kids who stay on JV have a chance to be a state champ and / or work towards something. 

Agree, any of them could win it. Will one of the top wrestlers from 138 go up or 150 go down prior to sectionals??

Who is a wrestler from Indiana who may have recorded the best individual year in state history? I have three potential candidates.

It's becoming the norm with really talented kids who don't need held back.. 

I love it too and totally agree. I noticed in Trackwrestling other states do this too.

No... on IndianaMat!

2022 it was 31 CP - 29 MC and 7-7 on matches .

I think this team would be a top 8 team. 

No, Mater Dei got 4th today. They pulled some Mater Dei magic from the old days and squeaked out a win. They battled Center Grove in a surprising close dual. They could go down to 2A if they really wanted to and win every year but that's not in their DNA.

well said.  so tired of seeing apparently a lonely dude using passive aggressive baiting techniques using innuendos to draw in attention upon themselves, then attacking others to get more attention.  yes that's directed toward you, the one that flaunts a military name but falls well short on the integrity of those that actual truly carry a military title.
