Among many other reasons, considering that Team Indiana Gold finished as runners-up at the Brute Scholastic Duals, I would say the state of Indiana wrestling is pretty decent. Jason Bryant is quoted as saying it was, by far, the best Indiana team he had ever seen. Guys like Atwood, Mosier, Wright, Quiroga and McMurray all went undefeated at the Duals. Check into their competition--they faced some of the very best wrestlers in the country. Duckworth majored and very nearly teched a New Jersey runner-up who New Jersians say gave Scott Winston his best match.
We have a reigning Cadet National champ (Wright), a Freshman Nationals champ (Roach), a Sophomore Nationals runner-up (Duckworth) and numerous placers in many prestigious national events. We have a reigning 7th place finisher (Lovejoy) who beat nationally ranked stud Shane Gentry.
Our depth is as good as it's been in recent memory: Wright, Eppert, Chalfant, Duckworth, McMurray, Porras, Napules, Harper, Sandefer, Shrewsbury, Atwood, Quiroga, Brooks, Hawkins, Tsirtsis, Dillon, March, Mosier, Runyan, Sims, Baker....all of these guys (and others) have had national success. There are literally too many good wrestlers to list. I can't recall a time quite like this in recent years.
There may not be a Howe, Tsirtsis or Escobedo (key words are 'may not'), but there are many, many national caliber wrestlers currently competing in our state who will be heard from after they graduate from high school.
