  2. While Doyle has been in love with chasing any IHSAA related controversy lately, I’m not sure this matter would have the “teeth” for a worthy hit piece on them.
  3. I know that New York recently approved Freestyle as the girl's wrestling style in HS, which aligns with the women's college style. I'd say that could be a good guess for the murmurs.
  4. Not sure Y2 wants that legal situation. It maybe accessible (at least afterward) through some FloWrestling/TrackWrestling agreement though.
  5. Seymour holding steady at 8 young ladies, spread across 6 to 7 weight classes. One returning Sophomore state qualifier. The rest are Freshmen, with most of them having prior experience from middle school.
  6. See two posts above yours for more details.
  7. I was able to watch one of Henryville's Middle School meets last year. That group has some pretty sound fundamentals and was well coached. Some southern teams should definitely try to get them on the schedule if they have an opening. I'm looking forward to seeing the team's development as these young guys dive into the High School level.
  8. If I recall correctly the last few year the wrestle offs were streamed on social media from wrestling room.
  9. Is the JV State taking the place of the previous Fresh/Soph State? Or is it an additional event?
  10. He lived in Indiana at one time. Moved to North Dakota when brother went to school there. Sounds like he’s back in the Hoosier State again.
  11. I agree with most of the above but you have to also consider Olympic Redshirts will likely change some of the weight class field.
  12. The understood plan for a couple years now was he’d be at 141 for most of his career and the hope was Bouzakas could maintain 133. So I’m sure he was preparing to acclimate to 141 this season if the coaches weren’t planning on throwing a redshirt on him. I feel with the coaching instruction and room talent mendez will be competitive against the top guys at 141. But we will see as the season progresses if his coaches can help him figure out the strategy necessary to defeat them. With 3 of the other top 5 in the Big10, hopefully Jesse can get a match against them early (I hate the strategic ducking). Although we didn’t see it consistently in his freshman campaign (chalk some up to being a true freshman) I feel he’s decent at making solid adjustment for those rematches.
  13. Some of the top countries haven't always sent their main guys to the U23 competition in the past. I'd assume part of that has to do with those wrestlers also preparing for Senior-level events. Also, if I recall they dropped the event awhile in the early 2000s, so that may play a factor in some countries being slow to become interested in it again. The U20 even seems to have become a little more consistent with attracting the best young talent that their country feels could be on the cusp of making a Senior-level splash for the next Olympic cycle.
  14. Sorry for the late notice but I just saw that as part of the yearly Heartland Film Festival a showing of the movie Helen|Believe will be occuring on Sunday in the Indianapolis area. Sun, Oct 8th, 7:30 PM @ Glendale Landmark Theater 10 https://hiff2023.eventive.org/schedule/64ecb05903c8af007176004c "HELEN|BELIEVE" tracks Helen Maroulis, America's first female Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling (Rio '16), from being the best wrestler in the world into a series of concussions, forced retirement and institutionalization, through her PTSD struggles and eventually into her comeback at the Tokyo Olympics and World Championships in Oslo.
  15. Obviously Y2 has the official word but it’s almost always came out the last week of Oct. or the very start of Nov.
  16. You are correct. I beleive Kasten tends to go by just Chris now.
  17. I'm not in a spot to look over the brackets at the moment, but if the wrestlers that eliminated her make it to the finals she is still in and will have to wrestle back through the repachage. However, if that wrestler gets eliminated before the finals, then Kayla is out.
  18. And other of them could do it in this one too. So that’s 4 potential Indiana medalist for Team USA if everything falls into place. But why stop there, we can still throw in Micic with an outside shot by way of Serbia to make it a possible 5 for the Hoosier state.
  19. Murphy lost a close 2-2 match (freestlye) based on her opponent having the higher scoring move. Decent action early but Nieuwenhuis was always able to scramble to a leg and create a stalemate. Murphy has several almost scores that were called by the ref but got white paddles the other official. Nieuwenhuis did giving up two passivity point along the way to give Murphy the lead. Then with a minutes left in the match Nieuwenhuis scrambled to get the TD and earn the criteria win.
  20. If no one else associated with your team recorded it your best bet maybe to try to get in contact with the family of the other schools coach or your opponent. I can’t recall how laxed the arena was with fan recording devices but they would likely be the only ones that may have captured it. As mentioned by Maligned I don’t think anything but the finals was officially saved by the IHSAA.
  21. This is Pre-season so Im sure they are still figuring out weights. And these are usually heavily influenced by the recent Fargo showing. 106 - Rioux 8th 126 - Hockaday 6th 126 - Shepherd 19th 189 - Veazy 9th (guess IN get him for one more ranking) 220 - Clark 12th
  22. It wouldn’t be the first time the IHSAA has given a special waiver for certain sports opportunities, but you definitely need to make a very good case to them early if you hope they will consider granting one.
  23. If Brayton can get back close to 100% he would definitely be a solid AA threat this season. Hoping for the best here.
  24. Franklin had a really young squad last year, but some of them did preform well in a very tough sectional. Tonte definitely will be looking to build on that this year in a new sectional/regional.
