Ladies didn't start great but I don't know enough about the women or the field to know if it's expected or not. I thought Turner didn't look herself but it is her first year u20 eligible so maybe I'm being harsh Irrationally proud former WPIAL wrestler No Scotland, No Party . . . Go Beavs
LJB Posted August 18 Posted August 18 still better performance than last year... 2024 was a banner year with 3 medals... 2023 doesn't count so much as jordan tried to kill all our athletes with food poisoning... did come away with one bronze awarded couple of years later after someone popped... greco is going to greco... 1

She went 1/3/1 at u17 so definitely credentialed. To me it wasn't that she lost but how she looked that raised an eyebrow; looked bad compared to what I've seen before but it could be the jump from u17 to u20 Irrationally proud former WPIAL wrestler No Scotland, No Party . . .
