Senior Nationals (US Olympic Trials Qualifier) - Dec. 15-17


SocraTease

Recommended Posts

Who's going?  Who's not? 

Committed wrestlers?  Rumors?

Van Ness and Kerk from Penn State both said they will be there.  

Spencer Lee and Nolf recently both qualified for Trials so I highly doubt they will go.

Early Registration deadline is Dec. 1.  Online registration deadline is Dec. 10.

No weight allowance.

The top five finishers per weight category at the 2023 Senior Nationals will earn a spot in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials. (Note: An athlete must place in top five. If one of the top five is already qualified, no additional athletes beyond the top five are added).

Starrocci seemed to indicate he is not going.  I'm sure the huge weight cut in the season plays a big role in that decision, and that makes sense.  He indicated he plans to win NCAAs, which would qualify him, and after he eviscerated Mekkhi Lewis, few would doubt his confidence.

I haven't seen a list of registrants anywhere and the event is less than 3 weeks away.

No persons who have qualified for Olympic Trials are allowed to enter this tournament.

Where have you seen this written? I don't think it is correct. Below is a quote from the USA wrestling website.  It clearly implies that those who have qualified for the trials can in fact compete:

"The top five finishers per weight category at the 2023 Senior Nationals will earn a spot in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials. (Note: An athlete must place in top five. If one of the top five is already qualified, no additional athletes beyond the top five are added)."

So you didn’t read that other important part about those already qualified? Or you just wanted to be a knucklehead?

I think guys can steal spots here.

I think it is Last Chance where they cannot enter if they are already qualified.

Anyone else super pissed and annoyed that you cannot see the registration list now?

They changed their website formatting the day before the Bill Farrell and it is for every event now - which is stupid.

After my Keuter prediction I am henceforth doubling down on all bad takes. No way I could ever be wrong.

I would be guessing that J'Den Cox will be at the US Nationals as he is not on the above list.

Cox is already in - anyone who made a world or olympic team 2018-2023 is qualified. I do know this to be factually correct.

I believe that YOU now have officially been proven to be a knucklehead because you are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.  Do you have any thoughts on the moon landing, the insurrection on the Capitol, or 9/11 that you might like to share? 81GiaDbZBwL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

Now I'm quadrupling down on how correct I am. This includes:

We landed on the moon. Jury is still out whether there are Decepticons hiding on the dark side of the moon and Pink Floyd didn't give any guidance in that department. And while Kubrick had some masterpieces, he also had some real stinkers. No way he would have filmed as well as what we got.

J6 they should all face criminal charges with actual consequences and that includes The Hamberdler but nothing will happen to him because that's the way the world really works. America was much closer to ripping apart that day than many seem to be able to acknowledge. Also, Hawley is a pussy. I really want to take his stupid fist and make him start hitting himself in the face with it until he cries uncle.

9/11 was awful. But like they say, dank memes melt steel beams. What do Pete Carroll and Aaron Rodgers know that they aren't telling the rest of us?

See, I'm not a knucklehead. I'm always right, even if I need to be updated on occasion.

This has me wondering.   What does Pete and Aaron know?

Hopefully they know if NLWC plans to sign up for Senior Nats because they ain't registered yet!

They always sign up late. And Casey Cunningham said in his pre-season email that they kept the first semester schedule light so that anyone who wanted to enter Sr. Nationals could do so.

Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

Ooooh someone just wants me to quintuple down on the gamesmanship coming out of Happy Valley. Well fine. I can keep going. At this rate I’ll exponential down on myself more times than Katie Ledecky has world medals.
