Michael Beard won via TF over Princeton's Stout, 15-0 @197... LEHIGH has 2 Midland champions.

... and JT Davis was ridden out by Penn's Urbas and lost 1-0.

Urbas gets 3rd.

Davis is 0-3 vs Urbas.

 Beard looked great.  Who won OW?

Dean Hamiti.

Dean Hamiti.

For his program’s sake I was hoping Hamiti stayed at 174. The weight is super shallow and he could make a third place match easily.

I think his ceiling at 165 is the 5th-8th range.

Congrats to Penn on the team title.  Good write up by Spey/Jaroslav Hasek (is he not registered here?) summarizing Midlands and Soldier Salute

Was there ever any word on why he bumped up earlier? Agree on his chances at 174. Was looking forward to seeing him vs. Kharchla up a weight in a few weeks.

Word after Collegiate Duals was that Kharch was done. Haven't heard anything since.

Hard to throw multiple events together with his body is banged up but not healing quick enough.  Sadly he’s at the point where it’s hard to get enough practices together to compete at the Big10 level and mentally that’s got to be draining too. I’m not going to prey to get any immediate knowledge but his body was telling him it was time to hang things up post college anyway.

Man that’s rough.

Hope he’s able to string together a couple of solid weeks at the end of the year.

I think his ceiling is 3rd. I don’t see him beating KOT or Carr and he clearly has had issues beating Amine but he could surely end up 3rd with the right draw.
