Where is Lehigh located?  I know at one time they were Ivy League.

I think so - because Orine or Ragusin could be able to get the third seed - Vito could be 4th or 5th - and have another match with Crookham!  Fix actually benefits by being ranked 2nd if thats how it plays out.  

Assuming Ragusin wins his final match at B1Gs (no guarantees the way that tournament is going!), I expect:

Crookham

Fix

Ragusin

Vito

I don't think Orin jumps Vito (but I've been wrong before!)

Top 4 here is pick-um, IMO.

Seeding at 125 is going to be a mess.  No telling where Stanich will end up.

OK, I just googled Lehigh.  Not Ivy League.

Mike Joyce seeded #10 in EIWA at 125 finished fourth for an automatic NCAA Tournament qualification . Mike is Brown’s first wrestler to qualify since the 2019 tournament when #26 seeded Ian Butterbrodt (BRWN) at 285 made it to the blood round, finishing in top 12. Brown still has a long way to go, but with an excellent incoming class, and a great coaching staff now installed, there will be more to come in the next few years.

Providence is nice town and nice to see the Bears on the rise!

I'm rooting for Jordan Leen & Co. to pull that program up.

And while we are at it - how about Zach Tanelli's Columbia team?!  90.5 team points, two champs, and finished tied with Penn for 4th.  Not too bad!

damn. hope he's ok by November. 

It didn't look good.  Cornella had to be helped off the floor, guys on either side helping, dragging the injured leg.  I've seen miracles before, but I wouldn't bet anything that he makes it to KC.  He's still in the brackets (annoyingly on Track, not Flo).

Not sure about Foca.  Maybe he could have continued in his final bout, but why risk it when he had a qualifying spot locked up and could only score one team point when the team title was already decided.  He didn't look much different from Hines, who injured a shoulder in the semis and looked to be in a lot of pain but managed to continue and completed the tournament; different situation, he didn't have a qualifying spot assured.

At least there will be an alternate at 141 if Cornella can't compete, so Coach Grey can't pull a full Suriano.

So we have Starocci, Griffith, and Cornella who are entered but have serious injury issues.  Anyone else?

Does anyone have copies of the EIWA books written by John J. Harmon and Jairus K. Hammond you'd be willing to sell? There were two editions. The first released in 1996 and the second in 2004: "The Easterns, 1905-1996: a Complete Record of the 92 Wrestling Tournaments Conducted By the Nation's Oldest Wrestling Organization, the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association" and "The Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association - the First 100 Years."
