And he did it on a gimped leg!  Was scheduled to have surgery, got the call he was in the tourn. due to a someone that dropped out (forgot the reason).  So he wrestled on a bad leg as the 33 seed. Obviously losing to the #1 seed immediately then to battle back through the con's for 8th place. Get's his AA medal, then proceed to his knee surgery.

wyatt sheets took 8th going into the tournament at 5-7 with an at large.
