US OPEN SEEDS/Us Open thread

Peyton Robb lost to an 18 year old in the semi-finals at 72 KG.

Mind you, that 18 year old has a 45 year old father of the same name up at the next weight also in the finals tomorrow.

Good pedigree.

Jayden Raney wrestled U17s last year and he got a high seed (#3) because of his PIN rating from his success there.

I saw a lot of folks essentially *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*ting on him, because he was U17, and he outperformed his seed.  He is wrestling the smaller Koontz in the 55 KG finals.

Ronna Gross in the Bronze match, only losing to Winchester on the front side.

Edit:  She has been out two seasons and is just coming back.

Otto as well?!  Badass!

Two in the final...

Otto's spent about three or so minutes on the mat....

And as nhs mentioned Max gets Miranda... Good stuff...

Bey with no hair is still throwing dudes all over the mat....

Koontz / Raney final...

Great wrestling...

(Didn't read the second page before posting. If I repeated anyone, good post.)

I saw that high school junior Everest Leydecker is in the finals at 55kg.

I saw the semis between her and the veteran Areana Villaescusa which was won by Everest, 2-1 (what a first name!)

Areana had problems due to Everest's length (she IS tall & lanky) which ultimately was the difference when she got the TD.

Wow... there's some extraordinary talent in HS. Both girls & boys!

I have seen her wrestle before and she's just constantly improving. She has that Kendall Cross type build, and just makes it work for her.

Page says brackets released at 9:30 AM local time.

It is now 9:37 AM.

Sadface.

Brackets are out. How do you find mat assignments though?

Or cry through the beers...

Poking around, it looks like the Bout Board function or the Dashboard on USABracketing are probably going to be the best bets for mat assignments.

Raney wins by ff I think he may still be 17 pretty incredible.

[cowcards]

Wow. Koontz misses weight. Raney is your World Team member.

If Raney can wrestle 125 in college (I doubt it) he is going to be a freaking problem. I actually worry we may lose them to greco or at least they wont be all in for folk and free.

USA wrestling taking over bracketing and the bout board may have set wrestling back 10 years.

This is ridiculous.  Tournament is impossible to follow

You can add individuals to your list of wrestlers; at least then they'll be highlighted (in yellow) on the boutboard.

The Flo streams are waaay behind.  Caveat for those who are watching the boutboard then switching to the stream.
