There are a couple of guys like Kharchla who appear to be injured and less than 100%.  So a dark horse by health, but not by skills.  Another is DeAugustino (who after placing fourth, is on the outside looking in for AA spots this year).

Whoever makes up the brackets always fails to include the some wrestlers are better at tournaments factor.  DeAugustino was seeded 10th last year and won 4th.

Upon looking on the PENN wrestling website and checking on the Roster history... it does show Zapf ('18-'19 season, his frosh yr) rostered @ 125/133.

I'm liking how Ventresca is wrestling lately after going through a mid season slump.  It'll be more clear after ACCs, but I'm picking him to win there and then make some noise at NCAAs.

ACC 125 should be quite interesting. My predictions:

Eddie Ventresca 

Jack Wagner
