I just re-checked HR, where I first saw it, and their team of lip readers thought he said done.

Not unless Lee changes his mind. Apparently he said "I'm done" after the semi. I assume that refers to today only.

Which is a shame. The best chicken fingers in the world (you heard me) can be found in Schaumburg. Village Tavern & Grill

So they can eat in Schaumburg.

Fantastic

I wonder how much the extra year(s) factors into some of these individual situations. RBY expected to be done by now, Diakomihalis and Lee figured to be done two years ago, but they are all still in college, and Starocci has said he won't wrestle the fifth year even though he would have a chance to do something unprecedented. I think the mental fatigue is real when you are still doing something you thought you would be done with long ago. I know of one wrestler who planned on only wrestling four years and was going to take a pass last year, but was talked into returning for year five. It looks like the opposite is true for Grant Willits. He has a year of eligibility left, and would have been the highest returning placer to what is considered a weak weight, but he took a pass.

Spencer Lee does have an outside shot at catching Logan Steiber for highest total points in the last 10 years. But, he needs needs his best tournament yet to catch him. He trails Stieber by 27.5 having scored 27, 24.5, and 24.5 in his three tournaments. If he has his average tournament (25.3 points) he will be in second on that list. All time Lee is seventh on the most points per tournament list behind Sanderson, Hodge, Gable Stieber, Wayne Martin, and Banach.

Carter and Lewis spent a lot of time in the consolation brackets so they got a lot of matches - 25 each.

Larry Bielenberg edges out Dan Hodge 22.5 to 22.

If I filter for anyone who finished their career in the past ten years and anyone who will finish their career this year (2011 - 2023), Spencer Lee ranks 11th in total bonus points. If he has an average year he will move up to fifth.

I decided to fold in the bonus point data so now I have total points projections using Intermat individual rankings: Top 25

I absolutely did. Just don't ask the grade.

And then find out they need to drive to Hoffman Estates.

This would make dual scoring much closer to tournament scoring. You could win a dual with just a few dominant wrestlers. Some may have a problem with that less for tradition reasons and more for "upsets are fun" reasons.

Though my all-time favorite bracket is still 115 lbs in 1929. Dell Shockley of Oklahoma State went 0-2 to finish third. Of course, it was a three man bracket. He got a bye to the final where he lost. He then lost in the true second place match. Dell Shockley does not appear again at the NCAA tournament. Even though he and I have won the same number of NCAA tournament matches, he is forever an All-American and I am forever not.

And I find it endlessly entertaining that Earl McCready only had to win 8 matches to win 3 titles.

There were so many scoring rule changes that it is indeed difficult to do without context.

It is not too much trouble, especially since you asked so nicely. Top 10 By Total Bonus Points Scored: Top 10 By Bonus Points Per Year: Top 10 By Bonus Points Per Match:

We need a Vak Attack.

Ahh. I missed that it is the institution clause. Here is the student athlete clause. As you suspected, it mirrors the instituion language: 17.28.5.2 Maximum Limitations -- Student-Athlete. An individual student-athlete may participate in each academic year in not more than 16 dates of competition in men's wrestling, which may include not more than two occasions in which a multiple-day event or two consecutive dual meets are held within three consecutive days that shall each count as a single date of competition (see Bylaw 17.28.5.1.1). This limitation includes those dates of competition in which the student represents the institution in accordance with Bylaw 17.02.8, including competition as a member of the varsity, junior varsity or freshman team of the institution. (Revised: 1/10/91 effective 8/1/91, 1/10/95 effective 8/1/95, 1/14/97 effective 8/1/97, 1/14/08 effective 8/1/08, 5/1/19 effective 8/1/19, 6/23/20 effective 8/1/20)

I found this. too. Based on this it looks like the Collegiate Duals are considered a single date of competition. 17.28.5.1.1 Multiple-Day Competition and Dual Meets Within Three Consecutive Days. On not more than two occasions, an institution may count a multiple-day competition or two consecutive dual meets as one date of competition, if the following requirements are met: (Adopted: 6/20/11, Revised: 5/1/19 effective 8/1/19) (a) The multiple-day competition or two consecutive dual meets occur within three consecutive days; and (b) The institution participates in not more than one multiple-day event or not more than two dual meets during the three consecutive days. Rules written in a way only a lawyer could love.

You misspelled Burwikk.

A little Trivia In 2013 Northwestern scored 32.5 team points without scoring a single bonus point. That is the highest team score with zero bonus points in my sample. From 2017 - 2022 no team with zero bonus points scored double digit team points. 2017 PSU edges 2018 Iowa 32.5 to 30.5 for most bonus points in the period. PSU had 5 MD, 9 1.5 TF, and 7 Pinfalls. Iowa had 6 MD, 3 1.5 TF, and 10 Pinfalls.
