There’s always exceptions in both directions - so I feel the hometown distinction BY THE ATHLETE will balance out - for every Bartlett, there’s a counter so it’ll all be a wash in the long run anyway.

i’ve lived in my current house longer than any other place. I’m a Minnesota resident but I will always claim Virginia as where I’m from.

And I don’t think there’s a solution that can be easily deduced. Unless my time gets paid for to go year by year, athlete by athlete - and even then, that decision can come under added scrutiny.

I take what the athlete lists as their hometown on their school bio. I can also do “by high school state” … that could sway more to PA (Sem) and NJ (Blair) given they are boarding schools that have a lot of out-of-state students.

HS state is trickier in the cases where wrestlers transfer across state lines - i’ve typically used the last place they wrestled (non-PG) as the high school.

I don’t do per capita, because it assumes every person in highly populated states have the same access to the sport as they do in places like Iowa. If I were to compare this to a state’s population, it would be to NFHS participation numbers - the prospective college wrestlers, in my estimation, come from who is wrestling in high school, not a general population count.

this was just the top of the list, so while they may not be on the top, they are likely still somewhere down there on the list
but most definitely a down year for PA - although I don't have the supporting numbers on hand

Nick and I were on the same club wrestling team in college.  Great guy; great behind the mic for Rutgers.  Happy to see him get his flowers from the community.

Go blues!

David Ovaspyan loses 1-1 in the first or second round for the 120th time in a row. 
I don't know how the Stekenburg brothers convinced the stingy Dutch federation to give them indefinite blank checks. They compete at everything and they still haven't medaled (or made the olympics) at any major tournament, despite being in their mid 20s.

I feel like letting FILA run rampant with their known issues for 30+ years prior to us being dropped had as much to do with us being dropped from the Olympics as anything. When did we get dropped? When did women's wrestling get added? What kind of weak leadership did it take to allow medals to be taken in order to create medals for women? Not a troll post. Calm down. 

FILA's ineptitude as a whole and their reluctance to accept women's wrestling was definitely a factor - it wasn't exactly ancient history when they were awarding "prettiest wrestler" awards and vacuum cleaners for prizes at tournaments. Women's wrestling had four weights in 2004, 2008 and 2012. The upheaval and move to six weights helped save the sport on the Olympic programme. That's documented. 

LOL no it doesn't. adding women cost men a LOT. weight classes, resources, etc. let them stand on their own 2 feet and stop stealing from the men. sorry your daughter wrestled. low class for women to do it. 

Exporters typically absorb a lot of those costs at first. If the tariffs stick, they eventually get 100% passed on to the consumers. 

and oddly, only caused a $1 difference in products from Temu …

Carlton Haselrig - 7 times.
 

Is he still around? I thought someone posted an obit on the old board but maybe I'm thinking of a different person

I was very excited about this. As I was assembling a summary of my interpretation of what has happened with Signal in security terms. Halfway through, I realized that whatever I posted - however good or bad - was going to be met with the same kind of garbage I was stormed with in the last dozen or so posts. Likely joined by a dozen or so other posters who like to pile on like a bunch of jackals.
My cooler, calmer head prevailed. Better for me to keep my personal interests separate from this place.
Doesn't matter.
In the end, the message is simple. US Military should use military secure channels, period. Anything else is high risk. Anyone who doesn't follow this should be sacked.

Way too much Kidz Bop (which is effing terrible)

Gorriaran (had to look up that spelling) Award goes to Cam Steed he had 3 pinfalls in 7:00 to Hendrickson's 3 pinfalls in 8:25
No one else had more than two.

... even NJ Dan 

It’s also a timing thing. Set up for finals with the stage and mat was completed just before doors opened.

Session 5 was changed to this format last year. We did it this way last week in Providence for D3 as well.

Didn’t have anything to do with 47.

Tie was Greenlee at the All-Star. Other loss might have been Hall too … talked to Pecora back in June before he passed and he had it in front of him. I think I wrote it down somewhere.

They did set the record again at 209 points

That's incorrect. The record is 234.5 set in 2017. 

They tied their own NAIA record with 7 finalists and tied the NAIA record for most champs (6) in a season, tying the 1981 Central Oklahoma (then known as Central State) squad.

Schools in Lehigh's conference (CAA) that I believe are good geographical fits for wrestling; Villanova, University of Delaware, & Albany.  Hard to imagine either of the Boston schools picking it up.  Would realignment be better for Edinboro, Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, & Rider to join the EIWA? 

Also, Temple and Syracuse should resurrect their programs. 

Lehigh's in the Patriot League, not the CAA. 

Over/under on fans attending 6 team Ivy League tounament is 84

It appears that all other teams have at least 1 loss.  Has this ever happened before?

It sucks
