Gantry

What is the connection with Joe and NIU? Pains me to say this as an NIU alum, but that's a big step down academically.

Saunders has been around seemingly forever so I'm quite surprised he still has eligibility - especially with Cornell's rules.

I never even heard of Hiram and I have no idea where "Western State" is - sounds like a made up college for a National Lampoons flick. And being an IL native, the fact that SIU Carbondale had 3 D1 national champs is pretty damn mind blowing. Times have certainly changed in the college wrestling world.

Nope, can't get in either. I think GMF may be trying wrestlestat.com and not wrestlingstats.com - two different (and valuable) websites.

He was massive at 133, so that makes sense.

Stanich started his college career at 125/57, I have to think that he's done moving up weight classes.

That top4 in 2009 is absolutely incredible, going with that. Especially since I believe Leen and Gillespie had already been champs, this isn't a situation where someone places 7/8 as a frosh and becomes a monster later. Didn't Pami make the finals too?

Mark Jayne was one tough customer, surprised he never placed higher than 7th

If that's the case and it isn't required, what is the point when people enter with "do not contact"?

Sebastian Rivera bumped up to face #1 Micic, iirc he weighed in at 125 and was also introduced at that weight during handshakes to keep the element of surprise. He lost, but respect.... Who did Mark Schultz bump up against?

Soon as I read this I remembered something, decided to check the edit history of Pendleton's page. Page creation and first edit of his page was over 20 years ago by some rando with a weird name:

Good match, Russian just had more offense and was killing LL from that front head position.

That exposure in the first by LL was a thing of beauty.

All's right in the world when there are Thorn's are wrestling, the family always has a fun style.

When watching in real time, it sure did look like Carr's points - I was surprised Japan got 2. But they had a brick and didn't use it.
