I like Burwick going back to high school. He came out hard tonight, but gassed a bit at the end, which is to be expected with all the emotion/excitement he went through today.
I didn't like to see the Gophers lose a few of those early matches the way they did, but the upper weights made it an exciting dual despite the somewhat lopsided score.
Require a minimum number of matches to qualify for the post season and another minimum number to be seeded at nationals. I don't know the exact numbers to suggest, maybe a minimum of 10 to qualify and 20 to be seeded. I don't want the threshold so low that it eliminates legitimate injuries, but maybe those athletes forfeit their seed.
As much as I appreciate the hour-by-hour updates on the Burwikk situation, could we edit the thread to spell his name correctly, or has this reached the significance of a Stevenson/Carl type of purposeful misspelling?
I kind of agree. I like the scenery and most episodes have about 10 minutes of decent drama but most of the show just drags on and not a real compelling story.

Hayden Zillmer did wrestle 103 as a Freshman, but he was undersized and didn't win a match at state that year. He was a Cadet Fargo freestyle champ at 84 lbs the summer before.
