I still miss Five Words

Great stories. Thanks! Way back in the 60s Marty Wiiligan, Hofstra was a 2-time NCAA All American including runner-up to Dan Gable in ‘69. Willigan was deaf and went on to a long, successful career coaching at Gallaudet University. One of the proudest honors of my wrestling accomplishments was coaching a blind wrestler here in New Hampshire. Cory Wilkins was a two time state place winner. Reading the story of Stephon Breedlove made my day today.

You may recognize “John Meeks” from the 2017 Iowa State roster https://cyclones.com/sports/wrestling/roster/john-meeks/8762 However, the BBCC AD John Meeks is not the same https://www.bbccvikings.com/inside-athletics/bios/John_Meeks This John Meeks has quite a basketball resume so kudos to him for his enthusiastic support of the growth of the wrestling community.

Princeton’s Jake Marsh will be a grad student at Morgan State next year and I believe has a year of of eligibility left. It would be fun to see Morgan State vs Princeton in a dual meet.

Princeton’s incoming freshman: Marc-Anthony McGowan, 126 lbs, Blair Academy, National Prep Champ Drew Heethius, 132 lbs, Detroit Central, 3x Michigan State Champ Eligh Rivera, 138 lbs, Lake Highland (FL), National Prep Champ Tyler Vasquez, 138 lbs, Delbarton, NJ State Champ Holden Garcia, 172 lbs, NDGP, 2x PIAA finalist, 2022 Champ Zander Silva, 157 lbs, CBA, 2023 NJ States 2nd Anthony Moscatelli, 215 lbs, Mt Olive, NJ 7th place Plus Delbarton prospects junior Danny Jones, 120 lbs, NJ States runner up and Joe Davi, 144 lbs

Vito for sure!

Yeah. Warren Crow started out at Cornell before transferring to SUNY Albany when he defeated Sanders in the College Division Nationals at 123 lbs. Sanders then dropped to 115 for the D1 NCAAs and Crow finished 4th at 123 lbs.

Ooops! I mistook the last column as the wrestler's placement in D1.

This is a great list. Thanks. A few corrections: Rick Sanders was a D1 champion in 66 & 67 and runner up in 68. Gary Barton was champion in 72. Don Rohn was champion in 73.

Hahaha. Weehawken, you've got a chip on your shoulder … or rather a Burr up the ass for Glory.

Princeton incoming recruits — Anthony McGowan (126) Blair Academy, NJ; Tyler Vazquez (138) Delbarton, NJ; Eligh Rivera (138) Lake Highland Prep, FL; Holden Garcia (170) Norte Dame-Green Pond, PA; Drew Heethius (126) Detroit Catholic Central

Never pass up a bar.

My vote for this forum’s inaugural ball theme song — Oh Happy Day by the Edwin Hawkin Singers. Thank you!

Duh! Don’t know how to take a screen shot. I can select page 1 or 2 on the main menu of topics but once I’m on page 1 I am unable to choose “next” or “2” at the top or bottom of the page. The options are there but just don’t activate. If I close page 2 of a topic on the main menu, it opens page 2 but I am unable to get “prev” or “1” to work. Signing off. Thanks.

Delighted to be on board. Took nearly 2 hours for validation email to show up. One oddity, if a topic has 2 pages I can only access either page from the main menu but once I’m in the topic I cannot switch from page to page.
