not really predictions but just looking at possibilities at each weight I feel really good about where the US is at in what I would call a transition year.
57- Lee / Lilledahl - two of our greatest age level wrestlers ever and spencer is an olympic silver, but I think either of these guys would medal.
61- Vito / Forrest - Obviously vito as his best is the man, but if he is off and Forrest wins I think Forrest could medal.
65- McKenna / Woods - McKenna is a journeyman with some good wins under his belt. Woods wrestling well right now. One of our biggest ?s
70- Yianni / Duke - Yianni is obviously great and has been in world finals. I am super high on Duke.
74- MM / Carr - I dont see any way Mesenbrink isn't the guy. If guys don't lace him up he is gonna give senior level dudes fits. But even if Carr wins he has a U20 gold.
79 - Wick / Haines - Wick I don't know anything about internationally. Haines didn't medal at cadet worlds. I have confidence in them but ?
86- Valencia / Dake - Valencia is a world medalist and Dake is an all time great. we are good either way.
92- Hidlay / Barr - Hidlay and Barr both have age level medals.
97- Snyder / Zilmer - If Snyder wrestles, obvious favorite. Don't have a big sample of Zilmer at 97.
125- Hendrickson / Hillger - Hendrickson has U23 medal.
