U.S.A. still has to QUALIFY 57K/65K in Turkey. :roll: https://www.themat.com/news/2024/may/01/u-s-team-heads-to-istanbul-for-pivotal-world-olympic-games-qualifier-may-9-12 Appears Ramos will represent the Philippines, and a rematch with Spencer Lee is pending. :o Hate to say it, but 65kg might miss...

Well. JAD wadaya think... OTT for wrestling... Bryce Jordan Center... in NIT country... w/ a boatload of NITwrestling club wrestlers in the trials... SURROUNDED by the NITfaithful (they were even booing Burroughs :shock: ) ;) yep... I think the playing field was juuuussssstttt a bit tilted, no? :P D3

Rumor has it that McGonagle transferred to Virginia Tech over the weekend. If true, I wish him nothing but the best. Great young man. He HAS been mentioned on their message board... see 4/10/24 post, If it's McGonagle by VTwinsdad. https://virginiatech.sportswar.com/message_board/vtwrestling ...let...

Vito is out...

Wood Got Pinned!
D3

The ref was going to call Smith for passivity when he launched a double leg at Wood to nab a 2-0 lead (fortunately Jordan turned to avoid the 4 pointer.)
2-0 Smith into the break...
D3

Smith IS athletic...
D3

They scored it 10-7 for Smith(red) in the end... Nathan on the short end.
(Smith is an athletic 125 Kg'er.)

Taylor was trailing 6-5 when he scored a possible 2pt exposure just as time expired... he's blue, but red threw in the challenge brick.
D3

Wood had a bye in the 1st rnd... Taylor had a fall in his 1st rnd in 4:33 (he was trailing at one point)
Wood got a fall w/ an assasin in 1:28 in his QF rnd
Nathan is wrestling now...
