Steck was a legend. Ran probably the best overall IM program in the country.
2 questions:
1) When did he retire?
2) Do they still run an IM wrestling tournament? I’m pretty sure the answer to this one is - no, not for quite some time.

Well,..the men's TEAM is set. A few observations: LEE and his suspect health/knees held up superbly! :roll: Hoping he qualifies via Turkey tourney.. RETHERFORD was a surprise in a WIDE-OPEN weight class. DAKE as expected, and a sentimental favorite after his father's recent death. :cry: BROOKS take...

I am thoroughly on the same page as whiz wit that we have young guys that can in fact step it up. I predict that Stanich will not redshirt but bulk up & take the 141 spot from Hines. Stanich is a driven kid with work ethic that will take him to the top of the podium some day. I predict that Gri...

I assume the NCAA statement of 2026 means when the championship is held.

Rich - what statement is that?

Just watched Audrey Jimenez get the tech 10-0 in her semi. A dominant wrestler. As a reminder, this is the young lady who won the Az girls championship for 4 years, and also won the boys championship this year. Coming to Lehigh as an Engineering student. Just watched her challenge final which she w...

This will really change things: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed an NIL bill into law on Thursday that could significantly change the college sports landscape. Effective July 1, schools in Virginia can directly pay student-athletes for Name, Image, and Likeness. The law that Youngkin signed on Th...

First of all - it's good to see Klehner back. Bonus points - that's what is needed when counting on 3 or 4 wrestlers at Nationals. Crookham wins, and could very well be National Champ next year - but doesn't produce a ton of bonus points - Crookham last year had 11 bonus wins with 1 pin and 6 TF. Be...

Ther should be a way to "pin" the original post in this thread to the top of the page so that it stays there. Great information and summation.

I think some people underestimate the impact an injury can have on an individual both physically and perhaps as important mentally when the difference between success and failure is often measured in fractions of a second. Caden is well aware what wrestling on the college level is about. His father...
