FINAL X

[Toast]

Chance Marsteller takes the pivotal 3RD bout from Burroughs!

In fairness, Chance won all three against Burroughs. No easy feat.

Yet Yanni owns a silver medal from last year's Senior Worlds and Vito has yet to pocket any hardware from that event. Maybe we should wait a few months before issuing high confidence level verdicts, notwithstanding recent results.

>>>>>>>> Perhaps, but Yianni didn't make the team so last year's Silver is no longer relevant. That's called regression. IMO, he'll need to add strength to reclaim his spot.

I totally agree with Oracle on this point.

With those highly cultivated cauliflower ears, the Agricultural College at Cornell is the perfect place for both Vito and Yanni. Yikes!

>>>>>>>>>Interesting to see the elite freestyle trend toward the east———led by Cael and psu/Nittany Lion club. The trend isn’t limited to champs, but includes most finalists.

Also noteworthy is the virtual absence of guys training in Iowa or Okl

Cael is setting the bar exceptionally high and it appears Smith and the Brands bros are being left in the dust at both the NCAAs and the US world team.

Marsteller signed on with the LVWC as a resident athlete/coach in April 2019. As I recall, he didn't stay long. Anybody have any information as to why his term was brief?

[mookie]

What do you think might have been the reason?

No idea.

Marsteller, himself, has admitted to fentanyl addiction. Amazing that he was able to turn himself around. Really amazing. It's not like he just kicked an addiction -- he just beat a World and Olympic champ to make our World Team.
