2023 Bill Farrell Memorial tournament

[Tom McAndrew]

takes place on 11/17 and 11/18, at the New York Athletic Club. The top 4 wrestlers at each weight class (of those that have not yet qualified for the 2024 US Olympic Trials) will be qualified for such.

A number of PSU alums and those with PSU connections are entered. I'll list them below in a separate post.

I'll be at a conference both days, so I won't be in a position to provide much information about how those with PSU connections do.

Please use this thread for all discussions about the Bill Farrell Memorial tournament.

We should have a double match at the BJC some time. Two smaller schools and then PSU vs name your team. The Barn deal last night appeared to be pretty cool.

Either have the entire small vs small first or mix them in.

Very respectable vs Ringer. AD is 30 years old and certainly on of the best 86kg guys in the US.

Losing 11-6 to Marinelli is pretty good.

Luke Lilledahl wins the Bill Farrell at 57Kg with a 5-1 win over Bilal from Pakistan. He wins on two nice takedowns and an activity point. Showed some great defense too; very slippery and heavy hips. Nice win for the PSU commit!

Ummmmm…….. He had a good tourney for his age, but he did not win the Bill Farrell.

3rd

My bad. That was the most screwed up coverage. On the screen on Flo it just said Finals. It didn’t say 3-4 or 3-5, so I just figured he made it because maybe Spencer Lee forfeited out after reaching the top 4.

Strangely, there wasn’t much mentioned on HR about Nolf manhandling Kemmerer or Marinelli?

As much discussion as there was here about Lee beating Lilledahl & Megaludis?

 

[SleepyLion]

They probably did not expect Marinelli to make it past the semis...

 

[SRATH]

HR is a place to stay away from.

The wrestling world revolves around State College

Nolf is a formidable international wrestler. So is Lee. Kem and Marinelli, not nearly so much.
