That is really the story. This guy was much faster than RBY.
2-3 on the night
The 2 Ws were really good,
2 of the 3 Ls were really bad
Levi is the bright spot for next year!!
Thanks for the journey this weekend everyone.
pleasure watching along with you all!

The Flash!
Seriously, Nat Champs. 8 AA's
Great weekend.
Thx @Tom McAndrew & @GregPickel for EVERYthing!!!
Arujau is the real deal. His length is a major advantage. He destroyed Fix with it. Paris is the best conditioned heavyweight I’ve ever seen. In 3 matches this year against Paris, Kerk was in and couldn’t finish as Paris is also strong as an ox.
You r only disappointed if you expect 4 or 5 for 5 Each year. Did not looked gassed either. A true freshman vs 24 year old , Parris was rolling and 133 beat up Fix.
No fluke that this kid took apart Fix and RBY. RBY didn’t look quite like himself against McGee or at BIG finals despite winning. It happens, he’ll of a career for him.
That kid must be the longest 133 in the world.
I remember asking if RBY was hurt. Pretty sure it might have been the quarterfinals match I posted he look like he hurt something. Greg responded to the post he didn’t think so, but he didn’t look right.
he is long. And isn't this is 1st year up from 125?
lookedlike could wrestle up 2 weight classes
7 guys wrestled to or above their seeds. THATs a great weekend.

wow, Alirez (Northern Colorado) upsets Real Woods (Iowa), 6-4
I am so sad that Iowa had no champions (not)
I did too, but it was close. I'm not surprised the review took so long. There were so many things to look at (when was reversal attained (doesn't matter when the on-mat ref indicated it), how long was Woods's back below 45 degrees, etc.)
Iowa not having any champions this year, makes the disappointment that RBY didn’t get the win a little less.
Penn State recap:

Penn State wrestling wins NCAA title, crowns two champions, and has eight All-Americans
Penn State wrestling completed a successful 2022-2023 season on Saturday at the NCAA Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
They really need to do something about the length of these reviews. It should not take that long. It impacts the matches and favors the less conditioned wrestler with the long break.
Just wondering if anyone here feels RBY didn't wrestle enough this year to prepare him for the finals.
REAL good match at 141 for sure. That kid from N Col sounded like No Bickall.
Dean on Haines to Byers: "I love that kid. Obviously a talented kid but a great competitor. He has a heck of a career ahead of him. I'm excited to watch it unfold."
Dean also joked that his black eye is "developing".

the on-mat reviews are faster. Since the NCAA switched to reviews done by people other than the on-mat refs for NCAAs, it takes longer. Plus they have more camera angles at Nationals than is the norm for duals, so there is more to look at.
The 141 final review did take a long time, but as I mentioned in my earlier reply, what they were reviewing is not something that lends itself to a quick review.
The obligatory Kyle Dake interview during a final at NCAAs. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I feel that's something that should be done between matches, not during a final.
I am so jaded watching these guys for the last 12 years. Team championship and 2x individual champions is something any program would want, but I am trying not to feel letdown. Reminiscent of being a Lakers fan living in S Cal in the late 1980s. No one thought it would end.
If Kerk would get a mean streak he’ll win it next season.
The first four have the same number of letters in their names. Seriously, great kid, great competitor.
score not updated for most of the night on psu wrestling club site
Not me. Nobody in the BT would have challenged him........with the speed Vito brought to the party. RBY has had a great career and it will be great to see what his next moves will be. I am grateful he came back.
@Tom McAndrew, @GregPickel, thanks for the detailed match summaries and analyses. Great work.
