Couldn't agree more! I remember in high school watching wrestlers running around the school in full sweat suits & wrapped up in black hefty bags to keep in the heat while spitting into cups. Not sure how safe that was???
That is why I gave up the sport in the ninth grade. Had to consistently lose 7 pounds to get to 160 pounds.

Recap: Penn State advances 8 of 10 to Round 2 at NCAAs
Penn State wrestling is underway at the 2024 NCAA Wrestling Championships. Here are the latest results from session one.
Lujan of MSU is up 4-1 in the second. So far it's looking like that is who Davis will have. Bates of NU up 4-0 at the end of two so AB will likely have him. Wilcox from tOSU is up 7-1 in the second so Levi is looking like he's heading towards him.
No. 32 Isaax Wilcox, Ohio State will take on Levi Haines. No. 33 Tristan Lujuan of Michigan State will face Braeden Davis.
125: Tristan Lujan (MSU) defeats Mike Joyce (Brown), 8-4. Braeden Davis will face Lujan in R1
How much time do the pigtail winners need before they can wrestle their next match?
197: Evans Bates (NW) defeated Jack Crawford (F|&M), 4-3, so Aaron Brooks will face Bates in R1
In these early bouts, I wouldn't be upset if Byers did not try to cover them. I need to mow my lawn, and Jeff keeps drawing me into his coverage.
Anyone have a sweet setup for the weekend? Let's see it.
285: Nick Willham (Indy) defeats Jordan Greer (Ohio U), 11-4. Kerk will face Willham in R1
@GregPickel @Tom McAndrew, if you have done this somewhere else I am sorry I didn’t read it. How many Individual championships do we get? All Americans?
and do we break the team scoring record? I think Greg predicted 5 champs and 10 AAs. I don’t know if he made a prediction on team points.

I am calling it now. 10 AA and four champs.
Wow, Bouzakis is getting worked by Brown from Maryland. Down 3-0 but getting ridden very hard with a boot in from Brown.
EDIT - Nevermind, reversal Bouzakis.

Julian Chlebove up now on mat 5. I thought he would be an elite college guy but we haven't heard from him in a few years it feels like. He is the 24 seed.
Will anyone join me in writing ESPN to ask them to put the mats in order on the scroll bar where you can flip between them? Grr!
Caleb Smith (Neb) defeats Michael DeAugustino (Mich) in OT with a TD with 1 sec left. They are going to video review
That surprised me too when I saw him. Remember watching him in high school and thought he'd be a stud at the college level too.
OMG yes. It's very annoying that it seems like it is a randomly generated order for the mat links.
Pre-tournament predictions are here. Sorry I don't have time to copy and paste them here at the moment but if you click through they are all there: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-stat...ny-champs-all-americans-will-penn-state-have/
I did not make a team points prediction but I will go on record as saying I don't think they'll break it this year.
I looked up his bio from the ASU site. We all know he was a 3x PIAA champ and it looks like this is his first NCAA tournament as a RSJR. Very surprising.
Kurt Phipps form Bucknell is about to win. Even though I had some real battles with kids from Norwin growing up it's good to see a kid from Norwin doing well at the tournament. They have always had a strong program at Norwin.
Vito does not look like he is hurt which is great. He looked fine at the end of the EIWA final to be honest.
