Cael mentioned that in a Friday/Sunday dual situation there is a one-pound weight allowance for the second dual. That was something I had not heard before.
That's because this season is the first time the rule is in place.
Rule 9 (Medical Examinations, Weight-Ins and ISRF), Section 3 (Weigh-Ins for Dual, Triangular and Quadrangular Meets), Article 2 (1-Pound Weight Allowance) was modified before the start of this season. Previously this Article limited the 1-pound weight allowance to the second day of competition in all instances of back-to-back team competition. It was expanded this year to include, "Additionally, if a team competes in dual meets within a 48-hour window (measured by event start time), all wrestlers shall receive a 1-pound weight allowance for the subsequent dual within that window."
Kinda comical when you step back from it. Athletes and coaches are going to push to tolerance limits to fit within the rules. Where the lines are drawn is rather arbitrary.
For any pair of Day1 and Day2 weights one of the days is the most taxing (or tied for) to make weight, and everybody has to manage toward that weigh in. I’m guessing they’re targeting a point where those two weigh ins are equally difficult to lower the inconsistency in performance.
Thanks @Psalm 1 guy for posting my recordings. If anyone is interested, this year I started posting full transcripts of these too, (thanks to AI for the massive assist):
Wrestling Media Availability with Cael Sanderson, PJ Duke, and Mitchell Mesenbrink

My ears perked when I heard Cael say this when I originally listened to the interview. You will never be able to convince some obstinate posters on HR this is the case. Some of them will forever believe Cael is buying his recruits. They just can't fathom that money isn't the primary motivator for some. The thought of going to a program to challenge yourself to be the best wrestler (and person) you can be rather than just wanting a "bag" is foreign to their thinking.
I saw him yesterday during the media scrum but couldn’t conjure a name for the recognized face.
It wasn’t in the binderWould seem “Wrestling by Pirate” didn’t listen to a word Cael said.
For those that keep saying there is a secret sauce inside rec hall
Mitch is way too deep for me, but any side he and Mikey are on together I sure as hell don't want to be on the other side.
Absolutely crazy if true!
I found his words very easy to follow. He's not talking about wrestling hes talking about competing, he's not training to beat Mikey. Mitchell knows what part of the "game" gave him troubles, he doesnt need film for that. He just knows what part of his "game" he needs to work on....period!
Edit: LOVE YOU
Im sure film is watched alot but for them more so than thier appointments.

Re Seidel:
Nice to see artsy London neighborhoods holding wrestling tournaments
Here I thought it was a cartoon memory mashup of 'Bloom County" and 'Doonesbury.'
Kid can’t catch a break. He’s one that will go down as a huge what if he could’ve stayed healthy. His first year with 2 wins against Vito was incredible. That might be the high point and that sucks. Hopefully he can get healthy and have a full season next year
Love it! But one correction. It's 12 out for 14 of the last NCAA championships. COVID year does not count.
For a kid built like a tank and known to be as strong as a gorilla he is quite fragile.
