Picture struck me as funny… not sure what I expected but here is the top wrestlers in the country sitting around the gym looking like a travel junior high volleyball team. Hopefully they have orange slices.

 

[GregPickel]

Joe Sealey is through to round three​

Penn State wrestler Joe Sealey won his second-round match against Drayden Morton of WCRT by decision, 10-3, to move onto round three.

[pish69]

Dake just pinned someone super quick

 

[GregPickel]

[GregPickel]

Dake just pinned someone super quick

That poor someone is Jackson Sapp of VWC, whatever that is.

 

[Coastal2]

It's crappy when they put GR in the middle of FS mats. 10 FS matches in a row on mat 4 then let's move it to GR. Makes jumping channels that much harder.

 

[pish69]

Truax won his first match by tech fall 10-0

The guy he wrestled looked like he lost a bet or something to show up at his age

Interesting that James is going 74 and Melvin Miller is going 70. In their last meeting Miller looked larger than James, but maybe he just looked that way to me. Then again, maybe Miller decided to cut weight and James didn't?

 

[Coastal2]

Gabe Sollars (Indiana) is up 6-2 on Jude Correa (Cornell) at the break on mat 7

I think Miller just looks bigger. He’s pretty consistently wrestled 70kg in free. They both have frames to add quite a bit of weight though
