All good. You’re doing a great and very appreciated job.
I saw the same thing up at ESU Open in Nolf Redshirt year. All the guys including the coaches were sitting along the back wall of the Airport Hanger looking gym brown bagging it. It was something I didn't expect .

Everyone else is listing their club while Bernie Truax says Having Fun instead.
Cole look exhausted. 232 tells me maybe nonstop eating and lifting since nationals. Pretty ugly, but I suppose we need to trust the process.
Kasak also looked rough. Luke didnt really look very sharp to my eye. C- type of performance so far.

That stinks. Bummer for Evans to lose on criteria like that.
I thought it was an eye poke, but it sure makes me nervous when he’s grabbing his face.
Barraclough is into the quarters.
Evans lost to Hardy on criteria
Green up on Sealey 5-0 with 1:09 to go.
