Merrill beating Ross does not change my take that I think Mocco will be more competitive against Merrill in folkstyle.
PREVIEW: Iowa sending 14 current/future Hawkeyes to U23 Nationals & U20 World Team Trials
- Thread starter Tanner Lafever
- Start date
Ross beats Merrill 9-2.
Ross takes out Merrill 7-1.

How'd you lose Ross again? Stuck with Mocco. Actually saw him at a Golden Corral with his dad in SC (got talked into it).
Projecting much little boy? Go grab your Terry Brands pacifier or your Tommy Blanky.
Looks like Jacob Warner and Alex Marinelli in Jordan Williams’ corner.
Nothing like starting your day with a match in the 'Round of 256' amirite?
Getting ready for a wedding so I haven't gotten to see everything but I did see Hernandez and Cruz one their first matches JW got a pin in his first match i think he wrestled again not sure?. Cj Torres won his first match and lost his second. Ty Miller lost the only match I saw him wrestle and Sampson,Ludington each won a match.also Fenton and lavezzola lost their first matches
Cruz, Hernandez, Ludington, Sampson and Williams into Round of 32. All others alive in consis.
Keyan Hernandez techs Ayden Smith 12-1.
Jordan Williams wins a nervy 11-7 dec. over PSU reserve Connor Pierce to reach the R16 - joining Cruz and Hernandez thus far.
Holy hell. ISU’s transfer and odds on starter.
JW into next round but really gassed hard with the 4 point win. Ludington just horsed his guy over with what looked like a reverse headlock type of thing for the pin. Wrenched the guys neck, looked like he just wanted to be pinned and get let go of.
Hernandez (5-2) and Cruz (11-0 TF) both reach tomorrow's quarterfinals at 57kg.
Hernandez defeated Little Rock's 125lb starter, Tyson Roach, and will face NCAA qualifier Mack Mauger (Missouri) next.
Cruz will face NCAA qualifier Tyler Chappell (Pittsburgh) in a quarter on the opposite half of the bracket.

JW bombs his opp and had him on his back for a solid minute before they call the fall.
Taking the Spencer Lee approach, just end it early and no worries of energy drain later. Seriously though, the ref appeared to want that match to last longer than what it actually did for some unknown reason.
Harvey with the 13-5 win into the quarters. Looks good, really thought he could have put the guy away but seemed to have burnt a lot of energy with the first takedown and 2 turns. Didn't back up but slowed down.
With Ludingon's victory there will be four Hawkeyes in tomorrow's quarterfinalists.
Brody Sampson just lost his consolation match (10-0), meaning he and Iowa's five other entries (Lavezzola, Fenton, Torres, Kennedy and Miller) have all been eliminated.

Cruz onto Semis. Keyan drops a tough 3-1 match. Both showed well.
Williams into the semis with a 3-2 win.
Great match from JW, gets the win 8-1 over AA Gavin Drexler. He is into the finals against Brandt Harer.
JW takes match 1 9-3.
After losing in the quarters on a late takedown, Ludington drops his first consolation match to 2025 Pittsburgh All-American Mac Stout (7-0).
He finishes one win shy of the podium at 92kg - as does Hernandez at 57kg.

JW 2 straight over Harer to win the tournament.
I believe Williams' spot on the U23 World team is dependent on two factors regarding Oklahoma State's Landon Robideau:
1) Robideau gets first dibs on the spot if he beats Caleb Henson for 'true third' on the Senior National Team - determined at Final X in a few weeks.
2) Even if Robideau does win, he may/may not decide to accept the spot anyway, as he's already on the U20 World Team.

He will get first dibs regardless. 4th on ladder now gets the opportunity first before the champ
