I'm not doing pbp because I can't type fast enough. Mastny's TF just now was in 21 seconds.

There's not many here that can even score on the American contingent. Burnett's only competition is probably going to be Nathan Lyttle, a Central Michigan recruit and the only question is if it lasts until the 2nd period.

 

[Coastal2]

Bassett 12-2 in 1:05 Mantanona 10-0 in 2:06

Dean Anderson beating Moses Mendoza is an upset . Mendoza will be at Michigan this year . Anderson will be at UNI next year he's got 1 more year of high school. Flo's June rankings had Mendoza #1 and Anderson #3 at 138

 

[Coastal2]

Jaden Perez Drexel/Puerto Rico just hit an amazing lateral drop on Jackon from Jamaica for the fall

Dean Anderson will face him in the finals after beating Ramirez Muno from Colombia 11-0

 

[Coastal2]

Burnett pbp

Guatamala on a shot that Burnett counters for TD and two turns 6-0. Burnett snap to head pinch for 2. another turn for 10=0 win in :55

Challenge on the last 2 as they went switch to switch to Burnett pulling Guatamala over his back. Challenge lost score now 11-0

Burnett will face Nathan Lyttle, Florida State Champ, Central Michigan recruit wrestling for Puerto Rico.

Peterson is the only US wrestler that hasn't looked outstanding. Garcia Morales did make the finals at U23 Pan Ams but Ruiz beat him 12-1 and his silver was the result of really weak competition.

Bassett took :47 for his 10-0 in the semis

It's the headgear.

Boyle with 11-1 over Shergill from Canada in 1:34 in RR 4

That is correct. The Opening Ceremonies precede them, though, so I suppose they could start a little bit after if those run long.

 

[GregPickel]

Or not. USA Wrestling says the finals start in 30 minutes:

Maybe that means the sum of TF durations …

At U23s, they had a couple of finals then opening ceremonies then more finals.

The Opening Finals were epic, singularly the best worst thing I've ever seen. So horrifically bad that it was good.
