My nephew's son just won U8 65lb PJW PA States in Harrisburg today. He met Levi and Josh at an autograph table . I'll try to post picture of them.My nephew was a first generation wrestler. He made it to PA States (2nd District 11 and Regionals) his junior year. He ended it up with 98 victories in about 3 seasons. He lost his first semester his freshman year when he transferred from Pius to Bangor. He then lost his late December and January Senior year for a discipline issue. Bangor got mad that he was working out with Blair Academy in addition to going to Bangor practice. In addition, he got himself in a little trouble. He probably would have had 120 victories in his career. He was first generation but his parents were very supportive of him and did travel to tournaments when possible . During his youth he beat Quinten Wright and Ed Ruth.![]()

OkSt will be great competition in maybe 2 years. Next year they bring in Ross at HWT and the Raneys. They return 116 points. Maybe one of the Raneys can go 149, beat out Swiderski, and score a few more points. But at a lot of weights they topped out last year and won’t get more next year.

PSU returns 155 and will be stronger IMO.
2028 will be interesting.
I know he had signed with a MMA development company. Whatever he decides to do I hope we get to see him in action sometime soon. I don't know if he simply doesn't have any interest in RAF or if they haven't offered him but I've been waiting for him to complete again. He needs to beat Hendrickson to put him back in his place.Not sure I get this for Kerk unless Gwiz is still hanging around Cornell.
Big win for Dellagatta though.
Hope that RAF signing Steveson doesn't back-burner Kerk for a while.I know he had signed with a MMA development company. Whatever he decides to do I hope we get to see him in action sometime soon.

How will this affect allocations to nationals for the BIG 12?Air Force, Northern Colorado, North Dakota State and South Dakota State leaving the Big 12 to go to the Pac-12.
They'll get more.How will this affect allocations to nationals for the BIG 12?
Have been hoping to see this. Pac 12 has been sadly gutted but it’s very important to wrestling. Now a few teams that may have been an after thought in Big 12 get a fresh start in a conference closer to home. Much more viableAir Force, Northern Colorado, North Dakota State and South Dakota State leaving the Big 12 to go to the Pac-12.
I like the Hawkeye symbol where the BMW logo would go and the #5 on the back of the singlet.
Agreed, the status don't lie, but neither does the PSU taxI think Josh Barr should have got the hammer award.
