World Team Trials are coming up! Since a world medalist is sitting out to Final X at 65, 79, 86, 92, and 97kg, we will only have competition at 57, 61, 70, 74 and 125kg. Pokes in the field:
61: Jax
70: Robideau
74: Amine
If entries remain the same, I’d imagine Jax and Desanto will face off again and Davino will face the winner of Seidel vs Tomasello. As much as I like Seidel, his strength is neutralized to a degree in freestyle, so envision another Davino vs Jax final. This is truly a toss up but I believe Jax gets it done with a bit more focus and fine tuning some of his mistakes after the first meeting.
Landon joins the challenge tournament after only wrestling U20’s at the Open. His field includes Alec Panteleo, Caleb Henson and Ian Parker. Not simple by any means but he can wrestle with and beat this group if he’s healthy and stays aggressive. There had been talk of Melvin Miller joining this field but I believe he’s focused on U20s at this point. Winner takes on Ridge Lovett at Final X.
Cam beat Carr in the open so I will not question his ability to advance but it’s a tough bracket. PJ Duke jumped in, as did Jayden James, David Carr, Mikey Caliendo and Evan Wick is cutting down.
This won’t be two days of fun like the Open but should have some great high level matches to enjoy!
