Again comes down to heavyweight...What’s the deal with Rivera? Is he badly injured? Dual meet record could well be much better if he had been at 133....

Rivera tweaked his ankle at Midlands on decDecem 30th. So did Yayha Thomas. Hopefully he will be back soon. Looks like Rivera's main competition for a national title,DeSanto from Iowa,tore his knee out on Friday. Rivera has an excellent shot at a title. We have three solid guys redshirting, including Colin Valdiviez at 33! We wrestled tough tonight. We can easily finish top ten in the nation as our upper weights 57-97 are all wrestling well.

Seems like we have a shot of qualifying for NCAAs in 7 weights, everywhere except 41, 84, and heavyweight. I think that would be (tie?) a school record. Two legit national champion contenders. Should be fun. ...... Although these last 2 BT losses have been painful, knowing that we win either with Rivera healthy.

Also our 25lber lost both matches when he was favored! DeAuginstino is a brawler! Our 49 liber Thomas was hurt against Michigan. Jensen at 84 just beat the 13th rated wrestler in the nation from Michigan. He can make ncaas.
 
Agreed! Tough kid! I hope Moreland is ok! If not, we have a solid and capable backup,Troy Fisher, who can qualify also

Morland out really sucks. I doubt they pull Fisher's shirt. I bet we see the kid Ankhaa again.

We will have a tough go vs Ohio State, but I'm really interested in 125 149 165 and 184
