State Tournament

[Lunatic Fringe]

I posted the state qualifiers on the last thread but thought I'd start a new one.

With 29 qualifiers.  How many do you think have the ability to get on the podium? Last year the conference had 15 with 8 in the finals. The Janesville Craig sectional was darn tough to get out of.

I'm gonna go with 13 this time and 8 in the finals again.  Stoughton could put 5 in the finals.

My predictions are 19 on the podium with 8 in the finals!  Good luck Badger conference!  Can't wait to watch you all this weekend!

if I counted right 10 weights with Badger Conference guys on the front side.  Pretty impressive! And Stoughton leading and two others in the top ten. Keep up the hard work!

9 wrestlers from the Badger conference in the Div1 state finals!!Just backs up what I have said for quite awhile,arguably the toughest conference in the state!

I'll agree with you Boo!  However, it seems like the conference is very top heavy.  Milton and Stoughton combined for 7 of the 9 wrestlers in the finals. However, it was impressive to see that with 6 less qualifiers in the conference this year we still had the same number of place winners.
