Chris Weiler will wrestle Layne Malczewski of Michigan State for5th Place.

[TomM]

Weiler appears to have a difficult shoulder issue. Wearing a brace and toughing it out. Not easy.

THOR BY FALL OVER LUFFMAN 1:08

Trent Hillger returns to the NCAA's!

Krattiger forfeited...

injury?
I brought "healthy" up in one post and was kind of laughed at. Guess I might have known what was up with any Big Ten wrestler short season or not and it appears there is something a little more going on at the W then the average Big Ten team.

Liam Cronin defeats Eric Barnett by fall

Barnett finishes 10th.

Arguably our best young wrestler finished 10th out of 14 at big 10s..ibcluding getting pinned twice. Reality check.

THOR BY FALL OVER LUFFMAN 1:08

Trent Hillger returns to the NCAA's!

Awesome!  Hopefully Thor is back full power for the NCAA's!

2 wrestling for 5th and one that placed 7th. So 3 guys so far qualified for the NCAA. Is this what the BadgerNation is hoping for? I think with the year that is about where they should be, maybe 1 more at the NCAA.

[stbird]

After watching a lot of these wrestlebacks now, our guys are wrestling tough!  The top game is very impressive.  We aren't quite there yet, but with another year I think these guys will be competing with anyone.  We all want our freshmen and sophomores to come out and be All Americans but that just isn't reality.  We can be a top 10 program every year if we can continually have our juniors and seniors as serious all american contenders with freshmen and sophomores learning the ropes and continually improving.  I think we will see the beginning of this next year.

Arguably our best young wrestler finished 10th out of 14 at big 10s..ibcluding getting pinned twice. Reality check.

Barnett wrestled 5 top 20 wrestlers in the country at the Big Tens.

Eric defeated  #16 Cardini and #18 Howard; he lost to #6 Cronin, #7 Heinselman and #10 McKee.

Obviously Barnett could have wrestled better - he was a little sloppy this weekend. He should get a wild card at 125.

Let's hope he does
