Badgers are sending four wrestlers to the ASICS Junior National Championships, which take place April 18-20 in Las Vegas. Isaac Jordan, T.J. Ruschell, Rylan Lubeck and Justin Koethe will all compete in freestyle for spots in the Junior U.S. World Team Trials.
Great work guys. Hope it goes well!
I know what a toll it takes and JT is in Greco mode right now, but it'd be nice to see him wrestle some freestyle in the off-season. From what I've heard, and this is the case with pretty much every young wrestler, especially Greco wrestler, his leg attacks need to improve to get to where he and where we want him to be.
But when you're a contender for the Olympic team, I guess your focucs has to be completely on Greco in the off-season.
Scourge -- I agree but it has to help being in the room with Graff pressing him on the legs and training on the attack.
Lubeck to the finals!
Where are these results being posted?
Lubeck Lost in the Greco finals.

If they gave an extra "tenacity" point, Lubeck would usually win it.
He's just tough as heck.
To tell you the truth I am a little surprised to see Theilke down at 132 for this event. I was under the impression that he had hit a growth spurt and was no longer able to get to 133 without significant trouble. I understand that this is international style with the associated changes in weigh-in rules etc., but still...
great job Lubeck!
It is interesting to see JT there. I wonder how his strength is at this point?
Jesse over Nick Simmons 7-0, 0-4, 7-0. Wow must've been exciting. Atta boy Jesse!
impressive...Andrew Crone (Badger Recruit) wrestling as a Senior in HS.

Does anyone have the exact definition of the 'junior' division as it related to "Junior Worlds' and the current "Junior National Championships" being held in Las Vegas....?
I think according to FILA it relates to those whose age is from exactly 17 to 20, inclusive. Can't wrestle in this division if you are 21 years of age, correct?

What am I missing here - I don't see Crone winning a match and taking 8th place. Call me jaded, but....
I think it is a cudos for taking on the competition at a higher level.

Ahhh, I didn't actually catch that point. Taking it to the next level is indeed worthy of some applause.

You have to be born between 1993 and 1995 (or 1996 with medical exemption)

Thanks!
Observations:
Congrats Tyler Graff- figure out Ramos and your my favorite for a title at next year's NCAA.
133 is going to be an incredibly deep weight class the next few years. Looking forward t seeing Whitford compete (Mich)- as soon as next year???
Aaron Pico- Freshman (in HS) phenom from Cali wins it all. How soon are you allowed to compete at the SR level?
No Mark Hall?
Congrats Matt Grey!
Great to see Badgers competing! Would love to see a Lubek /Theilke practice session:)
Kyle Snyder- Another great heavyweight in the NCAA mix.
Tsirtsis- 141 or 149?
No McCauley?
Future of wrestling pretty bright!
