What's your over under on AA's? I am going with 7 cadets and 5 juniors. The brackets will be insanely loaded.
AA Predictions
Juniors Freestyle: Nicolar, Clark, Brenner, Bianchi, Mesenbrink, Scoles, Whiting
Possibly - Eisch, Radintz, Drexler, Thorpe, Mechler, Stricker, Gunderson
Juniors Greco: Stricker and Whiting
Possibly: Gunnar Hamre, Cale Anderson, Matt Rogge, Ramberg, Rhode
Cadet Freestyle: Haakon Peterson, Brett Back, Aeoden Sinclair, Connor Mirasola, Koy Hopke, Griffin Empey
Possibly: Dawson Johnson, Charlie Millard, Cole Mirasola
Cadet Greco: Haakon Peterson, Brett Back, Aeoden Sinclair, Koy Hopke, Griffin Empey
Possibly: Reid Spurley, Amryn Nutter, David Malin, Ian Smith

I would toss in Ramberg at 195 junior freestyle, since he is ranked 10th per mat scouts, plus a double AA at UWW this past April. Though 195 is loaded to the gills and for Gunderson or Ramberg to step on the podium would mean they may have to wrestle out of their respective minds! Looking through weight classes and for any Wisconsin kid to be on the podium would entail beating alot of studs!
It is that way each year. This tournament is always the one where the big boys come to play. Junior freestyle is the toughest high school tournament in the country. Hats off to all the WI kids that have decided to throw their hat in the ring. We have a lot of our studs going. Brenner, Scoles, Whiting, Mesenbrink, Marko, Nicolar, Clark and Gunderson seem to me to be in contention. Always one or two that surprise you. Greco could be anybodies guess. Not nearly as deep as freestyle so brings more kids into the mix.
Don't know much about the cadet kids.
Good luck to all.
Relatively few kids from all states have seeding criteria so can get some tough matches quicker than a fully seeded tournament. Would almost be impossible to fully seed anyways. Path matters in a marathon event like freestyle brackets. Hopefully we gets some decent draws and get some upsets if we don't. IMO, upsets are more common in freestyle than folkstyle. The junior level kids are generally wide open compared to the much more freestyle experienced senior level guys.
I think you forgot Jake Hall at Cadet 132 Greco as an AA pick. The kid is tough and will definelty be a dark horse and one to watch out there this upcoming week.

Totally right, Placed at UWW Cadet Trials. He's definitely someone to watch.
Rokfin has 6 Wisconsin Jr's getting AA, one over the line I put out. I could be sold at 6 for the number maybe even as high as 7 if everything goes well. On the down side it could be 3-4, the brackets are absolutely stacked.
Rokfin has Wisconsin getting 6 Cadet AA, one under the line I put out. Wisconsin has 4 potential finalist's at this age level, could this be the best age group in the past 5 years?
Excited to see Kylie Welker on the Women's side again and Koy Hopke in the 16U.
Not sure it has the allure it once did, or it is just too taxing on the wrestler. But Wisconsin had 7 title winners in Folkstyle, but i see only 3? (Back, Sinclair and Hopke) have signed up to wrestle both freestyle and greco and try for the Triple Crown. I know this may mean more for the youth but still an amazing accomplishment for any age and thought more would attempt it after winning Folkstylke Nationals.
I have to say i am truly excited with the depth of Team Wisconsin for both the Jr and Cadet line ups.
I can see 6-10 AA in Cadets with potentially 2-3 champions
I think the same with JRs, 6-10 AA with 2 champions
It's kind of disappointing for Wisconsin Greco. All of these Greco AA's won't be doing greco this year.

He can take over for Eric Barnett at Wisconsin in a few years ;)
Hortonville!
Junior Freestyle tied for 2nd going into the afternoon session!
Any other way to see results besides the link from nutman? I don't have a Flo account, so the link doesn't work for me.
Thanks
I thought Flo Arena was free to all?

Flo Arena is free to all. Although I don't understand why they don't use trackwrestling for brackets. I would think with Flo purchasing tract they would use the more user friendly option.
Congratulations to Koy Hopke with a first place finish. He is making NW WI proud! I would love to see him wrestle for the home state Badgers.
285 Ben Kawczynski in the Junior finals!
170 Jared Stricker from way Up North (Ashland High School) wins a wild one in the consolation semifinals. He was down 10-4 at the end of the first period and comes back in the 2nd period to win 18-13. He will be going for 3rd place.

So the upside is apparently 10 AA per division. Well done WI freestyle team!
285 Ben Kawczynski beats top ranked HWT 12-4 for first place at Fargo. Congratulations Ben!
Oak Creek is super proud of Ben

Oak Creek is super proud of Ben
What an accomplishment on top of winning state last season. I wonder if some D1 schools will start recruiting him now :). He definitely has earned it.
The guy he beat in the finals is a top recruit going to North Carolina State next year.
Congratulations to everyone who participated. What a tough tournament. It had 25 mats!
