Ruschell at Northern Plains Qualifier May 9th - 11th

[Wisconsin Wrestling Fan]

Side note for those who didn't check out the bracket on trackwrestling yet - Dardanes beat Jason Chamberlain in the semis.

I see Chamberlain is ranked 5th in the freestyle rankings, so that is impressive to win this tournament.  Kyle did not wrestle for almost a year, and it now appears he is back in contention and has shaken off the so called rust.  I think all of these extra matches he got in this tournament will help at the World Team Trials.

Does anyone know the format of the Trials?  Is it a challenge tournament and the winner faces the winner of the US Open?

By the way, I wonder if Grapplemom was there and took any pictures ? :-)

Yup, mom was there with both cameras.  Kyle looked good all day, only one time the ball grab (coin flip, the ref forgot his balls  ) was used; 2nd period against Montell Marion.  The only points Kyle surrendered all day were 3 gimme take downs against Dardanes after Kyle was ahead 4-0, otherwise I don't think he would have given up any of the three based on his performance the other nine periods.

Side note; Dusty Jentz and Jens Lantz looked good all day long also.

Wow! He smoked Marion big time. Very impressive.
