Ronna Heaton with the fall to win the challenge finals.  Great wrestling today!

Pretty incredible day for the RTC.  Braxton is unbelievable.  A 19 year old yet to wrestle a college match in the US greco finals wrestling 17 pounds heavier than he will be wrestling next fall. To get there he beat 3 of the top 5 in the US.

Just curious, who in the RTC room is pushing him to help him get to this level? Newton, Hillger, Christensen? Anybody else? Do any high level guys come in to train with him occasionally?

What a great night to watch wrestling. I was at a bar with some non-wrestling fans and trying to explain how it works, etc.

So many wrestlers with Wisconsin ties. My friends were a little surprised to hear this person is at the RTC, from Wisconsin, etc.
As long as we are keeping score, I've got something to prove

I loved hearing them over the loud speaker and the broadcasts saying "Wisconsin RTC" over and over.  Great exposure for the RTC.

Nice tech fall win by Erin Golsten on back side of bracket.  Braxton Amos forfeit (FF) in the freestyle.  Makes sense so he can focus on the Greco finals tonight.  Seth Gross FF in freestyle as well.

Wick with 2 nice wins today.   Gets to wrestle Nolf for 2nd.

Some great wrestling by Evan Wick.  He wrestled some studs.  I can't wait till we see him in Badger red again next season.

1st Place - Kyle Dake of TMWC/ Spartan Combat
3rd Place - Jason Nolf of TMWC/ NLWC
3rd Place - Evan Wick of TMWC
4th Place - Logan Massa of Cliff Keen Wrestling Club

Ronna and Braxton were both close.   One counter off of Ronna's shot was the big difference against Winchester.   

Braxton just got behind early on a missed throw.   If he can score first next match he has a good chance.

Jessie Thilke? Any info?
I saw an interview with him a month or so ago, and I believe it said he was preparing for the trials and actually helping coach (in some capacity).
Anyone have any info on him?
