gonna be a great tourny

 

[AFHawk86]

I'm real curious to see how they seed our three 133lbers (assuming Clark participates). Last year we had three 141lbers seeded.

 

[fulsaasfan]

I would assume that Moore will be our highest seeded wrestler at 133 based on previous results.

2 things to remember is that the people who put these together for today are not the same people who actually seed the tourney and past Midlands results are the biggest factor for seeding. Hence Dan Leclere was our highest seeded 141 last year.

 

[ih8olives]

Any word on which (if any) backups and redshirts will be going? Heavyweight and 174 are loaded but it could be a great test for Telford and Evans.

 

[AFHawk86]

I don't imagine we'll have any more info on who is attending until after Christmas since there are no official practices until then. There was a living list of ~18 Hawkeyes on another site (I think they're allowed 20 max). Nothing official yet though.
