Incoming recruit Cole Erickson is wrestling as well. Finished 3rd in Greco, freestyle tomorrow.

 

[rossel 33]

looks like Seth Gross is in there too (65kg)

 

[Squarehat]

Keegan Shaw 152, Aaron Meyer 145. Meyer lost to Max Thomsen in Greco final 5-4

Wow! John Meeks beat Chase Pami multiple time AA. He may finally arrive next year at 149. Alex Meyer has an inevitable show down with Trotman, AA from Appalachian St

Yes, big win for John. Let's hope he keeps it up. He just needs some confidence.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

I'm far from an ISU fan, but I'd really like to see Meeks have some success at the D1 level.

 

[so cal hawkfan]

Can someone explain what happened in Happel's quarter match with Hornbuckle? On track wrestling he was down 9-0 then in the blink of an eye he won 19-9 all in the first period. WTF?!

 

[Squarehat]

Happell hit a 4 pt move, than laced for 11 in a row

Juniors:
132: Paul Glynn in semis vs. Sutton from IL
138: Happel in semis vs. Marko from PINacle
145: Aaron Meyer in semis vs. AJ Geers from Eastern Iowa (winner likely faces Max Thomsen)
160: Cole Erickson in semis vs. Samudio (Albert Lea)
160: Jeremiah Moody in consis (needs 2 more wins to place top 4 after losing in first round to Erickson)

(Did anyone notice that I'm counting Happel as an Iowa recruit? No inside info, just optimism.)

 

[GG121AND2]

I'm interested in the Tony Nelson/Eric Thompson semi. Thompson got the better seed.

 

[hawkeyesports92]

The 126 lb jr bracket is loaded.

 

[hawkeyesports92]

Keddy had a dominating day. Cole Erickson had a great day and Moody showed a lot of guts wrestling back to 3rd.

 

[clhawks00]

Congrats to Micah Burak on winning the 97kg weight class! He had a nice tournament.

 

[TarpHawk]

Jr division results:
132: Glynn 1st
138: Happel 3rd
145: Aaron Meyer 2nd (lost to Thomsen by TF)
160: Erickson 1st (4 TFs and a pin)
160: Moody 3rd (only loss to Erickson)

Wow! John Meeks beat Chase Pami multiple time AA. He may finally arrive next year at 149. Alex Meyer has an inevitable show down with Trotman, AA from Appalachian St

Then he went out and got his clock cleaned in his next two matches.

Future Hawkeye Jason Renteria of Illinois won the Central Regional yesterday in the Cadet 126 lbs bracket.

 

[TarpHawk]

With all due respect to Meeks, Pami forfeited out of the tourney after the loss, so there's a possibility he was injured during the match. Anyone see the match?

It's a fairly common occurrence in these tournaments that when you are no longer in contention you IJ out,

Future Hawkeye Jason Renteria of Illinois won the Central Regional yesterday in the Cadet 126 lbs bracket.

Wow! Up 13 pounds from the season. Wonder it this is the weight he will be wrestling next year.

 

[Squarehat]

Downey got beat and just left. He was called to his next match multiple times before they called it a forfeit.

 

[HawkTalk3]

Wow! Up 13 pounds from the season. Wonder it this is the weight he will be wrestling next year.

Its not uncommon for a high schooler to wrestle up for competition if they feel comfortable. I am not saying Renteria didn't grow, but for instance one of Iowa's top HS freshman Alex Thomsen wrestled up to 126 so he could wrestle in the same bracket as Hellickson, Portillo, and Rathbun.

Also, I know Mejia said his offseason plan is to get to 126 for next year.

 

[PapaBearSLIM]

Wow! Up 13 pounds from the season. Wonder it this is the weight he will be wrestling next year.

Probably not. I don't think he'll be up there for Fargo either.

 

[SPOONER]

But as evidenced by later thrashings, there was more to the story than the win over Pami.

I pull for Meeks so it was nice to see him compete.
