The top 5 spots at each weight qualified for the Olympic trials, so I doubt it was ducking due to other entrants.
No inside info, but my best guesses are that 1. The cut was too much and got to him or 2. He tweaked something and thought the last chance qualifier was a better route
I think it’s because you can take 15 wrestlers to nationals, but only score team points for the higher placing wrestler at the additional weights. I’m still learning too, so might not be 100% accurate.
Hope you’re right, but he didn’t dominate anyone at 174 last year, don’t see him killing it at 184 this year, but he could probably keep each match close like he did last year if he moves up.
He gave Bull just about all he could take last year. Carr is elite, I’ll give PK some time before I write off an elite recruit. Besides, who else is gonna go that gives us a better option?
I agree, to me, Warner reminds me a lot of Burak. A very solid wrestler, who puts away 90% of guys that he should, but hasn’t turned the corner on beating guys he is close to or capable of beating. Hoping he flips a switch in March.
