Just looking at the latest Intermat rankings as of 2-6-24... On paper only, we are only favored to win 1 match (@ 165 pounds) but Mesenbrink looks really really good. I still think Caliendo wins it...
I think Tom brings the best lineup and lets Gabe Arnold and Ben Kueter wrestle. If the Hawks wrestle well, I think Gabe wins. Not sure if Kueter can take down Kerk right now.... Ayala and Woods can both win if they wrestle like they know they can.... Still hard to see a path to win this but I hope our best effort comes out...
#7 Ayala vs. #2 Davis
#20 Schreiver vs #6 Nagao
#2 Woods vs. #1 Bartlett
#12 Rathjen vs. #10 Kasak
#5 Franek vs. #1 Haines
#6 Caliendo vs. #7 Mesenbrink
#7 Kennedy vs. #1 Starocci
UR Arnold vs. #6 Truax
#11 Glazier vs. #1 Brooks
UR Kueter vs. #1 Kerkvliet
