125: Eddie Klimara - 7th seed, placed 7th
133: Gary Wane Harding - unseeded, DNP
141: Dean Heil - 14th seed, placed 4th
149: Josh Kindig - unseeded, DNP
157: Anthony Collica - unseeded, DNP
165: Alex Dieringer - 1st seed, placed 1st (Orange colored glasses, and all)
174: Kyle Crutchmer - 12th seed, placed 5th
184: Nolan Boyd - unseeded, DNP
197: No entry
285: Austin Marsden - seeded 4th, DNP
IIRC, at a minimum every one won at least one match. So they got some experience for next year's tournament.
Heil and Crutchmer came alive and "jumped levels". Both beat some tough kids which should give them tons of confidence for next year. Add that Collica goes down to the weight he should be at anyway, and that helps.
Klimara and Dieringer (counting chickens here) held their seed, so that's positive as well.
GWH and Boyd wrestled well it sounds like. Bodes well for next year.
Marsden didn't have the tournament he hoped for. Neither did Kindig. Hate to see Kindig's career end on that note, but glad for the work he put in to the program and he will always be able to say he is an All-American.
