Pan American Championships


I love the behind the scenes that OSU, stillyboys and the RTC put out. Curious how decisions for training partners are made. Interesting to see Dreshaun get the invite to work out Wyatt on this trip.

Also curious what the competition level for senior pan-am’s is? I’m slowly becoming familiar with international wrestling but if given the chance, I wonder if it takes a world class level to win or would a really good college guy also compete for gold (ie, Plott, Amine etc).

McKenna got screwed. They gave him no time in par terre
His opponent didn’t wrestle for 6:50 and won somehow so hats off to that wizardry. Joey had too many good shots not finished for points. It’s pretty bad that the Argentine only got put on the clock halfway through the second. Bro did nothing. Good example of when Freestyle rules suck.
