Anyone know why Spratley doesn’t seem to be competing in freestyle this season?

Anyone know why Spratley doesn’t seem to be competing in freestyle this season?

My question as well. Spratley, Ryder, and Facundo were names I was expecting to see. Figueroa as well, but maybe he just wants to focus on his final folkstyle season. Someone on another thread mentioned Cael Hughes may be injured so that could explain his absence.

Fun fact: Tagen and Swiderski met in the 138 lb finals at Fargo in 2021 with Tagen winning 7-2.

Does Wolbert not qualify for entry? Was expecting to see his name

Does Wolbert not qualify for entry? Was expecting to see his name

Does not qualify due to the disqualification for missing weight.

Lee Cothran (Dynasty Defined) tweeted that Fix will be cornering some of our guys this weekend 🤠

Anybody hear how his knee is? I seen he was on crutches after he got hurt at the Open.

That's a tremendous writeup Willie. Worthy of subscribing for those who don't. Heavy is one hell of a stacked weight this weekend.

 

[okokzach]

Hayden Simpson lost his first match in Greco (U23 130kg), then won his next two matches on the back side, both by fall. Was leading 4-0 and 7-4 in those matches. If he wins two more he'll place

 

[okokzach]

Simpson techs Jackson Mankowski 9-0 in 2:58, finishing it off with a 4-point throw.

 

[okokzach]

Simpson loses to Bruce Wagers in the blood round

How can we find who’s on deck and in the hole by Matt for this event?
I’m struggling this morning.

Then go to Bout Board. Anyone can use that login, I don't think it limits the number of users. I added our guys to 'My Wrestlers' so they'll be highlighted on the bout board and in the brackets.

 

[BD07]

Vega and Villasenor both won first matches. Vega tech.

 

[Poke1990]

Thanks Zach!!

 

[BD07]

Ish and Villasenor have tough ones coming up
Villasenor on deck mat 2 against Mack Mauger
Ish on deck mat 3 against Alessio Perentin

They may have changed it. I believe Villasenor is going to be next on mat 1.

 

[pokepelli]

This is very cool. Any way to highlight other non OSU studs that we should keep an eye on like the blazes and bassets of the world?

you're right, I think I mixed it up. Villasenor mat 1 and Ish mat 2

 

[BD07]

It happens. Thanks for the updates!

 

[chasepollard]

@okokzach you are the man! One of the MVPs of the board!

anyone can create their own login, it's free and can customize however. Someone on Intermat made this login and I took the liberty of adding the OSU guys haha

Also, I turned on alerts for results, so you can see results for our guys by hitting the little notification bell in the top right, or this page: https://www.usabracketing.com/my_account/messages/e1aac1b0-13d4-4f0c-bbc8-6f745238f79b/alerts

 

[okokzach]

Ronnie Ramirez not in the bracket. Anyone know why?

 

[okokzach]

Villasenor with a great 10-0 over Mack Mauger. At the Open, Ronnie beat Mauger 4-2 on the top side and then lost to Mauger 5-3 in the 3rd place match.
Ish dropped his match against Perentin, who Flo has ranked #3 at 165 (just ahead of Routledge).

 

[okokzach]

Ronnie Ramirez not in the bracket. Anyone know why?

and on the U23 side, no Tagen, Carter, or Jayce

 

[okokzach]

Vega falls to Manville 8-6. Manville looked strong and gave Vega problems especially from front headlock

 

[pokepelli]

Ross not wearing the shoulder strap. Didn’t he wear it at the Open?

 

[oklahomaglory]

Oh wow. Did not expect Vega to lose. Participating his first tournament after long time.

 

[okokzach]

Ross not wearing the shoulder strap. Didn’t he wear it at the Open?

Yup, you're right. He also switched to wearing a Cowboys singlet this time. It must have healing properties

 

[pokepelli]

has he been a part of the CWC prior to now?

 

[Cowboy_1988]

Good win for Sam Smith

 

[pokepelli]

Kolter Burton with a beautiful throw and fall.

 

[okokzach]

has he been a part of the CWC prior to now?

I think he's trained in Stillwater some prior to this, but he registers under Sebolt and that's whose singlet he wore at the Open.

 

[GableBeer]

Mat 3 free stream:

 

[okokzach]

Villasenor beats incoming Penn State freshman Nate Desmond 7-7 on criteria. Villasenor gave up a caution point with 1 second left for evading. He previously got a 4-pointer in the first period that gave him criteria.

Desmond is a sore loser and kept attacking WAY past the final whistle and Ignacio laughed at him and hit the guns up pose.

 

[alex1fly]

Cutter gets a win, Routledge blanked by Melvin Miller

Robideau up 8-4 over the 3 seed at the break

Bassett nearly breaks a dude in half, good lord

And somehow there’s yet another Mantanona wrestler? There’s like 10 of those dudes

Miller looked amazing. Going to be extremely tough for Robideau in the challenge finals. At 74, Jayden James just destroyed Joe Sealey. He could give Dee a real fight assuming he beats denny in the challenge finals.

Looking forward to those matches! We get multiple of them as well.
