Getting to train and compete with the national team is the real benefit as he begins to make the move down to 57kg to try and make the Olympic team.
Don’t love the call for Chance there so do we call it square now and say matches 1 and 3 were crap and chance won the second fair and square.
Chance won it. Well deserved on his part. He always worked hard since he was a kid. Got into some hard times but never ever gave up. Happy for him!
Really good story. Regardless of what happened here that is a kid who battled demons. Really neat moment for him.

At OSU, he was suspended because of alcohol use and partying from what I remember.
At Lock Haven, he was arrested.
I believe around that same time he’s said he was on pain killers and still drinking, but I don’t remember the specifics.
Then he went to rehab and basically turned it all around.

And I don’t think this was a case of cultural partying issues with the team. This was more specific to the individual. Regardless it’s unfortunate things didn’t work out differently when he was in Stillwater bc I think he could have been up there with some of the best to come through the doors. Happy to see him have this kind of success though. I remember him AA’ing his senior year. I think that was a few years ago, anyway I just remember how emotional he was and him talking about his long journey to get there. Well deserved.
It was remarkable, and it was also clearly a part of his downfall with us.
If I recall 165 was Dieringer, not sure he was taking that spot.
Chance gave an interview in March of his true freshman year. Said he went against Alex all season and only had 1 takedown. The first time he wasn't able to take someone down in practice.
The following season his options were to sit behind Alex or drop and try for 157. Both Chance and Ryan Blees tried for 157. Joe Smith beat them both at an early season open. In January, Joe's redshirt was pulled and Chance got suspended.
Glad it worked out for him. Nice redemption story.

He was a blue chipper and one of the best HS recruits in the country. Was a big get for us but he had an all timer at his preferred weight.
Absolutely. Wasn’t saying there was a hole somewhere else for him and I don’t think he was “forced” to go 157, but it definitely was too much of a cut for him as he said later on. Unfortunately the other option was ride the bench or try and beat Crutchmer at 174, who ended up an AA that season. Just bad timing for him.
And 2 hour weigh-ins start this season.
USAW article says Brayden Thompson is also competing (86 kg). So 3 wrestlers & 2 coaches (Fix & Guerrero) going. Nice representation by the CWC.
