In honor of Ty Walz returning
Along with all the great memories of his big wins and valiant effort in some losses (2016 semis vs Snyder), my favorite was him meeting Harper Potter, his biggest fan and the tearjerking surprise for her.
I think even Kyle Snyder commented how awesome that was.
Along with the talent, having that spirit will be a good fit for the program and incoming class. Along with the wins I hope to see more of those type of moments.
Welcome (back) Home Ty Walz.

Perhaps, but we just saw James Green who's older win the US Open. Both
are D1 assistant coaches at top tier programs, so we'll see.

Coaching HS takes a lot of time and dedication
kudos to HB to coaching and no shame in handing it over

in 2017 lost to Joey Dance
in Freestyle, although he was close to getting the last points for a tech fall, and Joey stepped over and caught him on his back. I was scratching my head when I saw the name again. It looks like he was trying to get into Iowa State but having to sue the NCAA for eligibility.

From what I've seen (and just heard) TJ will likely improve
I get it that we should never take anything for granted and when a young wrestler places nothing is guaranteed the following years. We could also look at the blood round opponent he beat, Chris Foca who finished 3rd last year, Taylor Venz of Nebraska, and the list goes on - as they say that's why they wrestle the matches.
He's got the right attitude and approach, and I think he hit his stride only in the last two-three months of the season (going back the past 2 seasons). If he has settled into 184 as his weight, that could help a lot too. Hopefully him and Sonny Sasso make good workout partners and a nice one-two for years to come.

Austin Gomez has quite the story
Always goes for big moves and makes it exciting
started at ISU, I remember in 2018 he beat villain Austin DeSanto, he almost got the pin which would have won ISU the dual
beat Vito in Freestyle
retired for the first time for concussions
resumes his career at Wisconsin, wins the big 10 over Ridge Lovett (who Caleb Henson just beat), has not just one, but two epic NCAA matches with Bryce Andonian
next year starts really hot beating Yianni Diakamaholis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho4xedD8FQo
but finishes the year with something off watching two guys he beat win titles (something I can relate to)
retires a second time
gets another year granted by the NCAA to compete at the age of 26 due to earlier injuries
this year (4 weeks ago) in freestyle, for Mexico he qualifies for the Olympics
now resumed his college career with his first finals appearance tonight.
I am excited!

It's not that Lovett is bad on bottom, its that he is that good on top
in the earlier matches he kept Henson, and pretty much everyone else down w/o giving up an escape, and Henson would normally choose bottom again almost anyone else. Keep in mind Lovett was 15 seconds away from getting the riding time point which would have tied it. I understand Lovett's choice and Henson had to earn it, which makes the win that much more special.

Seems like TJ is hitting his stride now
It seems like getting more matches at the GMU open will be good learning experience and help him be the better wrestler going into the post season. I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Good to see Jenna Burkert back in action
saw she won against the All World team at the UWW World Cup. Wasn't sure how bad that injury was so glad to see she's recovered and competing again.
