Hey guys, just checking in like I normally do, hoping to answer some questions and say hey to our Hokie Wrestling Faithful!! Most the boys are in town for another 5-6 days before the U20 and U23 guys(Seidel, Burton, Gorman, Nininger, and Mullen) take off for Geneva, Ohio to try and make a couple World Teams! After next weekend, most of the boys will head to their respective homes for some R&R and unplug, before coming back the 3rd week of June. From there we will have a 5 week training phase, which will include Summer 2 academically, freshman moving into dorms, 4 Robie Wrestling Camps, all while lifting and wrestling 5-6 days a week! Couple Highlights from the Spring: -Ryan Burton and Bo Bassett win U20 Titles (will wait for winner of WTT for best of 3 to make world team next Fri.) -Caleb Henson and Jimmy Mullen place 2nd and 5th in Sr. Level US Open...3 others make it to blood round (Gorman, Sasso, and Andonian) -Bo and James Green win Sr. US Open Titles and qualify for Final X -Caleb takes 2nd at WTT and will wrestle for a spot on National Team at Final X -Aaron takes 4th at WTT after losing in Semis to Jax who TF'd everyone else including Davino. Aaron TF'd the 3 seed Desanto (who earlier this season beat 4 different world or Olympic medalists to win a ranking series event) and then TF'd 2x AA and 5 seed in Consi Semis, before pulling out the 2nd day. -Hired 4x AA, 7x World Team Member, 2x world medalist, and former SERTC Athlete James Green (Greezy) -Another Hire officially coming in the next week. To Come: -Burton and Bo U20 Pan Ams July 8-10 Rio -Ranking Series Budapest Bo, James July 15ish -U20 Worlds (hopefully 4 Hokies) August 17-20 Slovakia -U23 Worlds (Bo and hopefully a couple more) Oct 15ish Vegas -Sr. Worlds Oct. 24-31 Astana, KAZ -SERTC Open Nov. 1st (LOL) Have an awesome holiday weekend and you know I will answer the questions I can. An exciting and busy summer for Hokie Wrestling. One sorta good thing is, we can't start technically recruiting 2028 recruits till next April, so no recruits in Lane this Fall, but you know I love locking those Future Hokies down, so hopefully some of these youngsters want to jump on board a little early. 5 for 5 got pushed a month, but sounds like its coming, which we love... Sorry to good so long winded, but dang there is so much fun stuff going on in Blacksburg!! Go Hokies!
