Seidel Forfeited
Looks like Aaron forfeited out of his 3rd place match with Desanto. Any word on injuries? I know he pulled out of the US Open for a minor injury, so wondering if that got tweaked...

The trainer was working on his right calf during the Desanto match.
Not sure if it's related to that or the minor injury he's nursed over the past couple months. Hopefully, it's precautionary.

Bummer. Foremost hope he is ok…
Unfortunate bc I believe they wrestle for 3rd & true 3rd at Final X as I believe Top 3 are officially part of the US team & get to train with the team.

My completely uneducated guess…
Not injured, but the coaches didn’t see much value in wrestling Desanto again before wrestling Davino. Davino would’ve had a big advantage since he had fewer matches and would’ve been much better rested. Perhaps the biggest factor may have been having to make weight again.

Agree injury or having to make weightmay have been the issue-but wrestling
another match would not be an issue as true 3rd place vs. Davino (if Seidel beat Desanto again) would be at Final X. Just like Henson vs. Robideau. ** Edited by 133966Hokie at 5/16/2026, 12:10:54 PM

So they wouldn’t have wrestled for true second for the WTT?

By making the U20 team he gets all of the same benefits as senior national
team member. No reason to weigh in again when he can just focus on U20's
