Re: 2018 NCAA Wrestling Championships
And then there were four...
Four Jackrabbits still wrestling, but as expected, Gross is the only one with a chance to be a national champion.
Going in reverse order, with wrestlers still alive in Bold.
197: Rotert's upset by K. Conel was somewhat validated. Conel pinned topped ranked K. Moore from Ohio State in 1:30. It just shows how quick fates can turn in this sport. Rotert dominated Caywood of Army 9-3 in his first match of the day and followed up with a 4-3 victory over J. Smith of WVU with his next match. To qualify as an All-American, he will have to beat the #6 seed, William Miklus from Mizzou. At least two top eight seeds in this weight class will not become All-Americans. Hoping Rotert is not one of those two.
184: As stated earlier, Mueller went 0-2 yesterday and is a spectator the rest of the way.
174: Kocer is working his way through the consolation bracket today. He opened up with a 5-3 win over Christensen of Wisconsin. His second match resulted in a major decision with an 8-0 thumping of J. Johnson from Harvard. Next up is #8 Jadaen Bernstein of Navy. Winner will be an All-American.
157: Zilverberg lost 8-5 in the quarterfinals to A. Pantaleo of Michigan. Next up in his quest to become an All-American is unseeded Kennedy Monday of North Carolina.
141: Pohmeyer stuck his first opponent in the consolation bracket yesterday, but was handled by #5 K Jack of NC State. His seasons over, but success was qualifying for the NCAA's and picking up a pin.
133: Gross finally got to wrestle #8 M. Bridges from Wyoming. The two didn't wrestle in the dual last month so that Gross and Meredith could square off. Gross controlled Bridges 7-3. Unranked Tariq Wilson from NC State is standing between Gross and his quest for making the finals. Wilson has beat some very good opponents this season, but this would qualify as a major upset for him to beat Gross.
125: Brown ran into a buzz saw in #13 Z. Moisey from WVU. Moisey won 10-4 and then quickly dispatched a wrestler from Illinois. Expect big things from Brown in the future as this experience will pay dividends down the road.
