Mizzou win was big.
Key wins were:
174 with Thompson, beat Muzzou guy who placed 8th (?) last year and was ranked 5th (?). Also beat Plott in dual meet last year. So big win, best match he has had so far. Will get to follow it up as SDS has very good guy at 174, ranked 4th. Also, match went to overtime, but it was Thompson who had moves that didn't quite score points, Mizzou guy didn't get close. Maybe Thompson gets to be an AA.
125, with Spratley inning against highly ranked guy. That and his win against ASU guy were his best wins. He had lost against most other really solid 125 pounders this year (exception is Lehigh guy).
157, with Travis beating Mauller. Mauller placed lat year at 149. So with win over NCS guy he has beaten 2 AA from last year. And this is from guy who basically moved up from 149 to 157 because he couldn't start at 149. He is a small 157 pounder, and that hurt him against ASU guy, but he looks like an AA to me.
We were underdogs in all 3 of those matches. Those 3 gave us the win, as it resulted in 18 point swing.
Key loss was 285. If Doucet could beat Elam, really helps his chances aof being an AA.
After Mizzou, we have 2 guys who look like a lock for AA (Fix and Plott), 1 guy who is very likely Olejnik (but for fact 165 is so brutal, he would be a lock), and 5 guys ( Spratley, Jamison, Travis, Thompson, and Doucet) with a good shot. Williams has talent and is wrestling better, but has not had a really good win yet. Surber has not wrestled enough to know. If he is even a little better than he was last year, he can AA.
