Below is a link to a nice article about NCAA champ Matt Lackey, who was picked by the U of I campus newspaper as one of the top 20 athletes of the decade.

Speaking of Matt...

I just got my NCAA tickets. Each of the six tickets has a photo image of a wrestler or wrestlers. The ticket for the final session has the distinctive image of Matt raising his arms after he won the NCAA championships. It's a good image, but I would prefer one of his footsweep with Letters flying upside down. That was sweep, er sweet.

And speaking of Illinois and NCAA championships...if I'm not mistaken, since Matt won the title Illinois has had two guys (Ott and Poeta) make the finals a total of four times (I still can't believe that Friedl didn't make it as a senior, or Alex one of three years). This would be a good year for Illinois to get another champion, say at 184. But there is a lot of tough competition at that weight.
