Nate McMillian Mt. Zion was good but dnp

Brad Owens Mt. Zion was good but dnp

Both Websters from Washington were good but I don't remember them placing at Nationals.

Jeremy Miller from Washington was good but quite freestyling later in his career.

I don't think the Morton studs ever freestyled.

Chicoine was very good also. IHSA State runner up to Carl Roessler (Provi). 1st period fall in the national finals. 5 point touch fall over the freestyle national champion. Full ride to Northwestern. Defeated 2 NCAA AAs in his juior year and then injued his back and had to have back surgury. Career ender.

Grant Hoerr was a good freestyle wrestler.
Brad Owens and Nate McMillan were better atcollegiate style than freestyle wrestling. As were the Websters!!

Miller was actually a better freestlyer than he was collegiate wrestler in my opinion!!

Looks like the Central area ha been dominated by Greco guys. Will Bybee be wrestling at Fargo this year?

Cast came off yesterday, he'll be on the mat in two weeks and Fargo is his #1 goal.

Besides teching that guy (JP O'Connor who is ranked 5th at 149 in the NCAA) he also beat Cuylor Sanderson 19-1 in their 2 meetings.

Indeed, Brett was amazing....and still is. When he gets himself healthy, we will start to see some of that brilliance on the collegiate and international level. Not only that, but hes a good kid too.....represents Central Illinois very, very well.

If I can keep him healthy, we'll see. We forgot about Tyler Clark, two years ago at Fargo he made the finals in both styles. An absolute awesome feat.
