Mat Town I on Sunday

[NothingMeaningful]

No idea as to the accuracy of this, but trackwrestling has the following entries for Penn State:

Lucas Cochran
Timothy Levine
Kurt McHenry
Sean Wang

Brackets on Flo, showing only Cornell/Binghamton/Lock Haven entries. No video. Cornell entries don't match those announced by Cornell. Supposedly also includes Lehigh and Virginia.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Hopefully more schools than that are going. Lehigh and VA going too would be nice.

Can you send a link for the brackets I can't find them on Flo or Track

talk about a Cornel log jam at 174

 

[mcpat]

talk about a Cornel log jam at 174

Will do.

Cornell has a logjam at 174. They have nine guys wrestling at the weight in today’s Mat Town open. I assume it’s a wrestle off for the weight.

Baker started in their dual and went 3-0 at Journeymen, including a 4-0 dub over teammate Hansen. The senior appears to have the upper hand to be the starter at this point.

 

[dicemen99]

McHenry at 125
Wang at 133
Hayden at 133
Levine at 149
Cochran at 197

Hayden beats Foster Cardinale 10-3 in opener

Cochran potentially has Cardenas in semis

McHenry the 2 seed, Greg D the 1 at 125.

In my opinion the best Cornell 174 is Ruiz, who is greyshirting

 

[dicemen99]

McHenry up soon against Nick Treaster, who is at Navy Prep, I think.

Treaster wrestled at Clarion a few weeks back winning a couple of matches against nondescript opponents before falling to Jax by TF and the to Kilkeary 2-0.

He should cruise and then have Carson Wagner, who Steen beat handily last week, before getting Greg D in finals.

With Ramirez at 165 and Foca moving to 184, there's no room for all these guys anywhere except 174. Same with Cornella at 141 and Shapiro at 157, there are a bunch of decent guys at 149 (Saunders, Handlovic, Fernandez) who will fight it out today.

 

[dicemen99]

McHenry up 9-3 going into the 3rd and hangs on to win 10-9 after giving up a couple of stalling points.

 

[NothingMeaningful]

In my opinion the best Cornell 174 is Ruiz, who is greyshirting

And competing today for Spartan Combat. He and Baker are meeting in the quarterfinals soon.

 

[dicemen99]

Hayden pins Hartung (Freshman from NJ who never placed).

Has Ferrara from Cornell (Spartan) next. I believe Ferrara is a pretty nice recruit for the Big Red who won the Beast. Maybe @NothingMeaningful can comment more on him.

Are you at the tourney? Or is there a stream somewhere?

No stream, but all results in real time on Flo, including current match statuses.

 

[nerfstate]

No stream, but all results in real time on Flo, including current match statuses.

That's what I figured, but if Dice was there, I'd value his "eye test" assessment on McHenry. Coming back from injury? Not in competition shape (sounds possible w/ that last result), etc.

Not much, but he lost to Vince Santaniello at the Clarion Open in SV.

That's a pretty good result. I'd expect Hayden to be an underdog at this point.

No, just "watching" on Arena. No idea how he looked although it couldn't have been great.

Up 9-2, won 10-9 with two stalling points given up in the third period. That qualifies as "not great," right?

against a kid who is ranked around #150 or so.. No ,not a great match for him.

Not great, for sure, but McHenry giving up that big lead and the 3rd period stall points could indicate a gassing/conditioning issue.

 

[NothingMeaningful]

In my opinion the best Cornell 174 is Ruiz, who is greyshirting

Ruiz was beating Baker 4-1 when he apparently pinned Baker at 6:59. Pretty darned good.

 

[JimNazium]

Cornell has 9 wrestlers in the 174 bracket? Coach has to like that.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

All hail Davis! :-/

 

[dicemen99]

McHenry loses to Carson Wagner in OT. Looks like he is 4th string.

 

[El-Jefe]

McHenry lost to Wagner 4-1 SV.

McHenry chose neutral in the 3rd, down 1-0, and could only manage a stalling point.

 

[matter7172]

McHenry lost to Wagner 4-1 SV.

McHenry chose neutral in the 3rd, down 1-0, and could only manage a stalling point.

That's not good. I was hoping for a lot more from him, but many of these guys who have been wrestling in college for an unusual length of time seem to be worn down.

 

[wrestlingfan22]

Ruiz was beating Baker 4-1 when he apparently pinned Baker at 6:59. Pretty darned good.

He was really good in HS and had a great Clarion Open. He should be an AA level guy in a year or two if he develops like other top Cornell recruits have

 

[El-Jefe]

Hayden Cunningham loses 8-5 SV in the semis to Cornell's Ferrera.

 

[wrestlingfan22]

McHenry lost to Wagner 4-1 SV.

McHenry chose neutral in the 3rd, down 1-0, and could only manage a stalling point.

No excuses can be made about Mchenry being a 118 lber for this one. Wagner was in the state finals at 114 8 months ago. McHenry is either washed up or just very rusty/bad cut.

 

[dicemen99]

Hayden loses to Ferrera in OT, 8-5

 

[El-Jefe]

Cardenas 13-6 over Cochran. Cochran did score a 2nd period T3.

 

[Hofman19]

-4x NYSPHSAA State finalist/3x Champion (only loss was as a freshman in sudden victory to a Fargo All-American)

-Went undefeated last year, including winning the title at Beast of the East

-NYWN rated him as the #1 overall in-state recruit (ahead of a guy like Gallagher who is now nationally ranked after winning the Keystone Classic)!

 

[El-Jefe]

Cunningham F Ruiz 2:02, into the 3rd place match vs. Hartung.

 

[El-Jefe]

McHenry lost to Wagner 4-1 SV.

McHenry chose neutral in the 3rd, down 1-0, and could only manage a stalling point.

In contrast:

In the finals, Greg D. took down Wagner 3x before pinning him -- in 1:44.

 

[El-Jefe]

Cunningham TF Hartung 19-3, 6:25 for 3rd.

 

[dicemen99]

In contrast:

Steen almost majored Wagner earlier this year, 12-5.

And Greg D. isn't even the starter these days...
