2022 USMC US Open Wrestling Championships - Schedule - FloWrestling
Mens and Junior freestyle finals are on Saturday. Cadet finals are on Sunday and I believe they are best 2 out of 3 for the world team spot.
We only have a handful of entrants.
Steen 57kg U20 FS
Howard 57kg U20 FS
Facundo 74kg U20 FS
Haines 74kg U20 FS
Rodriguez 61kg MFS
Page 62kg WFS
Nolf 74kg MFS
Cochran 86kg U20 FS
There are some pretty good potential matchups. Howard vs Richie Figs, PSU on PSU crime with Haines and Facundo, and Nolf should smash the MFS 74kg field, which includes Gantt and Cam Amine. Jenn Page should be seeded across from Kayla Miracle and that should be the final.

And Nico.
I was only going with current NLWC and/or athletes who will be going to PSU next year.
God, I wish lol. Weight goblins start attacking your waistline at night once your athletic career is over and then boom! You’re winded just walking up the stairs
Hah! Time for a little horn tooting. I was still going on the mat live with the HS kids when I was 62 and holding my own. I have to admit that I have slowed down a bit since then.
I still wrestle with my guys live, the trick is to pin them in the first minute lol
what do you guys think of the haines-facundo match? I think i'd take haines. don't trust facundo's ability to score and haines will keep coming until he finds his way to a finish.
facundo too savvy defensively? size could be a factor too. i thought facundo looked enormous at 165 this year.
excited to see haines, facundo, and howard out there. 3 important pieces for your future. fingers crossed for an 0-6 showing haha
Yes, yes, and just too much everything at this point. I think it will tell us more about where Levi stands than vice versa. I'm not worried about Facundo.
I’m guessing Facundo has made a significant forward leap since we last saw him.
I was still scrapping hard until my ACL decided it was not gonna let me toss a off season HWT last June. I was 41. Often think about giving it another go but I'm pretty sure my knee wont take it even after a full ACL and meniscus reconstruction.
Spratley and Peterson may also be ones to watch at 57kg. Provo won a Fargo title and Flynn had a nice HS career.
As you age, you start doing cost benefit analysis re: seemingly innocent activities. Our office is into ultimate frisbee and pickle ball. I used to love ultimate and played tennis as a kid and for 2 years in high school so I was okay at it, but I can just envision a torn Achilles’ tendon (and the massive hassle rehabbing that would entail) and think better of it. I’m trying to find a safer activity where I can still compete in a way

I absolutely love Levi but would be shocked if he beat Facundo this weekend. A full season in the room getting beat on by CStar, Brooks, and Cunningham will have done wonders for Facundo I assume. Plus, freestyle seems to be Facundo’s best style. Haines is obviously good in freestyle as well but I actually think he’s better in folk because of his top game. End of next year once Levi has had a full season in the PSU room and all bets are off but right now I would put $ on Facundo. I really hope it happens though especially if it’s in the finals.
apparently former UFC champ urijah faber is wrestling 70kg masters right now
edit: someone named clay guida is at 78kg as well, but his mat doesn't have video so i can't confirm if it's the UFC clay guida.

Yah, I run through a cost/benefit analysis when I drop something. A penny, I'd probably leave it. A baby, I'd probably pick up (depending on whose and how heavy the baby is).
And how much you can get for the baby, of course.
I know there is a younger Guida wrestling. He is either wrestling at Askren or beat one of his guys at a tournament. I remember Ben talking about him. Not certain they are father/son but they are related as per Ben.
Race Pigeons
Facundo should beat Haines at this point in their careers especially since he is better at free than folk I believe.
Dude - if I drop something now, especially multiple things in a short time frame, I go “uh oh, Lou Gehrig’s disease”
If I forget something, I get paranoid about Alzheimer’s
Good post. Some of those older guys who still compete are gnarly dudes. I have a friend from WA, Brad Swartz, who won the world seniors gold medal in his age/weight class several times. He’s one guy I would not want to mess around with.
looks like this was the older one, wrestling in masters B. went 0-2.

I have FLO and watched. It was indeed UFC Clay Guida. He wrestled twice....lost both but had a big smile the entire time.
Wow, will Davis ever grow? My son used to wrestle him at 45, 55, 65lbs
