I will be leaving for St. Louis on Wednesday evening. I am excited to be there with some of my brother's... Looking forward to the opportunity to see Ohio St. Logan Stieber to win his 4th title. He has destroyed everyone this year. Technical fall in the finals of Big Ten Championships.

It was a blast and had lots of fun with my a few of my brother's. Iowa battled but Ohio State won the team title in the end. But to top it off, Logan Stieber became only the 4th wrestler ever to win 4 national titles (Which include: Cael Sanderson, Pat Smith, Kyle Dake). he teched and pinned his way to the finals and beat his guy 11-5 in the finals. Pure domination.

And even cooler event took place when Matt Brown of Utah (Cypress HS) becamse the first ever Return Missionary for the church to win a national title. Matt Brown was a 3X All American for Penn St. and Cael Sanderson. He signed originally with Iowa St. when Cael was there, and after his mission, he joined Cael out in Penn St. Could not have happened to a better guy. All around great person.. Below is his interview and his coaches praising him. He had been labeled the guy who would do this and it was a ton of pressure heaped on him, but as most champions. He overcame and prevailed.. Such a cool thing to witness. We cheered him on when he finally got th title he had been striving for all of his life.
Pretty cool interview of Matt Brown and his coaches:

Awesome interview on the Big Ten Network about the importance of mullet in wrestling. Sorry about the 15 second commercial before the vid.

So my 13-year-old is competing at the middle school district tournament today held at Centennial High School. This is his first year in the sport. He wrestled JV all season and did pretty well - going 6-2. His first match is against another kid that didn't have any varsity matches. The next round has a kid that went 7-1 in varsity matches. Double elimination tourney.

Originally posted by cowboy View PostHey! My son is wrestling regionals today! I hate wrestling from a spectator's perspective, but it's an excellent sport for teaching work ethic, discipline, and confidence. My family are all basketball people, so it's hard on us to see a wrestler, but he's done pretty well.
He lost his first match by pin in the first period. He thought he was bridging on his head but the official thought otherwise.
On to the consolation bracket. Best possible finish for him now is 3rd.

His second match is against a kid he lost against in his first match ever. The other kid controlled the match all the way through but they went to the third round before the other kid got the pin. Should be an interesting measure of how much he's progressed this year.
If he wins, he has to win four more matches to claim third place. If he loses, we get to go home and enjoy our Saturday. I'm torn.

I admittedly don't know the rules very well, but it seems like sometimes they take forever with what seems like an obvious pin while other times the whistles are very quick on questionable pins.
Either way, he probably wasn't going to win on points, but now he's just nonstop complaining about the "biased" official.

Sad day for those who had hope BYU Wrestling would eventually come back.
Was just informed that BYU told the BYU Wrestling Club is not allowed to compete and is being removed as a club sport. I feel for the coach who volunteered his time money and effort for free to build up the program and had such a great season last year with kids placing at Nationals.
I do not understand the reasoning for not supporting a club that has no negative but a positive impact on your school and those who attend BYU.
