Non Olympic Weight Trials Predictions?

[Masonbuckeye]

I think I would go:

61 KG: Vito (Maybe we see Gilman... but even still Vito if healthy plows through 61 again)

70 KG: Pantaleo (Could change if people like Nick Lee and Yianni are in the field) (Full size new hip James Green could be dangerous)

79 KG: Nolf (Carter and Marsteller will also be tough matchups here and if Ringer can make the weight again he looked the best he has in a while) (Also will JB show up?!?!)

92 KG: Valencia (Could change depending on if DT shows up, but Zahid is clearly the number 3 at 86 and he mowed through 92 trials last year)

On board with all of these wondering if we could see Aaron or DT maybe at 92 doubt both but potentially one of them I think Aaron will look to grow into 97 for 2028.

I would probably go Zain at 70 if he wrestles he may retire after the olympics or just opt to not wrestle at worlds but if he does I doubt he goes 65. Ladarion Lockett looked really really good at 74kg and I think hes pretty undersized for that weight so he may have a shot as well. Kaleb Larkin is another one I think could do very well I think the cut to 65 is pretty brutal for him. Overall if we keep the same guys in from the olympics aside from zain but flip in Lee/Alirez/Jesse/Yianni I think 70 is our only weight with an outside shot to medal unless zain goes very high hopes for both worlds and olympics.

Brooks can’t go this year, and if Zain qualifies 65 for the Olympics, he won’t be able to go either.

I believe Truzzcat was thinking toward future years, not this year.
