  2. Sebastian Rivera at the 2022 NCAA Championships (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) To steal the line from last year's FCW Top-20 Articles, everyone knows 125 Pat Glory, 133 Roman Bravo-Young, 174 Carter Starocci, 184 Aaron Brooks, and 285 Gable Steveson are bonus point monsters, and this season they totaled 283 Fpts. Top names and all NCAA Champions or Finalists (Nick Suriano did not make the Top-20). But here's five names that totaled 328 Fpts: 125 Caleb Smith (APP), 133 Joshua Koderhandt (NAVY), 174 Logan Messer (GMU), 184 Jonathan Loew (COR), and 285 Ben Goldin (PENN). This group only has one All-American (Loew finishing 8th). And as I say every year, that's the beauty and frustration of Fantasy Sports. Sometimes your top performers are not "household names." So, with that, let's take a look at this past season's Top-20 at each weight to help give you an early start to win each week this coming year. To compile these lists, we used standard WrestleStat Fantasy College Wrestling Data & Scoring. Just a reminder of how points were tallied in WrestleStat leagues: 1) The scoring used was Standard Team Scoring across all competitions (+3 for a win by decision, -4 for a loss by Major, etc) 2) Scoring only counted against D1 competition 3) Wins via Forfeits (FFT) would count as +6 towards a wrestler's point total 4) Wins or Losses by Medical Forfeit (MFF) did not count as + or - towards a wrestler's point total 5) Points were only accumulated during the regular season Notes: The #1 overall Fantasy Wrestler for the 2022 season was Sebastian Rivera with a staggering 4.9 PPM. Only one other wrestler had a higher PPM, because Sebastian seemed to not want to pin anyone this year (just “nearly” pin them). He led the nation in Tech Falls with 13 of his 22 matches, and was held to only one Decision by Quinn Kinner. Winning the #2 spot over last year's 141 #1 Fantasy Wrestler Clay Carlson by 0.6 PPM was Grant Willits and his seven Pins (and one FFT). After losing twice at CKLV, Willits went on to win the rest of his 14 matches to end the regular season, 10 of them by bonus. After the Top 3, there was a steep drop-off in points. Cole Matthews, powered by Primanti Bros, amassed five pins in his 15 wins in the regular season. Compare that to his previous three seasons, including his 2019 Redshirt, where he had only six pins in 48 total wins. Both NCAA finalists find themselves in the Top-20, with Champion Nick Lee making his third straight Top-20 list and Kizahn Clarke just barely squeaks in by one point. In 2020, Clarke (while a 149 lber at American University) was the #7 overall fantasy wrestler across all weights. Nick Lee this season, had the fewest matches wrestled within the top 32 wrestlers at 141. Speaking of regular season match counts, Maryland's Ethen Miller tied Seth Koleno of Clarion with 32 regular season matches, and about the same number of D1 matches as well along with the same number of D1 losses (six each, both totaling -21 Fpts). These two did meet early in the season, with Koleno besting Miller 6-3, but it was Miller with the one-point edge at the end of the day to finish 5th at 141. Taking out two top-ranked wrestlers in Andrew Alirez and Stevan Micic on his way to an 8th Place All-American finish, CJ Composto started off a little rocky with three losses (and two Medical Forfeits) in 13 matches. But after securing the starting spot, he rattled off nine straight wins, five by bonus. Josh Mason finished the regular season 15-8 against D1 competition, with 10 of those wins being Pins to get him to the #17 spot. What's even crazier, half of his losses were by pin as well (-24 Fpts) which means had he “only” lost those four matches by decision, he would have ended up as the #5 Fantasy Wrestler at 141. Six of the eight All-Americans at 141 made the Top 20. Who Missed The Cut: The two All-Americans to miss the cut were Real Woods (STAN) and Jake Bergeland (MINN). Surprisingly enough, they finished #37 (23 Fpts) and #38 (22 Fpts) respectively. Woods's late start and a string of decisions account for him falling outside the Top-20 and Bergeland had a smattering of losses throughout the regular season that held him back. Ian Parker (ISU), who himself had a late start to the season, finished tied with Woods but had the better PPM (2.3 compared to 1.5). The scrutiny of what weight will Yianni Diakomihalis go overshadowed the other potential wrestlers of that weight class equation, Joshua Saunders (COR) and Cole Handlovic (COR). Handlovic ended with a negative total Fpts total, but Joshua Saunders fell one point short of the leaderboard to finish #21. Wrestling 10 regular season matches and finishing with 10 Fpts was Michigan's Stevan Micic. Even though he was one takedown away from being an All-American this past season, he was nowhere near close to breaking into the Top-20 for fantasy purposes. Other notables include Allen Hart (MIZZ) at #25 with 34 Fpts, Quinn Kinner (RID) at #26 with 33 Fpts), Ryan Jack (NCST) at #31 with 29 Fpts, and Joey Zargo (WISC) at #45 with 18 Fpts.
  3. Two-time Junior National champion Joshua Barr (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Earlier this week, the Junior Men's freestyle tournament in Fargo concluded with a great set of finals. Those matches provided some surprising outcomes and, as a result, some history was made. Just how much? We have found some "firsts" and notable facts and trends associated with the tournament, its champions, All-Americans, and teams. As with anything historical pertaining to Fargo, this couldn't be possible without Jason Bryant's Fargo Almanac, which is an incredible resource. For the first time in Junior freestyle, two Idaho natives met in the championship finals. Mack Mauger defeated Kolter Burton for the title at 106 lbs. Speaking of Idaho, they had multiple champions for the first time since 2006. Mauger and Aden Attao (285) were victorious this year. 2006 marked the last time more than one Idaho wrestler claimed a stop sign. They were Adam Hall (152), Kirk Smith (171), and Clayton Foster (189). Four Idaho natives made the finals, which is a feat the state had never achieved previously. Along with Mauger, Burton, Attao, Rylan Rogers also made the finals at 195 lbs. Two wrestlers came away with their second stop signs in Junior Freestyle. Hunter Taylor (113 lbs) and Joshua Barr (170 lbs). For the second consecutive year, a representative from Michigan won the Junior freestyle title at 170 lbs. Barr did so this year, after Manny Rojas won in 2021. Looking at Barr's 2021 title run; the wrestler he defeated in the finals, Aiden Riggins, went on to win Junior's this year. His semifinal opponent was Braeden Scoles, who finished third at 160 lbs this year. The third place finisher from that bracket was Rocco Welsh, who Barr faced in this year's finals. Cory Land's title at 132 lbs made him only the second Alabama native to win Junior freestyle. The first was Sam Latona (106) in 2017. Cody Chittum became the second wrestler from Tennessee to grab a title in Junior freestyle. The only other one was by Elijah Oliver (113) in 2013. Traditional power, Illinois, failed to produce a champion for the first time since 2009. They did have three wrestlers in the finals who suffered losses. Deion Johnson (113), Kannon Webster (132), and Dillan Johnson (285) all finished second. Webster was the only returning Junior freestyle champion that lost in the finals. A pair of wrestlers from Missouri's Liberty High School won Junior freestyle titles. Taylor at 113 and Kyle Dutton at 145 lbs. Iowa's Waverly-Shell Rock had two, as well. Ryder Block (138) and Aiden Riggins (160). Both will be teammates at the University of Iowa. The Liberty wrestlers gave Missouri multiple titles for the first time since 2008. That year, Ryan Mango (112), Justin Forrest (119), and Matt Lester (145) were all champions. Kyle Dutton's title marked the first Junior national championship for a Little Rock signee. Team Iowa had four national champions; Nate Jesuroga (120), Block (138), Riggins (160), and Hill (220). The last time Iowa had four in a single year was 1983. Those include: Mark Schwab (105.5), Corey Mills (114.5), Royce Alger (154), and Mike Van Arsdale (165). Two wrestlers from Team Iowa squared off at 220 lbs. The last time that Iowa had two wrestlers meet in the finals was in 1987 with Bart Chelesvig defeating Greg Butteris at 178 lbs. This time, Bradley Hill edged Kolby Franklin. Both will wrestle together at the University of Iowa. Iowa finished with the team title and 13 All-Americans. You actually don't have to go back very far to find the last time they hit that figure. 2018. The difference was this team had four champions and a runner-up, along with four third-place finishes. That squad had one champ, two runner's-up, and three-thirds. With Tyler Garvin's title at 100lbs and TJ Stewart's at 182 lbs last year, Maryland had back-to-back years with Junior champions for the first time since 1980 and 1981. Those titles were won by Louis Chiapparelli (154 - 1980) and Rico Chiapparelli (154 - 1981). Kansas had three All-Americans; Easton Taylor (138 - 4th), Tucker Cell (138 - 5th), and Blake Jouret (182 - 8th) for the first time since 2010. Those AA's were Taylor Moeder (135 - 4th), Brandon Charbonneau (135 - 6th), and Kyle Caylor (215 - 7th). Moeder and Charbonneau also represent the last two Kansas natives who AA'ed in the same weight class, before Taylor/Cell. Max Agresti took fourth at 220 lbs and gave Delaware its first All-American since 2013. In both 2012 and 2013, Brent Fleetwood was fifth at 113 lbs. Jeremiah Price's eighth place finish at 152 lbs made him North Carolina's first Junior AA since 2013 when Kacee Hutchinson was fourth at 220 lbs. Surprisingly, New York had multiple All-Americans for the first time since 2016. Max Gallagher (126 - 5th) and Casper Stewart (138 - 8th) accounted for the two AA's this year. Florida had three All-Americans; Brendon Abdon (160 - 7th), Sawyer Bartelt (220 - 3rd), Ethan Vergara (285 - 3rd). The last time Florida had three was in 2011 when they had five. The University of Michigan had five recruits earn All-American status. Two pairs of them competed in the same weight class. Beau Mantanona was the runner-up at 145 lbs, while Dylan Gilcher was sixth. At 195 lbs, Rylan Rogers was a finalist and Hayden Walters was fourth. The Ironman award for Junior Freestyle belongs to New Jersey's Lorenzo Norman. Norman lost in the opening round to Arizona's Dalton Loyden (10-0), then reeled off 11 consecutive wins to take third place! As you would expect, his final three wins came over All-Americans, but prior to that, he defeated four top-150 recruits (3 top 100's). Only five of the 15 weights were won by graduated seniors. 132 (Land), 145 (Dutton), 152 (Chittum), 160 (Riggins), 220 (Hill). The only state that put a wrestler on every step of the podium was California. There were two states which had three All-Americans at the same weight. The all-Idaho finals at 106 lbs also had Dedrick Navarro in fifth place. Three representatives from Iowa got on the podium at 100 lbs with Jayden Rinken (3rd), Tyler Harper (4th), and Reid Foster (7th).
  4. Austin DeSanto before the 2022 NCAA Semifinals (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Here we are, at the All-Star break and do you know what that means? Good, neither do I. It doesn't mean anything, other than that it's going to stay scorching hot for at least a few more weeks. I hope all of you Fargo'ers enjoyed your week in North Dakota. Before we get started, I just want to throw out a big thank you to all the coaches who have worked your butts off coaching all these girls and boys throughout the week. Your dedication and selflessness to the sport is unparalleled. To be running around the FargoDome all day getting these kids prepared for their matches while nursing a constant hangover from all the nighttime beers is truly an inspiration to guys like me. It's you coaches who keep the sport going while passing down decades of knowledge to the next generation so they can pay it forward when it's their time to stumble into a hot arena to sit in the corner with a fresh cup of coffee. The sport is in good hands with the men and women who lead these teams and I couldn't be more proud of you all. Even the Flo crew deserves praise for working their tails off all week to bring you all the matches at home for the folks who couldn't make it there. It's a gigantic tournament and I know the Flo crew has worked tirelessly to bring you the best product that they could. For all the criticism I give, I'm not sure there's another wrestling company out there that can provide this kind of coverage for such a large endeavor. Kudos to you. Okay, on to the important stuff. Would you rather fight: 1. One Earl-sized Willie 2. 100 Willie-sized Earls @FloLegalKaren I don't know how you guys do things in Austin, but we at Intermat HQ do not discriminate by size. Nor do we fight each other. That being said, I'll take one Earl-sized Willie. Have you seen the last episode of Games of Thrones season six? Those little kids absolutely swarm on Maester Pycelle at the end. I don't need that kind of madness going on with me. Will the fallout with Ferrari force John Smith out? @LMRMock I certainly hope not. I'm in no position to really speak on this situation from a legal standpoint, nor am I privy to what went on behind closed doors over there, but I hope the GOAT can walk away on his own terms and not be stained by this sickening situation that we've heard so much about. Do you know any legitimate dialogue between Northern Iowa and Iowa for a dual? Can they meet at all this year? I'm a dumb-dumb; are there National Duals? @MTorriero I know nothing of any such dialogue or what the problem is with scheduling a dual between these teams. I do know that there are National Duals again and they will be taking place in New Orleans. What's the best world-class chain to wear? How do you feel about Austin DeSanto after his international debut in Poland? Seth Petarra Can't ever go wrong with the classic rope chain. It worked at my seventh-grade dance in 1991 and it works now. Just a timeless piece of New Jersey jewelry. I am absolutely thrilled with the return of ADS to the mat. His high-motor style that relies heavily on takedown is tailor-made for freestyle and I'm glad he's decided to give it a shot. Always a lightning rod for controversy, Austin became not-so-liked outside of Iowa City in these last few years. Now we all get to cheer for him on the international scene where we can appreciate how talented he really is. The best Jersey-style subs are in Iowa. Any thoughts? @colinsonofmike That's a bold statement. As Lance from Pulp Fiction said, I'll give our subs the Pepsi challenge against that Iowa sh*t any day of the week. Anyone can throw a bunch of meat and cheese together, but it's the bread that makes the sandwich. We here on the east coast specialize in bread. I'm not sure that midwest water has the proper pollution to make a perfect loaf. It takes centuries of proper dumping into the river to perfect it and I'm not sure you folks out there are careless enough to pull it off. One day I'll make my way out there and see what all the talk is about. Any new bold predictions to make that will come true? Pelikan Head I predict that before the 2023 season ends you will reveal your true identity Which active NCAA wrestler has the best physique? Old School Wrestling Clips Is Boo Dryden back? There's nothing I appreciate more than a seven-foot 133-pounder. As a bean pole myself, I can appreciate the effort it takes to maintain that kind of physique. Finally, my guy @jkos11 would like to know how I feel about time zones. Yes, we need time zones. Get earth to stand still for a minute and maybe we can talk about eliminating them. Until then, keep getting up in the middle of the night to watch freestyle tournaments from the Eastern Bloc. Enjoy the weekend, everyone! Stay cool, stay hydrated, and don't worry, there's plenty of wrestling on the horizon to whet your whistle.

  7. Oklahoma State's 3x NCAA runner-up Daton Fix (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) To steal the line from last year's FCW Top-20 Articles, everyone knows 125 Pat Glory, 133 Roman Bravo-Young, 174 Carter Starocci, 184 Aaron Brooks, and 285 Gable Steveson are bonus point monsters, and this season they totaled 283 Fpts. Top names and all NCAA Champions or Finalists (Nick Suriano did not make the Top-20). But here's five names that totaled 328 Fpts: 125 Caleb Smith (APP), 133 Joshua Koderhandt (NAVY), 174 Logan Messer (GMU), 184 Jonathan Loew (COR), and 285 Ben Goldin (PENN). This group only has one All-American (Loew finishing 8th). And as I say every year, that's the beauty and frustration of Fantasy Sports. Sometimes your top performers are not "household names." So, with that, let's take a look at this past season's Top-20 at each weight to help give you an early start to win each week this coming year. To compile these lists, we used standard WrestleStat Fantasy College Wrestling Data & Scoring. Just a reminder of how points were tallied in WrestleStat leagues: 1) The scoring used was Standard Team Scoring across all competitions (+3 for a win by decision, -4 for a loss by Major, etc) 2) Scoring only counted against D1 competition 3) Wins via Forfeits (FFT) would count as +6 towards a wrestler's point total 4) Wins or Losses by Medical Forfeit (MFF) did not count as + or - towards a wrestler's point total 5) Points were only accumulated during the regular season Notes: For the second year in a row, Daton Fix sits as the #1 Fantasy Wrestler at 133 with a PPM of 4.5, powered by five regular-season pins. Unlike last year, where a 133 wrestler did not finish in the Top-33 Overall, Daton Fix was the #16 Overall Fantasy Wrestler in 2022. National Champ Roman Bravo-Young comes in at #7, which means he has finished in the Top-10 at 133 in each of the last three seasons. Though, this season he fell well below his ADP of 15.21 (was the #54 Fantasy Wrestler Overall). He had the least amount of matches wrestled at 133 to make the Top-20 this season. At the start of the season, Coach Chandler had noted that Rayvon Foley was possibly going to be at 133. Well, from a Fantasy perspective it worked out stupendously as Foley racked up 75 Fpts and the #2 spot at 133. Foley started off with what would be considered an upset loss to Tony Madrigal, but would go on to only have two losses and a regular season bonus rate of 52%. Although, he did not have a pin all season (regular and post). True freshman Joshua Koderhandt tied Foley on points, but was 0.2 short on PPM due in large part to his loss by tech against Dylan Ragusin. Koderhandt did beat 4th place finisher Michael McGee by one point and 5th place finisher Lucas Byrd by six Fpts. Maryland lands two wrestlers on the list, the starter King Sandoval and his backup Jackson Cockrell. Sandoval was 15-13 in the regular season, which at first you wouldn't think would be a record to be in the Top-20 of 224 wrestlers considered. But when you have 13 of those 15 wins being by pin, it's just enough to break that threshold. Cockrell went about it the traditional way, going 21-7 in D1 matches with “technically” no bonus (I consider wins by FFT, DQ, INJ, and MFF as wins by bonus, so I say he had three bonus wins this season). Both Terrapins finished this season with 41 Fpts. Two Redshirts made the list at 133, Ohio's Alex Gonzales with 48 Fpts and Bucknell's Dylan Chappell with 44. Both Redshirts finished better than All-Americans Austin DeSanto and Devan Turner as well as perennial Fantasy All-Star Codi Russell. Seven All-Americans made the 2022 Top-20 at 133. Who Missed The Cut: The only All-American to not make the Top-20 was Chris Cannon (NW) who finished at #27. He missed the first month of competition, which is one reason why he probably wasn't closer to making the list. That and having a bonus rate of about 20% didn't help. Drew Mattin (MICH) and Matt Ramos (PUR) fell one point short of the Top-20. Matt Ramos put in an impressive Freshman campaign as the starter, at a weight above where he probably should have been, and made it as a 26th seed to the bloodround. A regular season record of 13-5 and a bonus rate of about 27% lands Micky Phillippi (PITT) at the #34 spot. The 5 regular season losses Micky had this season are more than he has had in his past three starting seasons (3). Other notables missing the cut include Joey Oliveri (RUT) at #33 with 32 Fpts, season pin leader contender Anthony Sobotker (BING) at #39 with 30 Fpts, Ramazan Attasauov (ISU) at #44 with 27 Fpts, and Sammy Alvarez (RUT) at #47 with 22 Fpts.
  8. Carina Giangeruso 132 lb 16U national champion; New Jersey's first (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Earlier this week, we unveiled some fun facts and trends from the 16U men's freestyle tournament. Here are some from the 16U women's tournament. This event continues to evolve, perhaps more than any other tournament Fargo because of which the rate that high school/college wrestling is growing for young women. Also, some of the holdouts have finally sanctioned girls HS wrestling (what's the holdup on the others?). Because of these changes, expect to see this tournament change in the coming years, because of new pockets of wrestling opportunities available for young girls. None of this was more evident than Iowa winning a team title and traditional powerhouse California taking third, behind Missouri. As with anything historical pertaining to Fargo, this couldn't be possible without Jason Bryant's Fargo Almanac, which is an incredible resource. For the second consecutive year, a woman from Indiana captured the championship at 100 lbs. This year it was Rianne Murphy and in 2021 it was Makenzie Smith. It's only the third 16U title by an Indiana native. Molly Allen claimed the title at 112 lbs. She is only the third Iowa native to win at 16U. The first was Rachel Watters at 143 lbs in 2013. Carina Giangeruso won the first championship by a 16U woman from New Jersey. To win, she needed to defeat Lauren Walton of Kentucky. Had Walton won, it would have been Kentucky's first title. Sarah Henckel captured only the second 16U title by a Connecticut woman. The first was Cara Broadus in 2016. Last year, Nebi Tsarni became the first Maryland woman to win a 16U national title. That makes her the first Maryland native to win multiple 16U titles, which she did by taking the stop sign at 144 lbs. Another repeat champion was Ella Pagel of Minnesota at 164 lbs. Last year, Nagel won both 16U and Junior titles. Pagel and Skylar Little Soldier joined Emily Shilson as the only two-time 16U national champions from Minnesota. At 180 lbs, Sabrina Nauss won her second consecutive 16U title. Led by eight All-Americans (1 champion), Iowa won their first team championship. That stopped a run from 2012 where California won every team title. In the history of the 16U women's tournament, Iowa only had 15 All-Americans from 2011-2021. This year they had more than half of that total with eight. Runner-up Missouri established a new state high with nine All-Americans. In 2019, they put eight on the podium, which tied the previous high of eight from 2017. Tennessee's Piper Fowler became the state's second-ever 16U finalist. Last year, Genesis Gilmore made the 152 lb finals and became the first. Ciara Riner took seventh place at 127 lbs for Team West Virginia. That made Riner the first 16U All-American representing her state. Virginia had a trio of All Americans with Mia Galindo (100 - 7th), May Cuyler (144 - 4th), and Taylor Waddy (180 lbs - 8th). The last time that Virginia had three or more 16U women's All-Americans was in 2015, when they had four. Coming into this tournament, Oklahoma had only produced six 16U All-Americans in the entire history of the women's event and never had more than one in a single year. In 2022, they had three; Bella Williams (117 - 3rd), Kali Hayden (180 - 2nd), Symphony Velez (180 - 6th). 35 states had at least one All-American. That's up from 2021 with 31 and 2019 with 33.

  11. New Chattanooga assistant coach Kyle Massey (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) CHATTANOOGA – Head Wrestling Coach Kyle Ruschell announced the addition of Kyle Massey to the staff on Wednesday afternoon. Ruschell and Massey reunite after competing together at the University of Wisconsin. “I'm thrilled to announce the addition of Kyle Massey to my staff,” said Ruschell. “From our days as teammates at Wisconsin through his four years coaching at Columbia, he not only has my trust but also has unique qualifications making him the perfect fit for the direction of this program.” Massey will make the trip to the Scenic City after spending four years as an assistant coach at Columbia University where he worked primarily with the upper weight classes. “I am incredibly excited to be a part of the Chattanooga Wrestling program,” said Massey. “Coach Ruschell and his staff have built something very special here and I hope to assist them in continuing to develop Southern Conference Champions and All-Americans. Go Mocs!” Prior to Columbia, Massey was a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Michigan during the 2012-13 season. He began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant and strength coach at the University of Wisconsin from 2010-12. Massey was a resident athlete from 2013-15 at the Cliff Keen Wrestling Club in Ann Arbor, Mich. for two years where he competed internationally at the 125-kg weight class. Massey earned the silver medal at the 2013 Guelph Open. From 2015-18, he coached for the Badger Regional Training Center before making the move to New York to join the Lion's wrestling staff. “We have some exciting changes and additions to our lineup and having a "big guy" who's able to challenge them on the mat and contribute to their growth and knowledge of the sport will make a huge difference for us,” Ruschell added. “We're gearing up for a really fun season for the Mocs!” The former Wisconsin Badger heavyweight was a 2008 All-American after finishing eighth at the NCAA Championships. That year he posted a 30-10 record and ended the season on an 11-match dual winning streak. He was selected to compete in the 2008-09 NWCA All-Star Classic. Massey concluded his collegiate career with an 84-32 record. He earned his bachelor's degree in Life Science Communications.

  13. Little Rock signee Kyle Dutton; 145 lb champion (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Tuesday afternoon saw the conclusion of the Men's Junior freestyle tournament in Fargo. As one would expect, there were plenty of future stars in competition, showing off their talents. The floor of the FargoDome is typically lined with college coaches, either scouting future prospects or keeping tabs on their current recruits. In the coming days and weeks, we'll likely hear of new commitment based on performance and contact in Fargo. Before then, we're going to look at recruits who have either signed or verballed to compete at the next level, that got onto the Junior freestyle podium in Fargo yesterday.

  14. Lock Haven 125 lber Anthony Noto (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) When the final whistle blows at the national tournament, fans usually get up from their seats and rush for the exits to try and get a table at a nearby watering hole. Most of the time, the walk and talk is about who was most dominant, who choked, or who had that terrible call go against them. For me, I start running through what wrestlers I don't have to ever worry about again for the upcoming #FantasyCollegeWrestling season. Nick Suriano? Nicky No-More. Sebastian Rivera? See ya later. Greg Bulsak? Bye Bye. Gable Steveson?... probably, possibly, maybe. It's a business mindset and you have to start your research early for that draft in October. This year though, we took a little time off… longer than usual (as you can see by the time of these articles). Behind the scenes the Fantasy D1 crew has been working on a few projects I think you all are going to enjoy, but that's a reveal for September (stay tuned). But now we are back, getting that #FantasyCollegeWrestling itch and starting to sift through the data for a season passed. To look forward in strategy, you have to look at the past and history trends to 1) recognize targets for your draft strategy and 2) create your shortlist for in-season stashes and add/drops. To steal the line from last year's FCW Top-20 Articles, everyone knows 125 Pat Glory, 133 Roman Bravo-Young, 174 Carter Starocci, 184 Aaron Brooks, and 285 Gable Steveson are bonus point monsters, and this season they totaled 283 Fpts. Top names and all NCAA Champions or Finalists (Nick Suriano did not make the Top-20). But here's five names that totaled 328 Fpts: 125 Caleb Smith (APP), 133 Joshua Koderhandt (NAVY), 174 Logan Messer (GMU), 184 Jonathan Loew (COR), and 285 Ben Goldin (PENN). This group only has one All-American (Loew finishing 8th). And as I say every year, that's the beauty and frustration of Fantasy Sports. Sometimes your top performers are not "household names." So, with that, let's take a look at this past season's Top-20 at each weight to help give you an early start to win each week this coming year. To compile these lists, we used standard WrestleStat Fantasy College Wrestling Data & Scoring. Just a reminder of how points were tallied in WrestleStat leagues: 1) The scoring used was Standard Team Scoring across all competitions (+3 for a win by decision, -4 for a loss by Major, etc) 2) Scoring only counted against D1 competition 3) Wins via Forfeits (FFT) would count as +6 towards a wrestler's point total 4) Wins or Losses by Medical Forfeit (MFF) did not count as + or - towards a wrestler's point total 5) Points were only accumulated during the regular season Notes: He wasn't even supposed to start this season. 2020 #3 Fantasy Wrestler at 125 Luke Werner was supposed to finish his Senior year and NC State transfer Anthony Noto would slide in perfectly to keep the Eagles soaring. Due to injury though, Noto stepped in and took the Fantasy season by storm. He finished with the 3rd biggest gap between 1st and 2nd (23 Fpts). In the first half of the season during his redshirt, six of his 13 matches were won by bonus (two pins and two techs) and suffered one loss. After taking the starting spot, Noto went undefeated in his last 14 matches, scoring bonus in 10 of them (four pins and three techs). An added note, of the top 251 wrestlers that had an Average Draft Position data point, Noto came in…. not listed. He did not have any draft data available (what a Portal pickup!) Another true freshman, with higher notoriety, who was thrust into the starting lineup was Drake Ayala, taking over for the injured Spencer Lee. Big knee braces to fill, but Drake held his own only losing four matches to two wrestlers (the backside bandit Pat McKee being his kryptonite and three of those losses). Ayala finished the regular season at #19 in the 125 weight class. The highest senior was Fabian Gutierrez who finished his career with 2022 being a statistical best as a starter in most wins, winning percentage, and RPI (per WrestleStat), even though his bonus rate was just slightly down (39.3% compared to his best rate in 2021 at 42.1%). The only other senior in this list, who has been in the Top-5 of 125 twice in the past three years, was Devin Schroder. 2022 finalist Pat Glory finished at #6 with 53 Fpts and a 61.5% regular season bonus rate, but missing the Top-5 by three points. Had Glory wrestled in the Southeast Open and at Iowa, chances are he would have finished as #2. Despite the low bonus rate of 12.5% (only two majors of his 16 matches), Trevor Mastrogiovanni found himself breaking into the Top-20 at #17. Four 2022 All-Americans finished in the Top-10 Who Missed The Cut: National Champion Nick Suriano (MICH) fell just short of breaking the Top-20 by one Fantasy Point, despite only wrestling eight D1 Matches in the regular season. Had he beat Drew Hildebrandt (PSU) by a major (his only win by dec in the regular season), he would have been #20. By a tech? #19. And via pin, #16. Despite getting the best of #19 Ayala three times this season, Pat McKee (MINN) fell to #25. After a bonus-filled start, his last eight matches unfortunately yielded -7 putting him in a late hole and finishing with 33 Fpts. The final All-American who was on the outside, and really really outside, was Michael DeAugustino (NW) finishing at #45. He only had eight total D1 matches starting with Northwestern's dual from January 7th and only one bonus win (by tech) which was negated by two losses by Dec to finish with only 17 Fpts. Spencer Lee (IOWA) only wrestled three matches, all at the National Collegiate Duals, and scored 12 Fpts, which tied him for #51 at 125 with True Freshman Richard Figueroa (ASU). Other notables include Clarion's Joseph Ficher missing out on the #20 spot by 0.04 in PPM, Joey Prata (OU) at #30 with 30 Fpts, Drew Hildebrandt (PSU) just under that with 29 Fpts, and Sam Latona (VT) at #41 with 21 Fpts.

  16. 220 lb Junior National champion Bradley Hill (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) The Iowa men's freestyle team came into the FargoDome with a lot of hype. It was a crew that recently captured a Junior Dual title for the second consecutive season and featured a boatload of talent. Iowa lived up to those expectations and more with a dominant showing in Junior freestyle. Four Iowa natives won individual titles and the only Iowa wrestler to lose in the finals, did so against an opponent from Iowa. Iowa almost won by 100 points as they distanced themselves from second place Pennsylvania by a 214-116 margin. Overall, 13 Iowa wrestlers got on the podium and 11 of those finished in the top-four of their respective weights. These results bode well for the Iowa Hawkeyes as all five of Iowa's finalists have either signed or committed to wrestling for Tom Brands' team. Below are the final results for the medal round matches at the 2022 Junior National Freestyle Championships. Junior National Freestyle Championship Bouts 100 lbs - Tyler Garvin (Maryland) over Javaan Yarbrough (Ohio) 9-4 106 lbs - Mack Mauger (Idaho) over Kolter Burton (Idaho) 11-1 113 lbs - Hunter Taylor (Missouri) over Deion Johnson (Illinois) 9-2 120 lbs - Nate Jesuroga (Iowa) over Caden Horwath (Michigan) 12-2 126 lbs - Mason Gibson (Pennsylvania) over Luke Stanich (New Jersey) 7-6 132 lbs - Cory Land (Alabama) over Kannon Webster (Illinois) 11-0 138 lbs - Ryder Block (Iowa) over Ismael Ayoub (Ohio) 12-2 145 lbs - Kyle Dutton (Missouri) over Beau Mantanona (California) 10-0 152 lbs - Cody Chittum (Tennessee) over Ty Whalen (New Jersey) 13-3 160 lbs - Aiden Riggins (Iowa) over Nicco Ruiz (California) 15-8 170 lbs - Joshua Barr (Michigan) over Rocco Welsh (Pennsylvania) 8-5 182 lbs - Connor Mirasola (Wisconsin) over AJ Heeg (Oklahoma) 3-0 195 lbs - Cody Merrill (California) over Rylan Rogers (Idaho) 7-1 220 lbs - Bradley Hill (Iowa) over Kolby Franklin (Iowa) 10-7 285 lbs - Aden Attao (Idaho) over Dillan Johnson (Illinois) 9-6 Third Place Results 100 lbs - Jayden Rinken (Iowa) over Tyler Harper (Iowa) 14-3 106 lbs - Dru Ayala (Iowa) over Damian Moreno (Arizona) 11-8 113 lbs - Nathan Desmond (Pennsylvania) over Michael Olson (Minnesota) Fall 1:43 120 lbs - Alan Koehler (Minnesota) over Braeden Davis (Michigan) 12-2 126 lbs - Drew Gorman (Georgia) over Coleman Nogle (Maryland) Fall :37 132 lbs - Grigor Cholakyan (California) over Nash Singleton (Oregon) 18-7 138 lbs - Pierson Manville (Pennsylvania) over Easton Taylor (Kansas) 10-0 145 lbs - Zach Hanson (Minnesota) over Joel Jesuroga (Iowa) 3-2 152 lbs - Jude Swisher (Pennsylvania) over William Henckel (New Jersey) 9-5 160 lbs - Braeden Scoles (Wisconsin) over Rafael Hipolito (Virginia) 9-7 170 lbs - Lorenzo Norman (New Jersey) over Lucas Condon (California) 9-5 182 lbs - Tate Naaktgeboren (Iowa) over Ryder Rogotzke (Minnesota) 8-8 195 lbs - Wyatt Voelker (Iowa) over Hayden Walters (Oregon) 2-1 220 lbs - Sawyer Bartelt (Florida) over Max Agresti (Delaware) 11-0 285 lbs - Ethan Vergara (Florida) over Emmanuel Ulrich (Pennsylvania) 6-0 Fifth Place Results 100 lbs - Caden Smith (Virginia) over Isaac Stewart (Montana) 10-0 106 lbs - Dedrick Navarro (Idaho) over Gage Singleton (Oregon) 12-2 113 lbs - Daniel Guanajuato (Arizona) over Brandon Morvari (Minnesota) MedFFT 120 lbs - Kael Lauridsen (Nebraska) over Kenneth Hendriksen (Tennessee) 10-0 126 lbs - Max Gallagher (New York) over Aden Valencia (California) 132 lbs - Luke Simcox (Pennsylvania) over Omar Ayoub (Ohio) 8-6 138 lbs - Tucker Cell (Montana) over Layton Schneider (Oklahoma) Fall :35 145 lbs - Caleb Meunier (Wisconsin) over Dylan Gilcher (Michigan) 15-8 152 lbs - Ethan Stiles (Illinois) over Boeden Greenley (North Dakota) 12-0 160 lbs - Jed Wester (Minnesota) over J Conway (Indiana) MedFFT 170 lbs - Noah Mulvaney (Wisconsin) over Tyler Lillard (Ohio) 15-5 182 lbs - Timothy McDonnell (California) over Garrett Wells (Oklahoma) 16-8 195 lbs - Cole Mirasola (Wisconsin) over Camden McDanel (Ohio) 16-14 220 lbs - Dylan Russo (Ohio) over Kail Wynia (Minnesota) MedFFT 285 lbs - Parker Ferrell (Virginia) over Max Acciardi (New Jersey) 10-0 Seventh Place Results 100 lbs - Reid Foster (Iowa) over Che Jenkins (Arizona) 14-12 106 lbs - Abram Cline (California) over Ethan Ward (California) 11-0 113 lbs - Layne Kleimann (Utah) over Anthony Ruzic (Illinois) Fall 5:54 120 lbs - Vincent Kilkeary (Pennsylvania) over Gylon Sims (Illinois) 13-6 126 lbs - Shane Corrigan (Wisconsin) over Dillon Campbell (Ohio) 13-11 132 lbs - Jaxon Joy (Ohio) over Cael Keck (Missouri) 10-0 138 lbs - Kole Brower (Illinois) over Casper Stewart (New York) Fall 3:27 145 lbs - Gavin Drexler (Wisconsin) over Q'veli Quintanilla (Washington) 10-0 152 lbs - Charlie Millard (Wisconsin) over Jeremiah Price (North Carolina) 12-0 160 lbs - Brendon Abdon (Florida) over Jasiah Queen (New Jersey) 10-0 170 lbs - Simon Ruiz (New Jersey) over Omaury Alvarez (Georgia) 18-13 182 lbs - Justin Rademacher (Oregon) over Blake Jouret (Kansas) 12-1 195 lbs - Jack Darrah (Missouri) over Remy Cotton (Michigan) 10-0 220 lbs - Caden Ferris (Michigan) over Max Ramberg (Wisconsin) 11-1 285 lbs - Jacob Walker (Iowa) over Elijah Novak (Minnesota) 7-5
  17. 113 lb champion Kellen Wolbert (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Yesterday, we saw the finals of the 16U men's freestyle tournament take place in Fargo. As always, there were plenty of excellent performances and stars that announced themselves to the rest of the wrestling world. As we were entering results, we noticed some notable facts surrounding the tournament. Below are some of the "firsts", "best since" and overall fun facts from the event. We'll have more with other divisions as well. As with anything historical pertaining to Fargo, this couldn't be possible without Jason Bryant's Fargo Almanac, which is an incredible resource. Mac Crosson was the third Iowa native to win 88 lb 16U freestyle in the last six tournaments (Cullan Schriever - 2016 and Drake Ayala - 2017). Kentucky's only previous 16U freestyle national champion (Zeke Escalera - 2017) won at 106 lbs, the same weight won by Jayden Raney. In addition to Jayden's title, Jordyn Raney was fifth at 120 lbs. That marked the first time that Kentucky had multiple 16U freestyle placers in the same season. Jay Henderson won Utah's first 16U freestyle national title since Brock Hardy in 2016 (138). Wisconsin had three 16U men's freestyle national champions (Haakon Peterson - 106, Kellen Wolbert - 113, Aeoden Sinclair - 182). That's the most the state has ever had in a single year. 2009 was the only time they had more than one (Alex Dieringer - 135 and Devin Peterson - 171). None of the 2021 16U men's freestyle champions repeated in that age group in 2022. Seth Mendoza and Anthony Knox both made the finals, but lost. Gabriel Bouyssou finished third in 16U men's freestyle. That makes him the highest placewinner (in any style) since Corey Peltier was a runner-up in 2006. Bouyssou's is now a three-time Fargo All-American; making him only the second Rhode Island native to accomplish the feat. Patrick Feeley did so between 2002-05. If he places in Greco, he'll be the first four-time placewinner. Nevada had a pair of 16U freestyle All-Americans with Melvin Whitehead (3rd - 220) and Manuel Saldate (8th - 120). It was the first time that Nevada had multiple placers since 2014 (Ian Timmons, Adrian Ojeda, and Andrew Berreyesa). Virginia had a pair of 16U freestyle All-Americans with Tyler Dekraker (7th - 106) and Ben Weader (8th - 132). It's the first time Virginia has had multiple AA's in this division since 2014 with (Antonio Agee, Jeffrey Allen, Troy Allen). Team New Jersey went 0-3 in the 16U men's freestyle finals (Knox - 120, Alessio Perentin - 152, Vincenzo Lavalle - 195). The last time New Jersey went without a champion in this division was in 2012. That year Kyle Bierdumpfel, Chas Tucker, and Myles Martin lost in the finals. In the same breath, Team Minnesota was held without a title for the first time since 2016. Three Minnesota wrestlers made the 2022 finals (Landon Robideau - 126, Tyson Charmoli - 132, and Bryce Burkett - 170), but all were defeated. In 2016, Minnesota's highest placewinner was Greg Kerkvliet (3rd). Despite being one of the traditional powers, California's had two champions for the first time since 2012. Michael Romero (100) and Brock Mantanona (132) were the champions in 2022. The 2012 champions were Aaron Pico, Anthony and Zahid Valencia. The wins by Romero and Mantanona marked only the second and third titles by California wrestlers since 2014. Maxximus Martinez won the only other title in the interim (in 2018). Team Florida finished in tenth place led by five placers (Lincoln Sledzianowski: 3rd - 100, Elvis Solis: 5th - 138, Claudio Torres: 5th - 152, Michael Mocco: 5th - 195, Caleb Rodriguez: 7th - 285). The only other time that Florida placed more than five wrestlers on the podium was in 1990 when they had six. Those were Adrian Tramotola (3rd - 94.5), Tim Morgan (4th - 94.5), Joe Giammanco (7th - 112), Chris Bono (2nd - 143), Chris Blair (4th - 209), Marvin David (4th - 242). Though they didn't have the type of firepower that the 2021 team possessed, Team Arizona made some history. Arizona had five wrestlers make the 16U freestyle podium (Giosue Hickman: 6th - 126, Israel Ibarra: 6th - 160, Gabriel Ramirez: 7th - 113, Adyn Bostick: 7th - 132, Carlos Stanton Jr: 8th - 126), the most in state history. Last year's squad with three finalists and two champs, tied for the previous high with four (originally set in 2013 and reached again in 2019). Team Illinois finished with three placewinners, which is notoriously low for the traditional title contender. That is the lowest total for the state since 1989 when they only had two. Pennsylvania captured its fourth consecutive 16U men's freestyle title (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022; no 2020 tournament). Either Pennsylvania or Illinois has won every championship in this division since 2008.

  19. 152 lb 16U freestyle national champion Ladarion Lockett (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) On day one of the 16U and Junior National Championships, we saw a women's 16U team from Iowa shock the field and come away with the team trophy. That wasn't the case today as the favorite Pennsylvania prevailed 223 to 212 over California. The two traditional powers distanced themselves from the rest of the field, as Ohio was a distant third with 149 points. It was a total team effort for Pennsylvania, as they only saw one of their wrestlers earn a stop sign; Bekhruz Sadriddnov at 160 lbs, with a tech in the finals. Three others fell in the finals and a total of 16 PA wrestlers got on the podium. 16U Men's Freestyle Final Team Scores 1st - Pennsylvania 223 2nd - California 212 3rd - Ohio 149 4th - New Jersey 120 5th -

Every day, for the next few months, we'll look into the recent history of a DI wrestling program with our "Ten Years of…" feature. Even if you're a die-hard supporter of a particular school, there will be good information you may have forgotten. For others, it's a quick way to learn about a program you may not be familiar with.

  24. The 2022 16U Women's Team Champion Iowa (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) The first Fargo finals have been conducted and stop signs have been awarded at the 16U Women's division. For the first time ever, Team Iowa came away with the championship. Iowa was led by a champion at 112 lbs (Molly Allen) and a runner-up at 144 lbs (Skylar Slade). Altogether, eight women from Iowa made it to the podium. The win breaks California's stranglehold on the division, as they had previously won every 16U Women's tournament since 2012. The initial tournament, in 2011, was won by Hawaii. Below are the final team scores and results from the medal round matches.
