KENTUCKY WAS THE HIGHEST PLACING STATE WITH ONLY SINGLE DIGIT WRESTLERS .Had the hVy bracket not been switched it would have been a bit Higher and Illinois would have beaten Ohio possibly NJ as well

At the senior level in Greco they do get the option to start par terre.  How many times have you turned on a match to see two guys hanging on each others heads and not know what style they were wrestling.  The UWW had to make more of a distinction between the two styles and the way passivity is called is one of them. Remember passivity is not the same thing as stalling.  Passivity means you are not scoring.  I heard many coaches say last week when a guy was hit with passivity "but we just shot, How can we be passive?"  It is actually an advantage to be on the clock first.  If there is no other score then the other guy WILL be placed on the clock and you would score last.

 

Oh, and the first day, Austin weighed in a little over 240. He came through my scale at weigh ins. ;)

248.not really an advantage being put in passivity first in a close match if you shoot or try to score under pressure and get out of position and get scored on you give up two and your opponent gets hit for passivity later then he can just give up the one and have the lead .Austin weighed in at 248 ? He weighed in at 223 back in April and forever before that .All depends on what type of wrestler you are .As for weight had Austin wrestled heavy all year we would be talking about Kys first ever Fargo Champ right now but no worries he has a lot of firsts under his belt and he wanted the 220x4 and Brinson and he got it .

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS TO JUMP UP IN WEIGHT FROM 220 REGULAR SEASON AND OFF SEASON NAT TOURNAMENTs TO HVY THE BIGGEST JUMP A PERSON CAN MAKE FROM CLASS TO CLASS FOR Fargo and still make top 3 or even A A is something few could dream about let alone accomplish could actually be the biggest thing he has ever done in the Sport ,but in life people look at Ws so it is what it is .A lot of tough heavies there and a lot of supposed to be tough heavies not there .But only one top 220 to come as close to the stop sign as Austin .Anyone thinking he will not hang in college will be In for a big surprise lol about a 270 lb one when his time comes .
