Sean Fausz

Recommended Posts

Sean was seeded 12th. Has a very winnable first riding then should have 5 seed Lambert. It will be a tough go but anything is possible. 

 

Pretty awesome having a ky kid get seeded! How often does that happen?

Great to see a KY kid seeded. 25-6 record against tough competition, that gets you seeded. Intermat has him 10th, was hoping this would hold up in seeding. Gonser will not be an easy out in 1st round and Lambert in 2nd round will be a bear. Beatable, but tough. Mueller, who Sean beat in semis of ACCs got the 10 seed and could see ACC champ Dance in qtrs. The committee wants to separate conference finalists so this might be why Sean got dropped to 12.

Not just that he won, but he looked very aggressive and physical in the match..  Frankly, his record is a bit deceiving with all of the matches he wrestled up at 133.  He is physically able to go with any of the top 125's, even Gillman.  Let's see if his wrestling skills and stamina are up to the match with Lambert.  Go, Sean!!!

He did pretty well at 133, 17-4. Two bad losses. At 125 his only losses are to Dance. I think he competes at either weight, but you are right 125 is a better fit. His road to the finals gets brutal from here: #5 Lambert, #4 Cruz, #1 Gilman in semis. (assuming seeds hold up)

Thanks for the excitement Sean, So close to that AA, I bet you can smell it now!

He had a helluva year! Will he stay at 125 or move up to 133? He seemed to handle the drop to 125, but a lot can happen in a year.

I wondered about the extreme weight loss thing, He won State at 138 his senior year in HS. to age and drop another 13lbs. was questionable. and he did look to be weakened last year. 13lbs. does not sound like much to a upper weight but is a large % for a lightweight

Cox has held down the 125 spot recently. Fausz beat him at Wolfpack open by MD. Since then it seems Cox has had the better of it in the room. Not sure what is going on. Weight issue, nagging injury, Cox has his number? Cox got smoked in first bout, but came back to record the pin next time out. Not wishing bad on anybody, but it would be nice to see Fausz re-claim the spot.

No weight issue, no injury, and Cox doesn't have his number.  It was the plan all along.  His engineering classes have kept him from training with the team.  Works with the RTC guys.  Second semester, after Dec 13th, his classes are in line with practice and he will be in the lineup, count on it.
