grapplehed 8 Report post Posted March 3, 2007 It all depends on the conference. Each one is different. For ex: Big Ten has I think 66 qualifiers, 6 per weight plus wild cards. Thats what it used to be. Other conferences such as the Southern Conf. might be champion plus a few wildcards, 10-13 maybe. It is weighted according to how they finish at NCAA's. Several All Americans will come from the Big Ten.Other Divisions are different. NAIA can qualify more than one wrestler per weight class up to ?, you could have teammates wrestling in the finals against each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeaceMaker 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2007 Ruschell lost in the finals 5-1. Still, not too bad for a freshman from Kentucky.As for Mena's antics, Escobedo was in on a head inside shot, split the middle, and when the Iowa wrestler leached onto his back, he stacked him back on his shoulders. He was flat a few times but not long enough for the fall. Escobedo lost the match and Mena shouted at the ref, probably offering a few choice words, stamped off the mat, pushed over a gatorade cooler, and kicked over a training bag. He proceeded to go out to the middle of the mat for the next match at 133 (on the same mat) to slap his wrestler in the face a time or two and offer some extra motivation. That Iowa intensity...
