125: Erik Spjut (19-8) OR Ty Mitch (5-1)
133: #3 Devin Carter (21-1)
141: #11 Zach Neibert (13-4)
149: Chris Mears (7-6) OR Nick Murray (17-9)
157: Cameron Hurd (9-7) OR Matt Stephens (3-4)

197: Nick Vetterlein (19-6) OR Angelo Malvestuto (13-7)
285: Chris Penny (6-4)
Will be good tests for Goettl and Sorenson
Looks very winnable. Outside of Carter at 133(who handled Ramos at the Midlands) we will be competitive. My hope for this meet is that Moreno can put somehtign together and get his second win at 157. 149 doesn't look out of reach here either. Shafer will likely have a tough time at 197 though.Quote:

Sorenson will have a good test in Yates, who actually looked the best of anybody against Fittery in the Midlands finals. Hopefully Goettl can keep things rolling against a higher ranked kid.
The kid from Mizzou that beat England in OT the other day is now ranked #10 by Intermat so I'm hopeful he can bounce back and get this one Friday. As always, if the individuals do what they are capable of, the team will take care of itself.
Heard Spangler is basically retired due to concussions, slim chance for next year but not looking great. He was looking very good. Hope things clear up and he has a shot, but long term health most important.
Many toss ups here, sorensons match should be a good one. Have faith Andrew can pull it out. Finch, bo, moreno, Gibson, England have good chances. Schafer and goettl have ones that can go their way, only one that I almost concede is 33. Hopefully no bonus points with that one to get it close.
i'm curious where you heard this. Hope it isn't trueQuote:

I heard rumors of Spangler also, but you just don't know. It will be a while, if he does come back. Heck we don't have Mayfield back yet and that occurred 1st dual of the year. I think he had some nose surgery also.
Goettl got beat 9-8 at Midlands by Niebert
I talked to somebody pretty close to the program that I think would know and he hadn't heard that. Because I heard the same thing, that Spangler was done for the year.Quote:
