FILA Juniors

**Isuska** · 04-13-2012, 11:55 AM

Saw on twitter that Destin McCaulaey, RJ Hallman, Login Molina, and Tyler Swope are heading to Madison for th FILA Junior World Trails

I'm excited to see what McCauley can do against people his age at 145.5lbs.

Also want to see what Molina can do at 163, i think he has a chance to be our 157lber next year (assuming Caldwell doesn't come and Moreno goes 165)

No official participant list yet that I could find. Still over a month out though, so that isn't surprising.

As far as Molina next year, Caldwell coming is the only reason I could see him trying to make 157. Assuming Spangler is done 157/165/174 is likely something like Moreno/Molina/Tanner Weatherman, with Mikey England or Trent Weatherman possibly stealing one of those spots. The best possible lineup for those weights would be (Moreno or Molina)/Caldwell/Spangler, but I don't see that happening.

No idea if Molina could make the cut, I just don't see how it would help the team to have him at 157 and Moreno at 165 rather than vice versa when Moreno already made 157 for a season. I wouldn't be opposed to it, I just don't see why we would do it. Moreno didn't have an issue with fading in the 3rd period last year so I assume the cut was doable for him. His issue was lack of experience against D-1 competition week in and week out. Plus now he has another offseason to shrink himself down.
