While the shutdowns at some schools are somewhat discouraging, the focus should be on making sure that everyone is healthy and virus-free come qualifier tournaments and nationals.

Actually last year Mason Parris and Lauren Farley (women's gymnastics) had a little exchange of ideas. Maybe this is where it all began. https://fb.watch/3dxd98QFDv/

Traces back to one female student athlete and a few others. Probably not involving a wrestler. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2021/01/23/michigan-athletics-coronavirus-variant-shutdown/6691533002/

This is somewhat similar to how football played out this past fall - abbreviated schedules, postponed or canceled games, but still were able to have a tournament at the end. I think the focus should be making sure everyone or most everyone is healthy by the time of qualifying tournaments and of course the NCAAs.

Final score: Weight Summary MICH IND 165 Cameron Amine (Michigan) over Nick South (Indiana) (Dec 8-3) 3 0 174 Logan Massa (Michigan) over Donnell Washington (Indiana) (Fall 6:38) 6 0 184 Jaden Bullock (Michigan) over Drayton Harris (Indiana) (TF 16-0 3:48) 5 0 197 Nick Willham (Indiana) over Andrew Davison (Michigan) (Dec 4-2) 0 3 285 Mason Parris (Michigan) over Rudy Streck (Indiana) (Fall 2:06) 6 0 125 Dylan Ragusin (Michigan) over Brock Hudkins (Indiana) (Dec 5-4) 3 0 133 Asa Garcia (Indiana) over Jack Medley (Michigan) (Dec 11-6) 0 3 141 Drew Mattin (Michigan) over Kyle Luigs (Indiana) (Dec 11-6) 3 0 149 Kanen Storr (Michigan) over Luke Baughman (Indiana) (Dec 5-2) 3 0 157 Will Lewan (Michigan) over Matt Ortiz (Indiana) (Dec 8-3) 3 0 Team Score: 32 6 From the Indiana side, Wilham scores what you could probably call a mild upset over Davison. Garcia countered well against Medley's attacks to win their match.

Michigan up 20-3 at intermission.

I was hoping Foley would pull it out at 125. https://msuspartans.com/news/2021/1/16/no-25-spartan-wrestling-splits-saturday-season-opening-action.aspx

Not sure. https://mgoblue.com/news/2021/1/13/wrestling-wolverines-to-host-indiana-in-home-opener.aspx

Yes, but the basic rule is actually the same in all three NCAA divisions, and the NAIA, presumably for students who are going through college uninterrupted. Like you say, if you want to take a semester or more off, for Olympic RS, mission trip, transfer to a school in a different division or different association, or just take extended time to do other things in life, the rules for retaining eligibility vary greatly between divisions.

Basically, it states that once you enroll at a school, your "eligibility clock" starts ticking, and you have five years (10 semesters) to complete your four years of eligibility. In the case of someone like yourself, who was once enrolled in school, whether you can compete again depends partly on where you intend to re-enroll. http://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/current/transfer-terms https://www.naia.org/legislative/2016-17/releases/20161018qftcv

Thanks for posting.

A great meet with almost nonstop action in those matches.

After a slow start, Mattin scores the fall in the second period.

Nice win. Had armbars in during the first period twice but couldn't turn.

Ragusin just made short work of his first collegiate opponent.

I forgot about the eligibility relief. Get over it already.

Like the other Big 10 school schedules posted thus far, this seems pretty ambitious for two months. I hope that during this time, all schools will be rabid about having regular testing, maintaining proper distancing and masking outside practice and competition, and swiftly dealing with any COVID that pops up among the athletes.

https://fataldeaths.com/2020/Danny-Hodge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Hodge Met him once at the 2006 Oklahoma City NCAAs. A great guy and a legend.

Ben trained with Duke Roufus, one of the better Muay Thai trainers out there, who is known for getting in his fighters' faces if they don't maintain good defense. I'm not surprised to see him trying a spinning backlist, but am a little surprised at how awkward he looks.

Thanks for posting. Great article about someone who worked his way to the top.
