Garrett 10-1 MD; Gabe up soon on mat 3

ugarte · March 20, 2015, 10:33:19 PM

DEAN! I wasn't sure he had enough in the tank to hold on in OT but WOOOOOOOOO 3-3, but win on criteria in OT.

He'll face #7 Brown of Lehigh who he's beaten, IIRC, three times this year.

the RealButo thing is getting alot of play.. but they all seem to ignore the fact that each guy new the score and wrestled the end out far different than they may have. realbuto had the kid with his back almost exposed and you can see him watching the clock and no trying until the last second to get the back points. who knows what he may have done if desparate

Garrett loses by fall as he wrestled from behind in the third and had to take some chances to get a takedown.

CV loses too, 6-2. Garrett and CV will both face unseeded wrestlers in the fifth place match. Correction: Clagon is a low seed.

Garrett wins his 5th place match 9-3.

CV loses his 5th place match.

Realbuto finishes 2nd, losing 10-2.

Dean is an NCAA champion, winning 6-2.

ugarte · March 21, 2015, 11:14:37 PM

Gabe Dean is amazing. Holy cow.

Brian Realbuto went up against a guy who may be the next Cael Sanderson - undefeated in four years. Isaiah Martinez is crazy good.

Work found a particularly lousy weekend to heat up, but thank you everyone for the updates. Objectively very good results in St. Louis (one sophomore champ, one sophomore runner-up, two more all-americans, and a top 5 finish), but you can read a "what if" tone in Rob's post-NCAA wrap-up. I guess is says good things about the program when the team finishes 5th (and four points out of 3rd) without a single guy beating seed.

Still, it was a great season and my hat is off to all four of our all-americans (and really everyone).
