Not the best results for ISU affiliated alumni and wrestlers but not terrible. Harrington is the only current ISU guy and was up something like 8-1 when he got pinned, he came back for 3rd.
Junior Worlds:
Marcus Harrington (@Mr_88th)takes 3rd place in the 96kg challenge tournament. Lost by pin to Ben Harris, Beat Chip Ness 11-9, and then won with a 15-4 tech fall over Joseph Ariola in the 3rd place match.
Before continuing, I'd like to take a second to point out he had his way with Ariola.
World Team Trials:
CWC member and ISU assistant coach Angel Escobedo (@Driven2dominate)took second in the 57kg challenge tournament. He beat Tyler Graff (former Wisconsin) 9-7 and then took out Nick Simmons (former Michigan State) 4-1 before falling 11-8 to Joey Colon (former UNI).
CWC member Deron Winn (@Action _Winn)lost 7-3 to Jon Reader (former Iowa State) and then pinned Phil Keddy (former Iowa) before falling 12-3 to Chris Perry (former Oklahoma State) in the consolation semifinals.
Here's some pics from the CWC (@CWC4ISU) of Winn pinning Keddy.
Alum Jon Reader beat Deron Winn 7-3 and then lost 24-18 to Ed Ruth (former Penn State) in the semifinals before falling 11-3 to Clayton Foster (former Oklahoma State) in the consolations.
As far as I know know ISU alum or affiliated wrestlers were in the women's brackets. I don't think we had anybody in Greco either.
Since I'm sharing twitters I'll point out that I post ISU wrestling stuff @GrappleCy
Tomorrow Alumni Jake Varner and David Zabriskie will meet in the first round of the 96kg challenge tournament.
