The lineup sounds like this:
125 - Ryak Finch
133 - John Meeks
141 - Luke Goettl
149 - Matt White
157 - Logan Molina
165 - Mike Moreno
174 - Mikey England
184 - Boaz Beard

Did Gadsen win the wrestleoff then?
I believe that since Mikey England won the Nichols Open over Tanner, he got the 174 spot and Logan Molina placed higher than Trent Weatherman, he got the 157 pound spot.
FOR NOW, it will be up to them to perform and keep the spot. It is a good problem to have!
4 guys who won't AA fighting for 2 spots in the starting lineup. There is little good about that.
I'd rather have 2 guys trying to improve by competing against each other for 1 spot instead of only having 1 guy and giving it to him by default.
Who wouldn't? But you mention a scenario that just plain shouldn't happen at a quality D1 wrestling program.

So a quality D1 wrestling program shouldn't have multiple guys competing for 1 spot? Gotcha.
Obviously I am talking about the other scenario mentioned.
