Quick thoughts about the tournament. It’s the only preseason tournament that I’ve ever been to that finished ahead of schedule two years in a row. Some of the teams at this tournament didn’t bring their A squads and lots of starters were coaching their teammates. Wrestling is a tough sport. A bunch of these studs are already banged up. Speedy recovery. There were a bunch of stud high school wrestlers at this event. This used to be a common occurrence back in the day but has all but disappeared recently. I hope it continues.
157lbs probably had the deepest amount of talent with AA Josh Humphreys of Lehigh, Quincey Monday of Princeton and Jesse Dellavecchia of Rider being the deepest top 3 guys at the event. Monday convincingly reversed a loss to Humphreys last season but he ultimately fell to Dellavecchia. Hats off to Sean Gray-‘bird’ of Princeton for running such a quality event, I can only imagine that this event will be more desirable as the years go by.
Below you can click on any match with a hyperlink and watch highlights. I only got a few of the finals, they were all running at the same time. Other matches are listed below the results portion of the article. Interviews are just above the finals results.
Some interviews from the event: Sean Gray, Pat Brucki, John Gluckow (twice as old as any wrestler), Pat Glory, Jesse Dellavecchia, Tyler Graff (my apologies to Tyler most of the interview was lost to a corrupted file) and Chris Ayres. I was solo filming and some of the work I subpar. Sorry. I’ll do better next time. Maybe.
