scratch that concern about 165. I didn’t notice at first that Morningstar didn’t compete in these duals (apparently he was resting a minor injury from last week’s duals and getting ready for Iowa State next week). When he’s available, we have no real concerns at that weight.

LeValley’s a bad matchup for Metcalf — tall and lanky, and very good at defensive/counter wrestling. If the ref from the Rugers match had been officiating the Bucknell duel, LeValley would have been tagged with a few well-deserved stall warnings and the outcome likely would have been very different.

I thought the whole team looked a little sluggish during the first dual (Bucknell), but then they had to fly in the night before with a couple of plane changes and a long bus ride followed by a practice at a local high school. I guess I would have been a little sluggish, too. The energy was back in the second dual.
