They’re working on Kasak’s right leg with 1:09 to go. He’s leading Henson 4-3. It looks like an ankle issue.
'25 Bill Farrell Memorial Tournament thread
- Thread starter kadeeu
- Start date
My guess is that ankle is sprained. That will hurt for 3 weeks. But... Psu has the best trainer in the world.
Going or not, Tyler is ready to go
In the finals (medal matches begin 6:00), Kasak vs Ian Parker.
Herring loses to McGee 17-6. A little confusing on scoring at end. Match was 4-3 Herring half way through second period.
Right. Bartlett might be embarrassed by not being aware he was behind at the end, but he wasn't embarrassed by Bassett.
Henson tosses Miller to his back in first period (looked pinned to me). 4-0 at break.
Edit: Good match. Miller with 3 takedowns and Henson with a takedown, a step out and a lost challenge in period 2. Henson wins 8-6. Miller is right there.

I would not expect any USA Wrestling event to be anywhere else for the foreseeable future—I don’t know the details, but they went to the trouble of developing a new platform rather than staying with track/flo….
Henson is redshirting this year as well.
I created my free account. hate to have to have a thousand accounts for stupid stuff that shouldn’t require an account. I guess now they have my email address so they can make money off of it. I guess I’m just a grumpy old guy.
The site actually looks pretty good and loads pages quickly.
If I had to venture a guess, Flo tried to leverage their monopoly on tourney management software to get/retain broadcast rights, and USA Wrestling had enough. Hopefully the platform will improve over time.
Any chance Ono not going in this tournament is a tip off that he is going folk this year ?
He did post a screenshot of his roster listing (w/ Junior eligibility) on his instagram story today. But that could just be his pride over being in the pride officially.
Maybe Ono gets 5 free matches as a red shirt, because it is his first year wrestling in the states .
The software won't change events being on Flo.
Flo has all the major UsaW freestyle events on FLO thru 2028 I believe. This time around the Farrell wasn't part of the contract.
Yeah, I figured it wasn’t to get out of existing contracts—just guessing the change had to do with leverage moving forward.
looks like: first up are all 3rd pl bouts on mats A & B (57 on A, 61 on B, 65 on A on deck, 70 on B on deck, and so on)
Fun match between Henson and Ed Scott. Henson comes back and then survives for 11-10 win for 3rd.
DeSanto won the first final. Bartlet coming up now, then Kasak:
Bassett over Bartlett 15-5.
After going down 4-0, Bassett just beat him with aggression and pace (and a nice gut).

Kasak v Parker. Kasak up 3-0 at break. 2 push outs and a passivity point. Most importantly ankle seems fine. No limp. Moving fine.
