Princeton Open
- Thread starter 5sf
- Start date
We more than likely won't know for certain until the morning when the guys actually weigh-in. I've seen reports that we are spending a decent sized group, mostly unattached but a few attached as well but things always change with these open tournaments.
6 athletes will be attached I would imagine. 6 or less and it doesn't count as a date on the schedule
I am off Sunday.....Jadwin Gym? I have never been to an open tournament....Is it chaos trying to figure out who is wrestling where?
We have 6 attached and 21 unattached going to Princeton.
Streaming on ESPN+ for anyone interested. They look to have 10 mats with individual streams.

I’m assuming they are easing in Turley off of the surgery (similar to Janzer) and Alvarez since he just wrestled at U23s. I believe Goody said if we had a dual this weekend everyone would be available so I think it’s load management.
Not sure about Raimo though as there has been really nothing from him since he’s been here. I know he’s had injuries and whatnot, so I was actually surprised to see that he certified at a weight this year, because I don't believe he did last year. Hopefully he gets back on the mat soon.
Lists of teams and wrestlers registered should be made available prior to tournament. No excuse. Brackets on the other hand are not done until after weigh-ins
Looks like Kurzer and Odonnell are both in. Not sure if it’s a loophole but Kurzer is listed as SKWC. Heilmann and Kannaird (SKWC) are also listed. By my count 26 guys are listed with Raimo, Alvarez, White, Turley, Soldano, Janzer, and Boone being the only ones missing.
There’s so many former NJ state place winners enrolled. Pretty cool to see.

Brackets are up. Weak field. Great time for the Pin Pool. We should get 4 champs and 2 seconds. Will give our guys lots of confidence. Go RU
Who are your 4 champs and 2 seconds?? Any interesting matchups?? I see D Peterson could meet Glory in semifinals
6 Finalists? Do not see that happening. Think 2 champs in Poz and Olivieri
MS-RU-my guess that Heilmann and Kanniard were registered early and late scratches(that is why article on the tournament did not include them)
Yeah not on brackets but they were listed as competitors before seeding came out. Weird
125: Peterson should win his first match but then has a good test against Seymour in round of 8. Shawver should take 2nd here.
133: Hopefully each guy can get a win in the early rounds
141: Olivieri can take this. Slendorn is decent, I think he lost to Raimo in the state finals years ago. Bell at the 1 is also good, not sure if they ever wrestled before.
149: Interested to see what Fongaro can do. Not expecting much from the others at this weight.
157: I think Clark and DeSantis can both go on a bit of a run here. Don’t recognize any names aside from Eyler
165: I think the bottom of this bracket is wide open. Whalen up 20 pounds from high school could take on Hunter Mays and if things shake out the winner could face Oneill later on. Possible Gayer vs Simon Ruiz match too.
174: Dont know much about Freeman
184: If Poz is truly healthy, motivated and in the right mindset he runs through this field
197: Not expecting much
285: Lets see what Casale is all about
I think we can get 2 champs (Olivieri, Poz) maybe 5 finalists (Shawver, Desantis/Clark, Oneill)

They're on Flo Arena.
Heads up to anyone streaming on their phone, ESPN website (in desktop mode) is better because you can see the mat # for each stream link, whereas you can't on the app until you select the link (at least on my phone)
