Iowa runs away with the team title. 

My thoughts on the team after it first big test. It is obviously early in the season so a lot can change and we need to hope it does or this team does not make the podium 
125 - Lee gets dominated in losing to Rivera. I can only hope that there is something going on with Lee as he got dominated the last 2 periods on his semi and all three of the final. Lee is probably still the favorite to win it all but he has suddenly become very human, 
133 - DSeSanto looked good in winning a title. He has made some good progress but he is at a really tough weight so getting to AA will be a challenge. 
141 - Murin lost in the final but solidified himself as the guy at 141 neither Happel or Turk did much. Murin is solid but again probably a 10-12 type guy right now. 
149 Lugo finished in 4th. Lugo was a guy that many thought might be a title contender. I think a low AA might be more realistic. 
157 Young finishes second. I like the progress that I have seen in him since the start of the season as he adjusts to his new weight. But he is again probably a low AA type guy at best. 
165 Marinelli was very solid getting a big win over the #2 guy who beat him 16-3 the last time they met last year. The Bull seems improved to me. He certainly can be in the hunt for a high finish. 
174 Bowman had his first competition at his new weight. He went 2-2. At best he is probably a borderline NCAA qualifier. 
184 Wilcke loses in the final. He has looked okay but again we are looking at a low AA type guy. 
197 Warner - Finishes 5th. If there is a guy where my opinion has changed the most it is with Warner. I was thinking he was a top 3 type guy but now I am thinking he is low AA, if that. 
285 Stoll wrestles a couple of matches and forfeits out so hard to get a read on this. Stoll is ranked #2 right now but I think that is probably a little high.
