Wrestling update: Pantaleo down to 149, competeing at the Midlands
Little Wrestling update for those that, like myself, are frustratedly watching the Peach bowl. Pantaleo had a very interesting start to the season, losing to Will Lewan (Michigan true Freshman and former cadet world champ) in a wrestle-off, then subsequently beating Lewan. Also losing to Lewan in an open tournament finals, Pantaleo did not compete at Cliff Keen LV and to my knowledge hasn’t competed until now. First match at 149 ended in a 59second victory via pin. Going forward it will be interesting to see if they stick with Pantaleo at 149 and pull Lewan’s redshirt slotting him in at 157. Also competing unattached are Joey Silva, and Masson Paris both of whom seem to be showing out nicely.

Whoever put a star on Jon Runyan is a fucking idiot.

Glad to see this move by Pantaleo. Amine is far from a stud at 149 so slotting Alec there and Lewan at 157 helps the team quite a bit.

Agreed, Malik Amine was the obvious weak spot of this team. I have said before and will say again, Pantaleo at 149 is a NCAA champion contender. Hope to see him take on nationally ranked #1 Kolodzik in the midlands finals.

Quarters tonight, right? Semis and finals tomorrow?

Also, I assume Micah Jordan is just thrilled to see Alec cutting to 149. Probably thought he had a path to a B1G title when he cut.

Correct, Pantaleo and Paris made the semi-final tomorrow afternoon. Silva, Freeman and Davison need one more win to place. As for Micah, news probably hasn’t hit him yet but when it does I bet he has nightmares about Pantaleo’s blast double for weeks

I'm guessing this wasn't the best time for this post to get attention. Just a wild guess.

Probably right but weight change is not exactly front page news. If Pantaleo makes the midlands finals and downs Kolodzik that timingwill be good

They'll never beat Captain Lou Albano and the Triumvirate of Terror
