Missour with 3 in the finals while Ohio State has just 2. Penn State is just unbelievable at this point. Kind of like the UCLA basketball teams from 1964 through 1975. Five in the finals with a straight flush from 149 to 1984. And all of this year's team except for 1 that did not place are back next year and they add a couple of national level recruits. The following year is when everyone pretty much leaves at the same time.

The sport has evolved. There's more weight classes than I recall being.

Nope - still 10 in college where it has been for quite awhile. Olympics dropped from 10 down to 6 and will stay there for 2020. May go up to 8 or 10 in 2024. World Cup just announced 2 days ago they will go to 10 weights.

One of us isn't clear what you mean by

"Five in the finals with a straight flush from 149 to 1984. .."

I remember when Toledo used to have a wrestling program.

We probably should have cut baseball instead and I am a huge baseball fan
