Many former and current NU wrestlers participated in the JR Nationals (20 and under)
and SR Nationals tourney this weekend. Champions included 1995 NCAA Champ Tolly Thompson,
Brad Vering and Justin Ruiz.  This meet is a string indicator of Olympic teams.

I think soon to be gov made a mistake by never getting Tolly Thompson to play FB:

Also placing 4th was Jason Powell (NCAA champ last year). Current Huster BJ Padden
took eighth.

In the JR NAtionals,  redshirt FR Paul Donahoe won the meet at 121,  he should be a NCAA
qualifier or place winner next year at 125.  Redshirt FR Chris Oliver took 5th in  a very tough
weight class. Current NU HWT Jon May took 2nd.
