It seems simple to just seperate those guys when it is so clear that they are the top 2.One of those 2 boys will have to settle for 3rd and no championship fan fair. The spectators will have to watch their match with several others going on. It is the luck of the draw but it seems to me if 2 wrestlers clearly deserve to be ranked 1 and 2 they should be.
Whoa there 5 kids, I know the intent of your post was not to slam any of the other wrestlers on the same side of the bracket as Wiegel, but I hardly think he will "have a free ride".
In the second round, providing he wins, he will have either Frye of Eureka, or Stucky of Scott City, neither one of them are too shabby. Then, provided he makes the semi finals, he could have either Bingham of Burlingame, Janzen of Hesston, or Campbell of Oakley whom he has beaten twice, both by one point, 2-1 and 4-3. Both of those matchups came before Christmas break. I know he should be the favorite, but that's why they wrestle the matches.
