WT 174

#1 Ben Askren (Missouri) DEC #5 Eric Luedke (Iowa) D 8-3

Luedke is the first wrestler in the tournament to not allow bonus points for Askren.

I think that Eric is guaranteed to AA again, is that right Richard?

if i was looking at the Bracket right i think he Guarnteed to be in the top 6, cause the guys who loose the round before he starts he wrestle back go for 7th and 8th.

Yes, Luedke is an All-American!

Luedke will wrestle in the consolation semifinals. The winner advances to the consolation finals and can finish no worse than fourth and the loser advances to the fifth/sixth place match and can finish no worse than sixth.

Askren comments following his semifinal victory over Luedke.

“Did he take one step forward? It was a backwards track meet,” Askren said of Luedke. “If I am a senior, if this is my last year, I would try to win. Did he try anything? That kid should have been thrown out two times. I’m frustrated. I couldn’t run fast enough to chase him down. He ran backwards. It is hard to score on that.”

Man, Tyler has had a tough backside of the bracket. Good luck against Simmons.
