Yes 007 it is a shame that good, deserving kids have to be left off this team. I certainly do not want to question Jake Wotens’ credentials. It just seems logical that the choice would be between Woten and Nowak at 215#s. And yes that would mean a good deserving kid would still be left off the team, but at least they would be picked from the same weight class. I believe at the lower weight classes it would be easier to justify taking two great kids from the same weight class, and separating them in order to put the best team on the mat. But moving a 215#er up to heavyweight seems like a stretch in this situation. Especially with the year Tanner had at heavyweight. I know picking a team like this is impossible to do without leaving some good kids off and I do congratulate all who were selected!!
