NCAA wrestling championships on tonight. Maybe my favorite sporting event of the year. I have watched it every year for a couple of decades now.
There are 2 Colorado kids vying for Championships tonight. Cohlton Schultz and Ryan Deakin. Schultz is probably the greatest HS wrestler in Colorado history who wrestled for 4 years in Colorado. I put in the qualifier because Henry Cejudo moved to Colorado and wrestled his junior and senior seasons in HS at Coronado. He won a gold medal at like 19 or 20 years old at the Olympics, he's the best HS wrestler in state history.
Deakin went to Legacy HS and this is his second trip to the national finals, he took second last season. I am rooting really hard for Deakin to win.
Schultz has a tough row to hoe, he is facing the current Olympic heavyweight champion and the no doubt best Heavyweight wrestler in the world. But Schultz is a multiple time junior Greco Roman world champion and has better than a puncher's chance. Would be a gigantic upset though and I am definitely rooting for it.
