Three unseeded wrestlers: gross, yianni, zilmer.

Looks like a really, really good team.

And that is without gable steveson. I'm not sure how the seeding works with placement points at the diff international tournies, but he's a huge pt scorer at heavyweight we would have as well.

Note the 3 seed for Sebastian Rivera at 65kg, his success at those Euro tournies were likely a big boost.

Im a terrible Rutgers fan for forgetting to mention Rivera! Correct, his intl success has parlayed into a three seed and being ranked in the top 5( i think) in the world.
Can't wait to see him in action.

Quick glance shows amine, Ramos, and dhesi competing as well.

Buxton will travel with Rivera and Silva at the Worlds. Next week Buxton takes Alvarez and Shawver to Puerto Rice for the U23 trials.

Is Silva the workout partner? If so, awesome experience for him and excited to see if it translates to the mats for Rutgers.

I thought Silva won the 61kg spot for team PR.

You are right, didn't check out the full list until now. Good to know.

They also have mark hall and Burroughs listed at 79kg

Amazing the progress Rivera has made in such a short time. Don’t think he has much freestyle experience. Unlikely to place in the Worlds. But a name to watch in the future.

Shows what the combination of a highly motivated athlete and a great coach can do. Wish we would had hired Buxton years ago.
