What's this?

Yes, Valencia bumped to 184 and pinned McNutt (ZZ won 4-1).

What's weird is he swapped places with the guy who wrestled at 174 in the semis. I guess they don't have a decent true 184 guy and one of their 174s had to bump up.

The only thing that annoyed me about Valencia getting the award is that it was being announced (I think) while Haught was still out on the mat. (I guess the 7 or so blood stoppages at 133 can slow down a match!) It's not like we had a guy at 285 that had a good tournament going up against a top-20 opponent with a chance that the tournament championship would be on the line.

Valencia gets MOW. I thought Dance had a good argument for it. ** -- dallasvt 01/14/2017 10:06PM

I thought Kraisser might get it -- dshort 01/15/2017 08:48AM

Yes agreed....didn't even face the highest ranked at the event ** -- Palmetto Hokie 01/14/2017 10:15PM

It's kind of annoying really. ** -- dallasvt 01/14/2017 11:31PM

Probably just trying to show integrity by not naming the homer MOW ** -- Rokie08 01/15/2017 12:21AM

Do you think naming Dance MOW would have been indicative of a lack -- dallasvt 01/15/2017 12:38AM

Actually OK with Valencia...he even jumped up a class & got a pin vs. NDS ** -- Palmetto Hokie 01/15/2017 09:16AM

Not saying it's outlandish. By the way, I did not know that -- dallasvt 01/15/2017 1:05PM
