A few interesting things here;
121.25
As stated above, Logan Stieber is entered at 121. It will be interesting to see him roll with some college guys. I had wondered why Hunter went to FILA Cadets, while Logan didn't (I am pretty sure he is young enough), now we have the answer. Other names at this weight are

Somebody posted a link to trackwrestling on themat, and that link worked. When I tried to back out of it and look at Senior Nationals, the list wouldn't come up, so I guess you need a link. I tried to hit all the bigger names, but this is the whole list:

Click here to view the whole list
I will edit the above post as more entries pour in, I assume there will be quite a few late ones. Man, is 163 going to be awesome. Give me Reader and Covington in the finals.

Also at 121.5 is Nikko Triggas which right now he could look like the favorite in this weight. I would love to see a Triggas vs. Stieber matchup here as Stieber has not lost a match in freestyle at all these past few years. 121.5 is looking to be a very tough weight class right now.
The 163 is brutal with argubably the two best high school wrestlers in the nation entered there between Wright and Welch. Reader and Covington have both proven themselves on the collegiate level as well which will only make this weight that much more interesting.

Perhaps someone will have another thought but 145.5 is the best group I've ever seen for this type of tournament for a few reasons. First, the level of talent is fantastic. Second, the talent is from different eras of wrestlng. Kolat to Metcalf, all the top wrestlers around this weight from the last several years, not just a few.
The "interest" factor, as far as the possibility of certain match-ups, may be higher than the talent factor, which is saying a lot.
