I saw the seeds but didn't see Harry's name. I thought I read somewhere that he would definitely be competing. Anyone have the scoop?

I think that he has already qualified for the Olympic Trials through previous finishes.

i believe the deal is: as a World medalist (bronze) last September, Harry does not have to win Vegas, he will automatically be in the 2 out of 3 wrestleoff vs the winner of the Mini-tourn in June to determine the World team spot..
whereas Tommy Rowlands who was also on the World team-- but did Not medal-- he has to win Vegas this weekend to automatically face the winner of the Mini-tourn in June in the best 2 out of 3 wrestleoff.
Hey, its a strange system, what can i say ?

I forgot about that. So Henry Cejudo is seeded first... will he be wrestling Stephen Abas in the 2 out of 3 finals?

No, the only wrestlers that get the automatic bye into the best 2 out of 3 series to make the olympic team are the wrestlers that medaled at last years world team.
The one exception is for Nate Gallick. If he qualifies the 60kg weight for the Olympics at the tourney in Poland, he is in the best 2 out of 3 series because this qualifer is at the same time as the US Nationals.
