TOM’s American Wrestler 2011 PAC-10 Tournament Preview | OpenMat News

Interested to see how many guys that Boise St. gets into the dance.

125 Bartelli, 133 Hochstrasser, 149 Chamberlain, 157 Hall, 174 Jake Swartz, 184 Kirk Smith (assuming he's not still injured from the Okie State meet), 197 Casperson should all qualify.

I think they've got question marks for the following guys:

141 - #18 Levi Jones has the 2 seed at Pac 10s (which only has 2 auto-qualifiers). Also in his bracket are #5 Novachkov (Cal-Poly) and #13 Mangrum (Oregon St.). Jones is only 11-8 on the year (Ws over #9 Cleveland (UTC), #13 Mangrum, #20 Lindsey (Ohio; but some bad Ls to UR wrestlers). He should get a WC, but he can't totally crap the bed in the tournament like he did last year - #1 seed at Pac10s, finished 6th.

165 - Only 1 auto-qualifier for the Pac 10s, with #16 DesRoches (Cal-Poly) the 1 seed. Kurt Swartz is 10-8 on the year (No notable victories), but has the 2 seed. This is a really weak weight for the Pac 10. I don't see Swartz getting a WC, so he has to win the tournament to get in.

HWT - TJ Felix is only 9-9 on the year and the Pac 10 has only 3 auto-qualifiers. #19 Cooper (ASU) and #20 Jack (OSU) should be likely auto-qualifiers. Felix will be battling for 3rd with Morgan (CSB, 20-9 record and 2-0 vs. Felix) and Disney (Cal-Poly, 12-9 record and 0-1 vs. Felix). No WC for Felix.
