Thanks LT for the updates. Action picks back up for the final day at 1pm today.
125 - Eddie V looking like his 23 self and takes on #4 Jordan of SDSU
141- Latona looked good in his loss to #1 and next takes on #4 Lemley of MI
149 - Henson the Hit Man is on another level. He has bonused in every match this season except the last one yesterday. If brackets hold true today should see Ridge Lovett for their 3rd career match against each other.
157 - Rafael Hipolito is strong, quick, still learning the nuances of wrestling and should be taking on #4 Kellar but the brackets on Flowrestling show him as a medical forfeit. He looked real good in his last match last night so not sure what that is about.
197 - local product Andy Smith advances to take on his toughest test in #1 Cardenas of MI who has outscored his opponents 50 - 5 in three matches.
285 - Mullen brings his youthful energy and quickness up against #7 Runyon

Team didn't give any clarity to his medical forfeit so I guess we wait to hear.
