Scoreboard
Olympic Trials at the U. Senior Nationals this weekend. Lewis locked up a spot in the Olympic Trials on the first day advancing to the finals at his weight class while Walz earned a spot today on his way to finishing 3rd. Both Hokies comfortably got the job done with the top 5 wrestlers in each weight class earning spots in the U. Olympic Trials. Mekhi Lewis was impressive in particular reaching the final of the U. Senior Nationals before coming up just short losing to Logan Massa at 74kg. The fact that Lewis, at his age, has done as well as he has wrestling against former collegiate stars and full-time wrestlers is quite impressive. More importantly, Lewis has shown that he is a serious threat to earn a spot in the Tokyo Olympics. Meanwhile, Walz continues to get better as he focuses primarily on wrestling while also operating as an assistant for Virginia Tech Wrestling.
