<p>where were Alfaro at 125 lbs., Greene at 133 lbs., Renault at 165 lbs. and Vincent at 197 lbs. ??? Did they give them the day off?</p>
<p>From my understanding yes. The person I spoke with gave me the idea that it's still preseason and that they'll be wrestling later. Probably to keep them from getting hurt or something.</p>
<p>Where are the Wrestling Championships held? I know a ton of D3 Championships are held in Virginia and wondered if the wrestling is the same?</p>
