I must be living under a Rock...oh wait, just in and around The Rock. Anyway, When did Hazewinkel make the switch to Freestyle?

Also I notice 3 Army guys ranked top 3 in Greco, but not a lot ranked that high in Freestyle, does that have to do with special military training (i.e. Hand to Hand Combat, etc).

Why isn't Zadick wrestling under the Iowa WC?

... I hadn't noticed, that is strange! His brother is one of the OTC coaches!
