"They both qualified to Olympic redshirt and it's definitely going to affect the team, but as a coach you have to do what's best for your athletes," head coach Barry Davis said in the school's press release. 

Medbery will be looking to make the team in freestyle after not placing at the U.S. Open or World Team Trials. Medbery was fourth at last years NCAA Tournament, and would have been the third highest returning placer this season.

Thielke will be looking to make the team in Greco after previously being the World Team reprsentative in 2013, and a runner-up finish to Spenser Mango at the U.S. Open. "Jesse Thielke is very good at Greco-Roman, but it's your day to day routine and consistency thats going to help him make the team," Davis added.
