1994 Iowa vs Penn state at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Shawn Nelson (PS) didnÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt make weight so Iowa bumped up #7th ranked Mike Mena to wrestle #3rd ranked Sanshiro Abe. Mena wrestled tough as a 118 pounder taking on 126lb #3 ranked opponent. Abe ended up 3rd at the NCAAÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs this year and Mena went on to place 7th, 3rd and 5th and 2nd respectively ending up a 4 time All-American for the Hawkeyes. Abe was the 1996 National Champion and a 4x All-American (4-3-2-1) as well as 3x Big 10 Champion. A lot of D1 greats wrestling in this dual, Brinzer, McCoy, Sharratt, Mcllravy, Weber, Mena, McGuiness. IÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂm posting the entire dual under my videos.

No, those are the gable ultraflex. Nice shoes but the suede gets ripped up pretty quick.

lol, if Kolat's tap was an unsportsmanlike move in the 134 match; how is Menna's not the same at 1:47 of this match?

i know. that was a totally chippy call.

Agreed, that call on Kolat was bogus. BTW, didn't McGinness come out of redshirt this season and wrestle?
