Still #1 - Illinois Wins Cadet FS Duals
Still #1 - Illinois Wins Cadet FS Duals
Earlier in the week, Illinois won Cadet Greco National Duals leaving little doubt. On Saturday, the doubled up in similar fashion.
Illinois' two titles give them 9 out of the last 12 Cadet Duals titles. The only question remaining is: what team was better, 2013 or this year's version?
Anchored by Larry Early and Isaiah White with a devastating middle of the line-up the, the 2013 team lost 34 of 119 bouts in their seven duals last. This year Illinois dropped 27 bouts. However, in 2013, Illinois not only had to wrestle the second best team (PA) in the finals, but also in the Pool Round.
While it's something for us fans to debate, there's no question that Illinois is in the midst of something unprecedentedly special.
