Thank you so much for these results!!
what about 174&197 at Hofstra?
174 is under “Wednesday Results” above. Victor Pozsonyi won both of his matches. There were no 197 matches, but our understanding is that one or more of the wrestlers who took part in the 184 round robin will be in the running, as will Zeal McGrew, who is dropping to 197.
