We'll take this time to look at ASU's seedings and preliminary round matches. A reminder, the MatJam is a double elimination tournament with the top two seeds getting a free-pass to the semifinals. 125: #3 Frank Celorrio: Frankie will open the day against the #6 seed Mitchell Johnson of UNCG. In the regular-season dual match, Celorrio defeated Johnson, 5-2. 133: #3 Terreyl Williams: Terreyl gets Davidson's Alex Radsky in the first round, a wrestler that the Durham, N.C. native bested in the dual match earlier this season, 12-7. 141: #2 Marcus Cox: Marcus is one of three Apps to gain a bye in the first round. He will get his first taste of the MatJam at 1 p.m. 149: #1 Scott Ervin: Scotty, ranked No. 13 in the nation will be going at 1 p.m. as well with his perfect 5-0 SoCon record this season. 157: #2 Eddie Hutchinson: Half of ASU's twin combo will be waiting a bit before opening the MatJam. His 17-9 record (4-1 SoCon) gives him a break. 165: #4 Tommy Hutchinson: Perhaps the biggest surprise of the seedings was Tommy's apparent snub. With a 20-16 record, 11 pins and 3-2 conference mark, most would have expected ASU's heavier twin to garner a higher seed. 174: #3 Neal Martin: Neal will attempt to return to the NCAA Championships, but will need three wins to do it. He will open against # 6 seed Derek Sickel from The Citadel. 184: #2 Austin Trotman: Austin, a freshman, will open in the semifinals thanks to a 19-10 record (3-1 SoCon). 197: #3 Dylan Temple: Thanks to a fortuitous Davidson absence, Temple gets a bye to the second round where he will get #2 seed Matt Koz in the semifinals. 285: #4 Jared Campbell: Jared (spelled Carlton in the brackets for some reason) gets #5 seed Aaron Brown in the opening round. Campbell bested Brown 2-1 in the regular season meeting. 9:36 a.m. Weigh-ins are complete and everyone is finding a way to relax. The team was in bed early last night to prepare for the early wake-up call this morning. The Apps are relaxed and ready for today's test.
