Perhaps I am the only one here who is paying attention to Stanford wrestling, but this is going to be the most successful NCAA tournament ever for the Cardinal.
After day 2 of 3, Stanford is in 6th place teamwise. The Cardinal has never finished in the top 10.
Stanford is assured of having 4 All Americans for the first time ever. Topping the list is Aden Valencia who will wrestle tomorrow afternoon for the championship at 149. He becomes the 4th Stanford wrestler in history to make the finals.
Nico Provo (125), Tyler Knox (133) and Angelo Posada (197) will compete earlier in the consolations. Each has made the consolation semifinals. They will finish somewhere between 3rd and 6th.
Two others almost made All American as well. Daniel Cardenas gave up a takedown with 13 seconds left in his elimination match to lose 4-1. EJ Parco lost in sudden death.
Consolation matches begin tomorrow on ESPNU at 8 am pacific. Finals at 3:30 on ESPN.
