Ohio college wrestlers going for All- American status.

I believe I (finally) have a completed list of automatic qualifiers, with more being announced later this week with wildcards.

125: Alex Mackall
133: Tim Rooney, Allan Hart
141: Tariq Wilson, Dom Demas, Matt Kazimir, Noah Baughman, Evan Cheek, Josh Heil
149: Bryce Andonian, Matt Kolodzik, Tanner Smith
157: Taleb Rahmani, David Carr
165: Alex Marinelli
174: Kaleb Romero, Andrew McNally
184: Rocky Jordan
197: Kollin Moore, Ben Darmstadt, JT Brown, Gage Braun
285: Gary Traub, Matt Stencel, Jon Spaulding, Jordan Earnest, Ryan Cloud

That's 27 qualifiers, which I think is pretty good. A list from OpenMat had 24 last year, which I thought was a down year. A list from FloWrestling has 30 qualifiers from 2018, which is probably what Ohio ends up with this year. All in all a pretty solid year for the state.

Couple fun facts:
- All MAC qualifiers at heavyweight came from Ohio
- The MAC 133 final was all-Ohio (Rooney over Hart)

Mitch Moore (141lbs/Virginia Tech), Skakur Laney (141lbs/Ohio), Zac Carson (157lbs/Ohio), and Ben Sullivan (285lbs/Army) were all added as At-Large qualifiers today, bringing Ohio's total up to 31. Very impressive total I think, hopefully they can grab some AAs and a National Champ or two.

I don't know if Connor Craig was slightly wrote off this year, as if last year was a fluke or luck.
