Guessing he's going to just do Freestyle. Here's short term schedule:

From intermat article:

"Lewis, who will still be training in Blacksburg with the Southeast Regional Training Center, will next travel to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado for a 10-week training camp before his first scheduled competition at the Dmitry Korkin International in Yakutia, Russia on Oct. 10-13. His first Olympic Trials qualifying event will be the Bill Farrell Memorial Open in New York City from Nov. 15-16."

So looks like Hokie Open would likely be out.

Mekhi taking an Olympic redshirt year is huge -- OrangeHokieFan 08/13/2019 11:21AM

174 is probably going to be the easier weight, as he is the highest ranked -- larhokie 08/13/2019 9:46PM

Is Marinelli eligible for an Olympic redshirt? I do not think he is. -- dallasvt 08/13/2019 10:05PM

It is hard to believe that this is his last year. Thanks for the post, I -- larhokie 08/14/2019 6:43PM

I am not sure DMF makes 165 -- texashokie1 08/13/2019 1:33PM

multi-viewpoint question: since he is redshirt/non-team status, can he -- HtownHokie 08/13/2019 1:25PM

Mekhi is using the unique "Olympic redshirt" opportunity -- Jerseyhokie29 08/13/2019 1:52PM

^^ thank you for indepth answer & confirming "unattached" opportunities: vv ** -- HtownHokie 08/13/2019 2:43PM

See 576 below, yakutia and NYC this fall ** -- Jerseyhokie29 08/13/2019 2:14PM

OK, so does it look like this OR..... if David doesn't drop down??? -- wasris 08/13/2019 12:15PM

2nd scenario .. -- KCDale 08/13/2019 1:37PM

I wonder if they leave DMF @ 174 and Brady @ 165 ** -- HOKIE MAGIC 08/13/2019 12:23PM

If DMf stays at 174, i think Brady goes 157 and Bc at 165 ** -- Rokie08 08/13/2019 5:12PM

Is Brady showing he’s ready to start vs shirting? ** -- emhokie 08/13/2019 6:21PM

That would have the most upside IMO ** -- HokieLifer2 08/13/2019 12:52PM

Looks like a hard choice -- hokie576 08/13/2019 1:03PM

If McF can make 165, then not a huge drop off in the lineup this year..... -- Hokie Flyer 08/13/2019 11:28AM

When you take a National Champion out of line-up -- texashokie1 08/13/2019 1:31PM

Taking our only ever national champ out of the lineup will be a big drop. -- hokie576 08/13/2019 12:54PM

I have to think ML will still wrestle some tournaments unattached, even if -- VPIGUY 08/13/2019 1:21PM

Guessing he's going to just do Freestyle. Here's short term schedule: -- hokie576 08/13/2019 1:49PM

Pretty sure there will be no folkstyle for Mehki this year.... -- hokietony 08/13/2019 3:16PM

Understand BUT ML is goin' for the GOLD!!! ** -- wasris 08/13/2019 12:58PM

The potential upside is huge. "Just" making the team would be unbelievable. -- hokie576 08/13/2019 1:11PM

here's hoping there's a couple undiscovered AA's on the roster who step-up ** -- HtownHokie 08/13/2019 2:47PM

Best case.DMF, Bolen, Myers, Moore (MY darkhorse...Borst)** -- wasris 08/13/2019 3:08PM

Borst -- VTHOKIE44 08/19/2019 8:28PM
