Andrew was very impressive, he has a bright future

[@caniget1ksubswith0videos68]

Sparks story is great and heartwarming. If u don’t know about it, check out Cayden Henschel, he did a vid on it

[@philliphayner8357]

Holy...sparks could be great.

[@xenonmaster6668]

Anthony Robles started wrestling in 9th grade so He was a true freshmen with 4-5 years of experience

[@intothecountry74]

And was down a leg too

[@kev4850]

I thought he at around 6th grade?

Is that fake crowd noise bothering anyone else?

[@leanwithjaden]

Ya doesn’t even sound like a wrestling match

[@wrestlingscience]

[@antonioarriaga7017]

That’s crazy I am a New Years baby too

[@bmac145]

Dear BTN. Get rid of the fake crowd noise! PLEASE!

[@ElearningDigest]

I don't want to hear a silent arena. Screw that.

[@gregorymonteiro2744]

Sparks is gonna be dangerous

[@bigchickenjoe123]

Marinelli having a tough time tho

[@tyonwii2785]

Not even

[@bigchickenjoe123]

@@tyonwii2785 this kid has been wrestling for 4-5 years 🤡😭

[@roccotoulon4031]

I know only of 1 guy who never wrestled until hs and achieved what this Minnesota kid is doing
Troy emerson! And he graduated a yr younger than the rest of his class.

[@tdavidg9176]

@@tyonwii2785 take your Hawkeye glasses off and see this for what it is. Marinelli is a top 1 or 2 D1 wrestler the last few years. Sparks is a true freshman who has only wrestled since his freshman year in HS. He knocked off Z. Valencia’s little brother in the Cal state finals coming in unranked and Cael Valencia was not only number one in the state and undefeated, but was also ranked No. 2 nationally. Great pick up for the Gophers with a bright future.

[@user-de1dj9hd7e]

I am not perfect by any means but this ref needs some real help or work or both

[@justintime519]

I wanted to wrestle for Minnesota but I wasn't a redhead so I went to Iowa.
