The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
The first weekend of competition has occurred and there are just enough results to manufacture a list. There will be shuffling in the coming weeks as some wrestlers join their lineups and descent plans cause wrestlers to switch weight classes.
Discuss, debate but most of all enjoy!
