I read your topic on Matt Murray too so I knew you still had Cliff Moore on your mind when you introduced this topic.
What do you think about Zach's chances in Freestyle now? Does he have any possible chance at this point of making the Olympic team this year? Or has that team already been determined?
Whether he does anything in the future in freestyle or not, this was sure an incredilble accomplishment to add to his resume. Besides being able to say he was a four time undefeated high school State Champion, a three time NCAA All American, he can now add the title former NCAA Division 1 National Champion. I am sure his family, former coaches, teammates and friends are extremely proud of him.
I think he has dang good chances to do very, very well in freestyle.
His Olympic outlook may be better in 2008, however. It isn't too late to make the Olympic team for this year, however, he is at a disadvantage to those that have been training for more than the month or two that Zach will be.
Not saying that Zach isn't good at freestyle; I believe he has proven that one over and again at all the various nationals he had placed at and/or won.
He will just likely need more time to train in just freestyle to get the the very upper level needed to win the Olympic Trials.
